Dumpster Diving Contest

calendar Posted on May 5th, 2010 04:14:49 PM

The first ever Beach Cans dumpster diving contest is upon us.

We are scouring the net for the best, funniest, most bizarre images we can find from people who live near a dumpster, have gone dumpster diving, or just happened upon one and saw a rare photo op they just couldnt pass up.

A cash prize of $500 will be awarded to the image that receives the most votes. So submit your best work or start looking for the next roll off moment that may get you some extra spending money.

The only thing we ask is that we don't get any images of dead animals, human beings, or anything that might get us in trouble with the fuzz. However, if you snap a great pic of an amazing babe interacting with a dumpster, well, you'll probably get our vote.

Contest will be held through the end of December 2010. For more information visit our contest page or check out our Twitter account for daily updates.

Happy diving!

One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure

calendar Posted on March 24th, 2010 10:53:12 AM

Dumpster diving. Not an Olympic event that China will be dominating any time soon, but it has become a popular hobby / lifestyle.

Seattle dumpsters are quite the hot spot for this "Going Green" trend and continue to provide brave dumpstranauts with a multitude of items to brag about. One man's trash is another man's treasure indeed. This dumpster diver speaks about his Seattle adventures.

Beach Cans Moment of Clarity: Why take your date to an expensive restaurant when you could go around the back to get your meals for free?

Many people are found looking through dumpsters to find all sorts of items including food. There are many food hot spots like Trader Joe's and Grand Central Bakery in Seattle. People have strategized weekly plans on what areas and what days of the week to retrieve their free edibles. Meet up groups are available on the web for people who want to find the hottest spots to collect.

We say bravo to you Sultan's of Sewage. Keep up the good work.

New York Designer Finds Fashion in Dumpsters

calendar Posted on March 4th, 2010 02:24:13 PM

Beach Cans has seen many different styles that associate with trashy, but this one tops it all. Say goodbye to conservative business slacks and blouses. The dumpster look has hit the runway scene.

New York DumpstersNew York dumpsters are apparently the next great source for fashionable apparel at affordable prices. In a scene that looks like something right out of Zoolander's "Derelict" campaign, Gary Harvey has created a line of humorous yet pretty stylish clothing from dumpster bound items pictured left.

We know all too well the amount of usable waste that a dumpster can house. Dumpster divers across the world have been utilizing waste containers for years for more than just clothing. We have to say, however, that this may the most mainstream appearance of the art since Elaine went digging through New York container in search of a bear claw with her soon to be super hero/slightly financially challenged ex-boyfriend.

Kudos Gary to a job well done.
