Dumpster Diving by Definition:

1. The practice of sifting refuse from an office or technical installation to extract confidential data, especially security-compromising information (‘dumpster’ is an Americanism for what is elsewhere called a skip). Back in AT&T's monopoly days, before paper shredders became common office equipment, phone phreaks used to organize regular dumpster runs against phone company plants and offices. Discarded and damaged copies of AT&T internal manuals taught them much. The technique is still rumored to be a favorite of the private investigation industry operating against careless targets.

2. The practice of raiding the dumpsters behind buildings where producers and/or consumers of high-tech equipment are located, with the expectation (usually justified) of finding discarded but still-valuable equipment to be nursed back to health in some hacker's den. Experienced dumpster-divers not infrequently accumulate basements full of moldering (but still potentially useful)

Information Diving:

In addition to offering useful items like food and clothing, dumpsters can also be a source of information. Files, letters, memos, phone records, photographs, IDs, passwords, credit cards and more can be found in dumpsters. This is a result of the fact that many people never consider that sensitive items they throw in the trash may be recovered. Such information, when recovered, is sometimes usable for fraudulent purposes including identity theft, however when the information is in the hands of a Licensed Private Investigator it can be the key to solving a crime, finding missing children, insurance fraud or locating a bank account in order to satisfy a judgement.

How to Capitalize on this Little Known and Undesirable Practice:

"I Dumpster Dive" is a subsidiary of Intelligent Ops International, Inc. This company has compiled a national network of Licensed Private Investigators that will eagerly (not really) do the dumpster diving for your case.
