The reason has to do with liability. Plus there is no obligation on the part of any company to give away their waste.

If you are not above dumpster diving, once it is in the dumpster it is considered abandoned.

You might want to fact check this. Dumpsters outside a store are private property & "dumpster diving" could result in a trespassing charge

Agree, you should check the laws where you live.

It's not likely you're going to get anybody to give you anything.
The laws are too strict, and you seem to be expecting them to seperate their waste just for you.

Even places that allow it require it to be cooked before feeding animals
