Goodwill Dumpsters can be a gold mine

Ugh. Please PLEASE don't just go dumbster diving.

I'm not sure how it is in the US but in the UK i used to volunteer for a GW equivalent shop and yes, we would throw stuff away that some would consider valuable. The manager actually didn't mind as long as you came in and asked her about it but that stopped after people took the piss and every morning my manager would get to the shop and have to spend the firs 30 minutes cleaning literal garbage off the floor. It was just so disrespectful at some point they started locking the bins.

Points is - If you gonna go dumbster diving ask the shop's manager first.... If they don't let you but you still feel like being an asshole and doing it anyway at least fucking clean up after yourself.

Also be careful. At least in the UK - a lot of shops are instructed to shatter breakables so don't just jump into the bin you could easily get hurt.
