Do you think Dumpster diving should be illegal?

Asked at Checkers, 2300 La. on July 30, 2005

“No. There is so much waste in this country. If someone can recycle something, they might as well.”

“Well, people put their refuse in the garbage. That means they have refused it and aren't interested what happens to it. I guess maybe someone could get hurt on the property, but I don't think it should be illegal.”

“No. It's technically abandoned if they throw it away, but if the Dumpster is on someone's property, you might be trespassing.”

“I think it should be illegal because it could be an invasion of privacy and it's dangerous. There could be hazardous waste in the trash.”
