Legality of skip-hunting/dumpster-diving in Ireland?
Quote:
The page you link to above suggests that "skipping" or dumpster-diving may be legal if the skip is on the public road. I'm not sure exactly what the law is in Ireland about these matters, but skip-hunters should be aware that in England it "may qualify as theft within the Theft Act 1968 or as common-law theft in Scotland, though there is very little enforcement in practice." It is illegal in Sweden, where "the contents of a dumpster is the property of the owner of the dumpster so taking items from a dumpster is technically theft." In some countries (e.g. Italy), dumpster-diving is not illegal. Source: Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumpster_diving Regards Chris P Admin |

Dumpster diving
I'm more shocked at what the shops throw away, than I am at seeing the guying foraging for food although that just makes me a tad queasy!
I think the supermarkets should have some sort of system whereby they arrange to give it away at the end of each day or sell it off for a few pennies. |

i watched a tv programme on these people once who literally dumpster dived for everything. Ithink they spend something like 20 pound a month maximum.

I do say in my post that "I'm not sure exactly what the law is in Ireland about these matters..." and Wikipedia is a quick and covenient source to give Members an idea re: the legality of skip-diving in general. If Members have any info regarding Ireland specifically, it would be great if they could share it on the thread. Regards Chris P Admin |

dumpster diving
Wouldnt it be a lot easier just to ask the person filling the dumpster outside or inside their property, if you could have a rummage. I,d imagine most people wouldnt care so long as they get rid of their stuff.Thats what usually happens round my way if peolple hire skips to do a clearout.

Dumpster diving
Just be careful that naughty people don't dump their junk into YOUR skip! That's our experience. On one occasion we found so much stuff dumped in our skip there was barely enough room for our own, and we paid for the skip! What a cheek!
