dumpster dive a bar?

[Mutilated1]

Good grief - I would never go into the trash can for beer bottles. Just save the bottles from beers you drink and in a couple months you'll have more bottles than you can use anyway. There is totally no need to be going into some filthy-ass garbage dumpster for bottles.

...there was a sign on the dumpster that said it was illegal to remove anything from them. if it wasn't where it was i would have loaded up....

There are more honorable ways to accumulate bottles....like drinking good beer.

RE: recycling center:

This is taken from another site- I looked around to make sure I'm not out of my mind or out of order. It bears a striking resembalance to how we have been conducting business here.

10. Please be discreet with any discussion of current illegal activity. We do not wish to incur any liability, nor do we wish to make any member uncomfortable with discussion or images of your latest bag, ongoing tax evasion, home distilling, etc.

So let's not hear any more of it and I promise to keep the pitchfork brigade in check as well. You've heard from 4 prominent posters here about why it's wack... I think that's sufficient.

Cripes, if you were anywhere near MA, I'd give you all the bottles you need. It's really not THAT difficult to accumulate bottles, even with the relative lack of commercial stuff I consume, I have WAY more than I could ever use. Throw a "bottle collection" party, tell everyone who comes that they need to bring a sixer of something with non-twist-off tops.

When I read that "Hit up the recycling center" thing, I assumed he actually went in and asked. Some recycling centers actually are in operation to recycle (rather than resell scrap) and some of them are quite willing to let you dig through the bottles they're about to crush and take as many as you can haul.

You might want to also check out Freecycle.org, it's a site to connect you with other people who recycle and sometimes people will toss bottles in a box for you if you post but it's highly variable depending on where you live.

i have no problem going over to a bin with gloves and grabber. i wont climb into a bin. and there shouldn't be any problem with it. if you dont feel like doing it more power to you. to be honest i drink bud lite if i am going to buy some beer. reason being is stores close at 9pm here and well i really dont like spending 10 bucks a 6 pack. well ok 8 but you know what i mean. anyway the bars i stop off have no problem with me doing it. i know the owner of a couple of the bars i hit this past weekend and meet another. they are all willing to have their people save bottles but i don't want to have them do it since they have better things to do like serve their patrons. also i was and am needing bottles pretty quickly for the apflwine. the reason for so many corona bottles. and i like the redstripe bottles and there is no way i am paying a premium for either beer.

the real reason i looked was the alum bottles i want to get a bunch of. i do buy cases of bud lite for them so i have a case so far but would be nice if i can get them allot quicker then buying a case every month or so.

and on top of all of this what better way of putting to use something that would most likely go into the ground.

BTW i did swing by a recyling center and there was no sign but didnt feel right looking so i took some bottles i grabbed that i thought were corona and ended up being bud lime and put them in.
