Anything apart from dumpsters was new and their generic names are not known by any one around. Wino or Hobo corrupt the name and call them Dipsy Dumpster. One year of doing dumpster diving became hopeless. Word scavenging is applicable and using scrounging is always the best when referring to obscure.

Scavengers will find it not their idea of good time to be intoxicated in a public place during the day.
