While I wouldn't advise being in dumpsters at all, if you're going to do so, I can make a few recommendations based on my experiences in dumpsters.
Bring a ladder of sufficient height inside with you. You might need two to retrieve the ladder inside.
Be fully clothed, ideally in puncture resistant clothing. Minimum that should be puncture resistant is footwear and gloves.
Wear an N95 or better. Beyond bacteria, viruses, and mold spores, it will protect you against small particulates.
Chemical resistant clothing is also advised.
Be very aware of not only where you step but also the rest of your body in relation to everything around you. Dumpsters can be very slick.
I really advise against this endeavor if you can avoid it. Not only are there significant hazards in the act itself, but there ar additional hazards that you might not be able to detect when consuming items you find in a dumpster. Even if it's marked for food only, many people disregard the designations of dumpsters.
