    The Dumpster Brothers? Their last fucking name was Dumpster? Wild that that was just a common last name with no connection to trash for centuries

        Both words are used, so I understand the confusion; also, sprinkled with a little misspelling:

        Dumpster: The Dempster Brorthers, Inc.
        

        EDIT: Just read the Dumpster Wikipedia page. The Dempster Brothers’ had a truck called The Dempster Dumpmaster 😂

        On cold nights, we’d gather together around the Dempster fire and discuss how bad things were, we’d share drinks and bond as the we burned the garbage to stay warm on those cold nights. No one could turn away for those Dempster fires as they were amazing to watch. Yep Everyone loved watching those Dempster fires

      Wait until you learn about Thomas Crapper, who made major improvements to the modern toilet.

        And his name wasn’t the origin of the word crap. It was just destiny!

      It’s kind of indicative that the courts have bent to corporations on not generciding names for nearly 60 years. How long have dumpsters been so ubiquitous that no one even knew it was a brand? Very Berenstain Bears situation.

      I agree. If dump was a word before (I’ll have to check), then dumpster is a simple modification.
