Many places in the city have indoor compactors, and many dumpsters are locked. If you find an unlocked dumpster, be sure to keep the area clean and avoid sharing the location publicly, as this can lead to the dumpster being locked. You can try walking around and looking for spots in different neighborhoods.

When searching for a dumpster, look for one behind a large store. Wear protective gear, such as gloves and a mask, and consider wearing shoes that can withstand rough surfaces. It's also a good idea to avoid dumpsters in front of stores that are known to be strict about their waste disposal. You might have more luck finding usable items in small shops that dispose of their waste in garbage bins. Some popular items to look for include bread, pre-packaged goods, and household supplies like laundry detergent.

You can also try approaching a store owner or manager just before closing time and asking if they have any food they're about to throw away. Be kind and honest in your approach, and the worst they can say is no. This tactic can be particularly effective in bakeries, where they often discard unsold pastries and bread.

Most franchises and chain stores tend to recycle or donate unsold items, rather than throwing them away. Stores like Dollarama and Pharmaprix often have strict waste management policies. If you're looking for non-food items, consider joining online groups or communities that specialize in finding and sharing free or low-cost items. Alternatively, you can try searching for items on the street on July 1st, when many people are moving and discarding unwanted items.
