Theres literally thousands of businesses with dumpsters around here, I just really don't want trouble from people or even cops for being on private property.



I'm only able to get out after business hours cause of work, and the cops in my city are allll fresh outta college and on massive power trips, so explaining why your behind a business after dark (in winter..) is out of the question (one kid just got beat up for hitting and breaking a Christmas ornament at the mall. For you guys who are bored, look it up, "Barrie police charged with assault on teen" brutal.... THAT'S what I'm worried about.)
Besides the legality of it all, there are better and far more effective way of getting scrap/recyclables. I will suggest checking previous post to see the many ideas. Also, dumpster diving is dangerous. You are exposing yourself to a host of health issues. Once again, checkout prior posts to learn about what I'm talking about.
