The Dumpster Code

1. Always wear proper clothing.

2. Always carry a good flashlight or wear a headlamp.

3. Don't dive without a buddy.

4. There's a difference between a dumpster and a compactor - don't learn that difference the hard way.

5. Avoid dumpsters that

• smell.
• are littered with the bones of small animals.
• are crawling with black widow spiders.
• have arcane symbols painted on them.
• have professionally posted Hazardous or Medical Waste signage.
• are being emptied or will be emptied while you are inside.
• are guarded by large rats.

6. Dig in dumpsters that

• don't fall under Category 5.
• are popular with the Fair Folk of the Shopping Cart.

7. Good girls don't kiss and tell - so don't divulge delish dives.

8. Never ever leave anyone behind.
