Yes, that's the key to it, is if you can do it without getting either in trouble OR (I say) messy. I could do it in a white shirt & never get it dirty, but that's the way I am. I would *never* advocate getting into a smelly, messy dumpster...that's just gross. But if it's just sitting on the curb, and it's too good to let go into the dump, then grab it!
