Law enforcement, various types of private and corporate investigators, employers, ID thieves, just curious folks and others will pick through trash for different reasons. It has happened to me. Before shredders were invented I used to burn all my paper documents in my fireplace. Now I use a heavy duty shredder which cross cuts the paper.
Celebrities, politicians and wealthy folks have their trash picked. Some want to know what they eat, read. They even want their thrown away clothing and other personal junk.
