    That's my thinking, he's factoring in the amount he's going to make on his future fiction book "Dumpster Diving for Dollars", one of those "Self help Books", that help some, but mostly help the authors. I will say, I have made some money from dumpsters, none of them from retail stores.

    Funny I check dumpsters every single day, retail, apartment complexes, commercial, repair shops, and have yet to make 2500.00 in one day. A lot of the stuff i find gets used by me or my family. There is a lot of good stuff that gets thrown out and i do ok selling things at the local weekend flea market that i do find and can't use but wow. I must be doing something completely wrong. Every single dumpster I check I have asked permission and been given the ok after i explain to them how it saves them money by not having to have their dumpster emptied as often and offer to sign something stating that if I am hurt it is my responsibility not theirs. If i am told no i leave my number with them and tell them that if they need anything hauled off in the future to give me a call. Usually within a month or so they end up calling me for a pick up. This method has worked great for me but not 2500.00 a day great
