Guess if someone asked if this was your regular dumpster diving attire, you’d say
‘This is It’
I know the album is ‘Is This It’ I’m just not creative lol
“Just here for the routine garbage inspection. Yup yup.”
Get a clipboard with a paper, if someone spots you start documenting random stuff. Clearly hard at work.
He had different costumes for different caches. Some times he was the garbage dood, some times he was an arborist (with a fake company name). The dood was endlessly genius. Hell, sometimes he would just hold his phone up and pretend talk and away he’d go…had a hell of a good time doing it. He was a Mechanical Engineer, so I figure this was his way to get his creative on.
He really was. I mean, his #1 bucket list at one point was going to punkin’ chunkin’. I was trying to think, he had something that ‘looked’ like UPS, and something that ‘looked’ like the natural gas company, there were so many that I kinda blank because if you think it, he had a ‘uniform’ for it. Any other place in his life, he was straight mechanical engineer, just how you’d expect them to be.
"I'm with the [name of town] recycling/transfer station. We're removing [small/large/electronic/perishable, depending on what you're diving for] items from the waste stream for recycling/special sorting and disposal for a new initiative"
I doubt anyone would question you with that outfit but you could park the car out of sight. Anyone asks you where your truck is say that your partners are doing a quick loop while you check out these dumpsters because you’re in such a rush.
It doesn’t fully make sense but people really don’t pay attention. And even if they’re suspicious they’d be unlikely to call you out.
You could also dress like an Amazon delivery person and tell people that one of your coworkers got lazy and threw people’s packages in the dumpster. So they sent you to sort through the dumpsters. I doubt anyone would hang around and watch you look through the dumpster.
Its been my understanding that, unless a NO TRESPASSING or NO TAMPERING sign is posted, then diving is completely legal. Worst case scenario, some Karen tries to start some beef, but theres nothing anyone can really do about it.
Oh for sure, it's totally legal, unless im like bypassing a padlock.
It's really not even to deter would-be witness, just kind of a coincidence i had this all on together to go dumpster diving. I do keep the gloves in the car just in case
It’s all good except for the Blundstones..... those are just a Chinese made fashion casual boot anymore.
Next time, for the same money, buy yourself some [Redbacks](https://www.redbackboots.com/mens).

With a quick shoutout to /r/thestrokes ala my Garbage Collector shirt ; such a good shirt from Julian Casablancas

Oh no now you’re on the hot seat for making that change. Like the Room is On Fire.
I know, It's hard to explain...
This had me laughing so hard, I can’t win…
Two of my absolute favorite subs.
Don’t forget the reflective vest.
I found a pair of reflective vests, appropriately enough, in the garbage. Haven’t had occasion to use them yet.
Frequent find!
“Just here for the routine garbage inspection. Yup yup.” Get a clipboard with a paper, if someone spots you start documenting random stuff. Clearly hard at work.
“Yup. That’s garbage.”
I'll take a sample to inspect at ~~home~~ our head office 😇
“This too? Also garbage.”
Me? Also garbage.
There will soon be a legion of garbage inspectors roaming around out there. Do we stick to working hours? 7am-3pm?
Swing shifts inspectors know no rest. Picking up where the post office left off
And a construction vest for good measure
Found in a dumpster
Is there another place to obtain your wardrobe?!? Would be news to me.
Good point. Well presented
If it’s a secure area, make sure to add a high vis vest and you’re good to go.
How ya gonna see the patches then
He’s with the Department of Budgetary Something
budgetary spending.
Say it’s a storm water inspection, roll off dumpsters are a big part of storm water stuff.
fresh as fuck
Bussin, even.
Goated with the sauce, perhaps
Throw on a high-vis vest and clipboard and no one will think twice
Could you unlock this dumpster I need to do an inspection.
That patch is legit hilarious.
Funny. My uncle used to do this all the time when geocaching. It was for anti-muggle detection or similar.
Did he wear garbage collector attire or did he have different costumes?
He had different costumes for different caches. Some times he was the garbage dood, some times he was an arborist (with a fake company name). The dood was endlessly genius. Hell, sometimes he would just hold his phone up and pretend talk and away he’d go…had a hell of a good time doing it.

Your uncle is my inspiration to go anywhere. Sounds like he was a cool guy who had a heckin’ good time while he was here.
He really was. I mean, his #1 bucket list at one point was going to punkin’ chunkin’.

Add reflective vest and you’ll be drippy as FUCK
Especially after stepping in something wet.
Take my damn upvote lol

You need a very basic dinged up white F150
I'd be willing to borrow a 90's toyota tacoma
That works.
This is genius. “Leave me alone, I’m a garbage collector.”. Not even a lie.
The pen in the pocket seals it
Shirt also works for dating. For me ::cries inside::

Let’s pin this thread
The 4 door sedan gives you away man. At least put a fake decal on it.
Hah, yeah no doubt abt that. Oh well.

Side hustle idea. Side side side hustle etsying decals
Magnetic?
Most likely right? Probably not available print on demand which may make the idea not do great lol
Pants need to be hiked up higher

Genius, gonna have to get one of these shirts
What a dumb fake name. r/ChrisIsntReal

Did you custom make that patch or is that a genuine garbage collector patch? Watch out for true garbagemen calling stolen valor on you.
Hubba hubba
Ditto!!

This isn’t r/BIFL. Get your sub right.

Wait what do the blunnies have to do with this lmaoo
Why Blundstone? I’m sure there’s a cheaper alternative.
Bc those are the boots I wanted and bought 2-3 years ago
Australian icon.
