Razors in the Night, dumpster diving

[Bless]

I'm playing my way through Razors in the Night, but I seem to be stuck on the part where he's supposed to dumpster dive.  There's nothing else to do that I can think of, I've talked to the bum...didn't see what he said, but I'm assuming I just need to find a way IN the garbage!

Talk to old bum again about everything. Look at what he says. YES you have to get into dumpster (not pleasant). Try to take the boxes on the left of dumpster, touch dumpster and you will dive into garbage.  Then 'look' at garbage until you find something.

That should help you going for a while

The bum won't talk to me I touch the boxes and knox says he wants to leave them where they are

You HAVE to talk to the bum. Before that you go to movie theatre and find out that you might be able to get in for free to see horror film if you can find some food for the guy behind the counter.

Hope this helps you.

I'm having the same problem... I did all of these things before I even resorted to walkthrough/hints.  I have exhausted all dialogue with the bum and the movie guy.  Using the interact icon on the dumpster or any of the boxes won't do anything....

Ok, I restarted the game and only did the walkthrough direcitons, instead of everything i had done on my own (walkthrough things, plus much other exploration) and this worked.  I think there is a serious glitch in which Knox can't make the connection that the food is in the dumpster if you do this in the wrong order.  I haven't tried enough situations to say exactly where the problem is, but there is definitely something?  I think talking to the old man before the ticket taker might ahve screwd something up in my original run-thru.
