wow, I'm sorry bizzle for my april fool's joke comment. I'm not sure I'd ever dumbster dive unless I really had to. One of my last dealers use to Dumpster dive in vancouver, he knew all the best spots at all the best times. Its amazing what people just throw out. But I don't think I could even eat a pre packaged sandwich from the garbage, unless it was really necessary.....
