Do you want to differentiate between a "dumpster diver" and a "waste dump scavenger" ? I don't have an answer for either one, but others may have answers.? - Moe, Oct 26, 2009

I Argentina we call them "cartoneros", because "cartón" is their main asset. But I'm sure this is only there. Wait for other answers.
