Before exploring our resources, we ask that you please review the following disclaimers and terms governing your use of our site and the content/advice provided.

User Discretion Advised 

While dumpster diving can be an exciting and rewarding experience, it also comes with inherent risks and responsibilities that shouldn’t be taken lightly. DumpsterDiving101 strives to equip our community with comprehensive best practices for diving safely and legally. However, you as the user must take full accountability for your actions.

All dumpster diving is undertaken at your own risk. DumpsterDiving101 and its affiliates cannot be held liable for any injuries, damages or legal issues arising from advice or information on this site being put into practice negligently or illegally.

We strongly advise doing thorough research on the specific dumpster diving laws and regulations in your local area, assessing all potential hazards, and proceeding with absolute caution and integrity if you choose to dive. User discretion is paramount.

Dumpster Diving Laws & Policies 

Speaking of legalities, let’s be crystal clear – DumpsterDiving101 categorically condemns and does not endorse:

  • Trespassing on private property
  • Engaging in theft or burglary
  • Violating any established local, state or federal dumpster diving laws
  • Ignoring or circumventing clearly posted dumpster policies and guidelines set by property owners

We are supersaturated believers in respecting all applicable dumpster access rules and diving only with proper authority or implicit permission. Any content suggesting otherwise should be disregarded.

Any claims or statistics cited by DumpsterDiving101’s content regarding dumpster characteristics, item conditions/edibility, material values, etc. are generalized estimates based on anecdotal evidence and research. We make no guarantees about the accuracy of this information across all dumpster diving scenarios, nor do we accept liability for losses/damages related to relying upon such claims.
