I don't feel bad about salvaging good stuff from the dumpster of a for-profit thrift store that takes donations and sells them for scrap, probably $0.10 a pound. I got a whole box of professional chef's knives last year that several people are still using. They have a sign near the dumpster, "No Scavenging," but f**k that (pardon my French). If I get a charge for doing charity I'll do the time standing on me head.They actually passed a law/regulation here in NY several years ago making dumpster diving a misdemeanor charge, something about losing revenue, theft of county/state property! LOL
