I dumpster dived in my wild youth, but I'm surprised its feasible to earn $250K a year doing it full time.  I had thought stores had wised up and locked up their dumpsters in the last decade or two, but it must only be the food stores so far.  Also I thought there were corporate processes in place for all returns/shelf pulls to go to a liquidation wholesaler.  Is there a lot of individual store variability over that aspect???
