    Land fill

    I saw a picture in the news paper of Taylor trash co. dumping trash in a land fill I thought trash companies used machines to separate metals from the trash, well maybe some where in America but not by me. I see now that the items I retrieved from trash only containers by me and other scrapers are recycled & not wasted.
    ---------------------
    Wile metal only containers are not for scrapers , I see now that it is to bad when there is a talented group of people often called scrapers just waiting to fill the need of the recycle industry.
    when companies have to deal with hackers the best hired gun to stop it are hired (reformed) hackers.Well any one of us could be a huge help to the recycle industry we are trained & skilled.

    The way I read this is now you feel even if it's illegal you are justifying taking what you want in the name of conservation.

    You seem to beat the dark path for scrap by what you post.

    Metal containers are not for my hands , now if i see a container filled with garbage and some metal / wire / and other stuff it's clear to me thats it's going to the land fill in upstate NY maybe in California or other green community's its not but here it is , what I retrieve is not garbage and should not be treated as such . I still feel permission is the way to go. but at least i see i am not even taking from a company's non existent high tech system of recycling magnets -I see upstate NY is not high tech they are into land fills thats what they do

    when I have a large bath tub and washer on my roof and there is only room in car for me the driver that is the beat of the dark path to almost all other people who work from 9 to 5.
    -------------------------------
    According to Emoware.org, one of the web's most comprehensive guides to dumpster diving worldwide, dumpster diving may be considered a form of trespassing. It is up to the dumpster owner to press charges, give a warning or ignore dumpster divers.
    ------------------
    Breaking into a locked dumpster or going into a shed or building to get to the dumpster may be considered malicious damage. Although the charge would not be for dumpster diving, the charge is indirectly caused by dumpster diving.
    -------------------
    Freeganism is a movement of people who are not homeless but live off of dumpster diving in an effort to reduce their carbon footprint, but they do not advocate trespassing or breaking into a dumpster.
    -----------------------
    A book by Susan Strasser, "Waste and Want: A Social History of Trash," she charts trash picking as part of the way the poor have been able to survive. Dumpster diving is considered trash picking.
    ---------------
    In 1988 the United States Supreme Court ruled that it is legal to do so. Exceptions are when dumpsters are locked, are inside gates, still town laws supersede

    Great work Copper Head! If we were able to keep you busy long enough to post all that maybe just maybe we stopped another crime that is the cause of all the uproar of new laws!

    One minute you act very smart and the next you make the most absurd posts! What the hell are you smoking?

    I know when i hit the road I cause no harm , the police over look me cause they know I am in areas not causing harm. I look in a dumpsters not in some ones yard . I pull stuff out of a dumpster that really looks like trash . I don't pull a persons AC out for copper or lawn furniture for AL . but if it's in the trash I want it and intend to get it .
    --------------
    If laws are passed to totally stop trash picking that is greed thats all.

    Well that is better. Sorry but you seemed to have drift off the path of an honest buck in several posts, glad to see you come back down to Earth.

    I have nothing against you but your earlier suggestions set me off a bit!
