Twins
Finding dumpsters, like these twins, is always nice for the dumpster diver. More dumpsters mean more chances to find valuable items with less travel time.

Many dumpster divers only dive for unwanted pallets. These pallets can be sold. Doing a little research could be very profitable for a diver. Beware though; just because a pallet is lying around does not mean it's trash. It's always a good practice to ask before taking pallets.
