Laws
From Trashwiki
(Redirected from Law)
In most countries there are no laws against recycling trash. Some countries or states like Germany or certain US states do have regulations.
Some dumpster divers have been known to be fined or even imprisoned for a short time (for instance, this case in Germany, or Ollie's case in Belgium...), although generally it is not a very common thing to happen. If you act according to diver's etiquette, you reduce your chances of legal implications.
As of January 2009, activists in Reno (Nevada, US) are running a campaign to "keep laws regarding dumpster diving in Reno off the books".
