That's not garbage
The L.A. Times did a great piece
here on what they called 'freegans,' people who don't pay for things, and instead recycle what is already around, like grocery store food in dumpsters.
Logically I completely agree with the concept. There's a lot of food, furniture, and everything you could think of, that goes to waste.
But... I also am not willing to dig through stinky moldy bad food to find a good loaf of bread. Though I will take cardbord boxes from dumpsters, or furniture people leave out on the street.
If the idea were more socially acceptable, I think store owners would put the good stuff on top, knowing it's not going to waste.
