Dumpster Dipping (for a small planet or just for fun)

Step 6 Safety

Safety is a priority in this hobby.
Do not get in the dumpster! Reach in, preferably with a gripper stick.
If you reach with your hands wear gloves.
Only touch things gently in case there are sharp things lurking.
Do not eat from open packages.
Do not encourage minors to be dippers. Safe Dipping takes good judgment, and you may encounter non-kid-appropriate items.

at up to what age would you class a "kid". 13?

Personally, I'd say under age 18 is too young. Yesterday I found a couple of boxes of cigars that are not legal for minors. Age improves judgment, and judgment is important in dipping.

oh c'mon, you just don't want an underage boy to look like an important business man with those cigars. you're hoarding them for yourself.

 I agree with you, about judgement. But I am 14 and would never touch a cigar/cigarette in my life. I have good judgement. I would really like to do this (in the recycling aspect.) But I guess your judgement is probably better then mine...

Dude, I dumpster dive and I'm 12. I've found an old licence plate, 2 Cd-rom drives, an outdated computer book, and a computer chair that could be fixed with some duct tape.
