As I see I'm not the only one coming back from the dumpster sometimes with more than I got rid of. Some idiotic law over here at least actually makes it a crime to take even worthless junk with no material value with you from there, most of the personnell however don't care.
Someone mentioned the Shorpie site. A friend scanned and uploaded a bunch of his father's 35mm color slides taken of Detroit in the 1960s. Years later he was contacted by a restaurant in San Francisco that offered him a free meal in exchange for permission to use his photo and a year after that, a book publisher gave him a small royalty and an autographed copy of a coffee table book that used another photo.
Interesting point of law here... Property placed at the curb is considered abandoned and of no value. Thus the police need no warrant to collect your garbage, which has been used to discover drug manufacture, ID theft rings, etc. .
