Illegal

Before hoisting yourself into a dumpster to see what sort of things you can nab, you need to know whether or not it's legal to do so in the state of New York.

For the most part (there are some exceptions) it's okay to help abandoned baby wildlife that you find in your yard, but keeping them is a big no-no in New York.

Winter hit us quickly. You may not have been ready with your rock salt or heavy coats yet, but most likely, you already broke this New York State law with the cold.
