Preferred term

dump digging  

Definition(s)

  • Dump digging refers to the practice of excavating old garbage sites. From beachcombing with metal detectors to digging through 18th-century outhouse contents, whatever the location, dump diggers share a common pursuit—unearthing items that people threw away in the past.
