Junk Creation

Definition of Dumpster Diving

by Joshua Johnson on January 2nd, 2008

Dumpster

I found a good definition of Dumpster Diving.  You can find that definition here.

Part of the definition is:

The practice of raiding the dumpsters behind buildings where producers and/or consumers of high-tech equipment are located, with the expectation (usually justified) of finding discarded but still-valuable equipment to be nursed back to health in some hacker’s den. Experienced dumpster-divers not infrequently accumulate basements full of moldering (but still potentially useful).

I think I this blog seems to prove the last portion, since my often talked about “junk drawer” is similar to the “basements” mentioned.
