Typically, A Dumpster Isn't Considered A Storage Unit
-
If someone throws something away and you find it in a dumpster, can you take it? A couple in Florida thought so, and they took the wicker furniture from the dumpster by a Best Western hotel, cleaned it up, and resold it for $200. The hotel is now considering suing the couple, claiming that they weren't throwing the furniture away but had just put it there in a dumpster by an outbuilding while pool renovations were underway. The hotel is willing to settle for $200, but the couple says they did nothing wrong. Who's right? (WBBH-TV/Fort Myers)
