Sort of depends on the state. In the Palmetto State, there's a .25 cents a gallon grant so this stuff has a value now. Not sure if the grant is still going strong or not. So, no longer a business expense in S.C., but something of value.


Also, how in the world would a person be able to enter private property and take something which the taker would argue is "trash"? Isn't there a trespass at kick-off time? So, you would have a trespass and a theft of property. Some of those dumpsters are pretty big so not sure what the cut-off is from misdemeanor theft vs. felony theft. Plus, I cannot imagine a perfectly spotless grease swipe. Who cleans up the mess? The thief?
