One who takes or uses whatever is discarded. There may be a few reasons for this, & not all scavengers are homeless. Some do it because they dislike consumerism & refuse to buy into it. Others just scavenge because it's free stuff which would otherwise end up in a landfill or dump, & who want to save money. Other people scavenge because they refuse to pay retail; scavenging is one way they get what they want or need. A dedicated scavenger may dumpster dive & own a pickup truck or other vehicle for the specific purpose of transporting scavenged goods.
