Probably : But my question is, why would you want to? I am not sure the laws in that state but common sense would tell me that if it was discarded anyone could have it

Most Californians think it is until they find out it is NOT. In fact, you can be arrested & jailed if the owner of the business or property wants to press charges on you. I have been given warnings, but never a citation or an arrest because I put the items in question back into the dumpster, left & did not return to the dumpster. It is risky business & although I can see their side of the issue, what's wrong with lightening the load in the dumpster & the landfill? Insurance & property damage play a big part in all of this, & many Robberies have a look-out who uses the dumpster area as a reason to scope the place out! Added Later: Another fact that people should know is that the Company who owns the Dumpster & provides the pick-up service considers the contents of the container to be their property, just as the City & County agencies consider anything in the alley, on the sidewalk, or in the street to be their property & even when it reaches the local landfill area, the salvage rights prohibit anyone from removing anything that has arrived at the dump site!

Why would you want? Get a life. Put the time you would use diving in a dumpster to constructive use.

I believe it is between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:30 pm Monday thru Friday, but not on weekends or holidays. But I could be wrong about that.
