In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, dumpster diving is generally legal as long as the trash is on public property. However, it is illegal to trespass on private property or to create a mess when diving through trash. Additionally, some establishments may have specific rules against scavenging through their trash bins.
In general, when you place items in the trash and that trash is in a public area for pickup, anyone can go through that trash at any time. Trash bins and dumpsters are generally placed on a public right of way for collection, i.e. a sidewalk or street. This means that the trash is no longer on your property and you can no longer control who has access to it. Similarly, items that are placed in the common area of an apartment or condo complex are no longer the private property of the person who placed them there. Anyone in the complex can take those items if they choose. If you want to avoid having others see what you are placing into the trash, your best bet is to wait until just before the trash collector arrives to put your trash out. To protect yourself from identity theft, shred documents that contain sensitive information before placing them in the trash.
