Think about the things you throw out. Some still have some use, such as old shirts that don't fit right, books that you are never going to read, and even good food. Even though there are recycling programs, a lot of stuff gets wasted. Interestingly, some people try to get the things they need by finding them rather than buying them.
Taking objects from the trash is called dumpster diving. Dumpsters are the big garbage containers that stores use. Many stores throw away whatever they cannot sell, which means there are some great items to be found. It is hard and a bit dirty, but many people believe that it is worth it. Are you ready to take a dive in a dumpster?

請您想想那些您拿去丟掉的東西。有些東西還是有些用處，像是尺寸不合的舊上衣、您永遠不會再閱讀的書籍，甚至是還沒壞掉的食物。即便有各種資源回收的計畫，還是有很多東西被浪費掉。有趣的是，有些人試著用「挖寶」而非「購買」的方式來得到他們所需的東西。 
從垃圾堆裡撿拾東西的這種行為就叫做dumpster diving。而dumpster就是商家使用的大型垃圾箱。許多商店會丟掉他們賣不出去的東西，這也就是說，人們可以在當中發現一些很棒的東西。 dumpster diving沒那麼容易，而且也有點髒，不過很多人卻認為這樣做很值得。您準備好要一頭栽進垃圾箱裡了嗎？
