From economic reasons to the thrill of the hunt, there are many reasons why people go dumpster diving in Louisiana. But, is dumpster diving illegal in Louisiana? Well...it's complicated...kind of.
Have you ever had a lot of trash or something that you needed to dispose of but didn't want to take the time to go to the landfill or city dump? Have you ever eyed someone else's dumpster and thought, 'Why not?' before thinking better of throwing your stuff away?
If you are a dumpster diver, are considering going dumpster diving, or are the person dumpster diving here at our radio stations in West Shreveport, please don't.
Just for clarification, Louisiana is not the trashiest state because of the number of trailer parks per capita. We're talking literal trash, the kind that people throw out the windows of their cars. Like dirty diapers wadded up and tossed in the parking lot of Wal-Mart...
