If I knew where the scrap container was, I'd certainly sneak a peek  :-+

I have got a few things from the dump outside my college but I knew one of the "chief janitors" if there is such a position and he allowed me to grab the occasional thing. I got a Denon tape deck (working, sold for about £15), a Sony VCR (working with a jammed tape, easily fixed), a battery charger (had one cold joint) etc.etc...

In my university, there is an entire room (computer lab sized) full of unused/condemned equipment (unused, unneeded etc.) Lecturer says most of it will be chucked, he can't even give it to students or donate it. Sad.

Eh, I'm not sure I agree. That dumpster has an owner, and whatever's put in it is their property now. Trash isn't public property unless its owner specifically makes it public property by sticking a big old "Free!" sign on it, which they clearly didn't do. As much as I'd like to be able to take expensive garbage, I'm OK with something only becoming mine with the permission of its previous owner.

Many places have laws which state rubbish disposed of in some dumpsters belongs to the municipal authority. This is because waste can actually be valuable as scrap for them.
