This reminds me of when I managed a Subway restaurant a while ago.
Our restaurant was on the far end of a parking lot dominated by WalMart. In Alaska, WalMart offers up their parking lots to RV's for overnight camping. (Don't ask me WHY tourists like to stake their RV's and lawn chairs on our WalMart parking lots...) What would happen every summer was that these 100's of RV's would see our dumpster as the closest one, and come toss their crap into it. It would literally fill up not 3 hours after it was emptied. Finally I had to put a big sign on it saying "NO RV TRASH". It worked for about a week; then one day I found the dumpster suddenly full again, and a dead porcupine draped over the rim. Dunno where it came from, but it was pretty gross. Finally I had to lock the dumpster. It's sad when you have to lock your trash.

Another question. We use a shipping company down there to receive packages. Are they allowed to give out my friend's information to the restaurant owner? I'm assuming it is, since we did do something illegal, but I just want to confirm.

Everytime we put a construction dumpster out on site, everyone thinks its time to clean out their garage. It costs about $400-500 here to dump 30 yds...so it does add up.

Oddly enough I ran in to something like this today.
I was going out back to toss some foam inserts out, when I bent over to press it all down my pager fell from my breast pocket pretty far in.
So I spent a few minutes sitting in this dumpster digging around looking for it, next thing I know I have an officer telling me its Illegal to dig through other peoples trash cans/dumpsters/anything of that sort.
I guess he thought I was digging for some goodies or something, anywho .. I told him what happend and he began to tell me that I cant use someone eles trash, so I then had to explain it was my companies, yadda yadda ... really interesting day.
