Jason and Candice's first Dumpster Dive

Our first dive was pretty successful. We started off slow in an alley near Ukrops. We found a can of beans and a remote - and a sudden fear of dirtiness (well, at least I did). As we walked away, a man came walked to the dumpsters saying "There's more stuff in the dumpsters than a can of beans."

His name is Russell, a dumpster diver and train hopper that had stopped in Richmond in route to Georgia. He was with Todd and Lilly. These had to be the nicest people I have met in the six years I've lived in Richmond (says Candice).

Russell found in the same dumpsters we peaked in: a flash drive, a toy plane, a anime keychain, two pairs of decent shoes, markers that worked and two pliers.

We made a second dumpster run on Main St. near Uptown. I, Candice, took a peak in one of the garbage cans and found 12 belts!
