* A ''[[Get Fuzzy]]'' comic strip had Rob discovering Satchel taking a piece of trash out of the garbage can and spraying liquidized cheese spray on it, so that it "tastes better". Naturally, Rob is disgusted.

* Garfield eats an apple from a trash bag in [http://garfield.nfshost.com/1983/02/26/ this]{{Dead link}} ''[[Garfield]]'' strip.

** He tried to invoke it in [http://garfield.nfshost.com/1980/06/10/ this earlier strip]{{Dead link}}, but got disgusted by the smell of the trash can.

* In ''[[EarthboundEarthBound]]'', Ness could pick up hamburgers from trash cans early in the game.

* In ''[[Freefall (Webcomic)|Freefall]]'', Sam Starfall sometimes does this because his scavenger's digestion allows him to eat almost anything. He once even [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1300/fv01255.htm made shishkebabs out of garbage].

* Raccoons and bears usually portrayed doing this, which is usually Truth In Television.

* Many a ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' short begin with Sylvester looking through the trash as if it were a buffet, using a trashcan lid as a tray.

* In the ''[[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episode "Just One Patty", Squidward is desperately trying to get a Krabby Patty without anyone finding out, going so far as to say that he'll even eat one off the garbage. Sure enough, a customer throws away his patty and Squidward dives right in. [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|He ends up eating everything except the patty]].

* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Applebuck Season", due to [[Mondegreen|Mondegreening]]ing Pinkie Pie's requests for ingredients, Applejack makes a batch of muffins made out of chips, soda, lemon juice, and earthworms, which Pinkie nicknames the "Baked Bads". They hospitalized everyone who ate them, with the exception of Spike, who loved them. At the end of the episode, Applejack treats the other ponies to some apple juice, and Spike says he has the perfect thing to go with them: the Baked Bads, which Spike rescued from a dumpster.

* From [[Tom and Jerry: The Movie]], the duo's new friends Puggsy and Frankie da Flea offer them a buffet from a whole camaraderie of trash cans.

** This has even showed up in a number of [[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]] shorts.

* The "Freegan" movement, which believes in not wasting food, no matter what. Dumpster diving is a big part of this.
