so do you like go into the dumpster that has crap and nasty stuffiin it oer just paper dumpsters? it seems like the paper ones are the obvious choice but they are not in my area...=(
@expresspowerwash2011 Dumpster diving is legal unless otherwise posted. Here is the catch, some jurisdictions may pass laws about trash picking or trespassing, but the act of dumpster diving according to the supreme court is legal!! :)
where on earth are you finding paper only dumpsters? around here the recycling bins arent sorted so they are full of razor sharp can lids and nasty rotten dripping bottles from milk and no one rinses out the cans so the smell is fierce.
Well, I am a couponer and a court reporter in the same city as Mr. Coupon, and I have a case pending before my judge of dumpster diving. So it is illegal and you can get arrested and be facing criminal charges. I wish it weren't so, cuz I'd be in there with my gloves on - sleeves rolled up!
ya ya they say its illigal but every one does it and no-one gets introuble. i just recintly started doing this at my local newspaper bulding. after 1 pm on sundays they throw out all there sunday papers and i kid u not i came home with like 100 smart sources and like 10 Red Plums and a few extra coupons that i found in there. the bin was not like the one in the vidio it was huge and had a lader on the side. so u can imagen. i was so fortunat.

I have several of those recycle dumpsters near my house but I always want to check if what I will do is right so I contacted the company and the told me "Scavenging through recyclable material is illegal. It's also not a free-for-all. Once the newspapers are in the bins, they become property of the paper retriever"
So, I don't think I will be doing it. Not because is gross but because is illegal.
I love to save..but you are not allowed to get INTO a dumpster. We have hundreds of the same kind here in Dallas, and it says very clearly on the side..do not enter/get in the dumpster!
the only thing that holds me back because i'm afarid i'd get arrested..your thoughts? ever had a run in w/the law? Where do you find a paper dumpster?
Good tips. There is a great paper dumpter right up the street from me, but it is on school grounds. During school hours would be a no-no and at night i don't want neighbors calling the cops on me. lol
I hope someone can answer this, but what do extreme couponers do for fresh fruits and vegetables. Or do they just always eat frozen and canned. I ask this not to condescend but because of my personal preference, almost everything I eat is from scratch, not frozen, and not processed, and I was wondering are there deals for these things too?
@icesnoop Sometimes if you contact the farms and companies that put out the fresh produce..they will send you free coupons or if they are close by give you a great deal on coming by and picking your own such as berries etc..
@shereah Where are you in middle TN? I live in the norther part of middle TN and have newspaper recycling dumpsters. I'm always looking for another dumpster buddy! There are 3 of us that go every Monday
I live very close to a recycling center where they have paper bins (kind of like a huge cardboard box that holds only paper) that you can go & search for coupons any time they are open. It has been a great savings & fun way to get coupons!!!
Im so proud. I thought to do this on my own. I also found the local sunday paper delivery people. They leave me a pile of left over inserts at the end of their run.
what about receipts and upcs for refunding. Thats another reason I loved dumpster diving. I don't dumpster dive anymore due to lymphedema in my legs. I sure do miss it. Hubby said he won't dumpster dive for me.
I wish I can dumpster dive, but man the folks here just throw everything into the dumpster even if it is labeled "paper only". but it will be interesting to see what i can find.
i live in small county i thought they might help me but no one want to help and i try to search for the paper dumpster i have no idea so i dont what to do i dont want to buy alot of news paper help what should i do i have tryed to ask people gass station if they can give me there copuon out of sunday paper and they dont want to give it to me :(
@shaima00 What u can do its go to paper retriever google it and go to bin finder and put in ur zip code and it will tell u where to fin bins close to ur area. Hope this help.
lol your the koolest money saver!!!!!!!! Im just starting so i am doing my homework! I have been a single diva for years! Im 31 and just married a wonderful man with two lilttle girls, wow, how life changes no more jessica simpson shoes! I have always been a coupon user but nothing this extreme!t now that i am married i want my family to not be with out and still have money to save for retirement and college! Thanks Mr. Coupon for helping people with your talent!
@lilimendoza1 heres another tip,saving money is like saving toilet paper,i mean saving money in the bank not from coupons,it is just devaluing more everyday,college is another big scam,kids go to college get $40,000 in debt then graduate and find out they cant get a job and are $40,000 in debt.just another money saving tip.
Nathan, I live right down the street from you. Anyway, I didn't know you were in that dumpster and I tossed a bunch of trash on your head. Sorry buddy!
You are great!!!!!!! my goal.......keep up with you. We live in Southeast Kansas and don't have the grocery store opportunities you do but I am pretty good at the couponin' business.
@angelalewis32 I saw that too LOL, I meant to say just "junk sticking to ya", not YOUR junk LOL, URG, I didn't want to go back and re-shot the entire thing just for one word!!!
I'm not knocking the guy for getting a deal. I'm a heavy couponer myself... but shouldn't he put the gloves on before he jumps in the dumpster? I guess a bottle of free sanitizer or soap will come in handy when he gets out:)
@carmellac2000 Why would anyone call the cops on him? he's not sleeping in there or living in there, just taking stuff he wants out, not making a mess or anything.
there is nothing wrong about salvaging coupons that are still valid from paper bins and paper dumpsters. we are in a financial crisis and it is crucial to save money by doing anything you can to reduce your financial spending. even people with a house or an apartment, with a job and enough money for basic items and basic services can salvage coupons that are still valid from paper bins and paper dumpsters.
I always get my coupons from the recycling bin at the dump. The guys there know me well and when I pull in they actually help! Everyone gets a kick out of it and I never feel bad about what I'm doing. People see that we live a very nice lifestyle thanks to the thousands I save using coupons. People should never be ashamed or embarrased about saving money!
oh yeah, you dont want your hands so gross while you're sitting in a dumpster. cool.
