Trespassing is what they'd charge you with if they were so inclined...not theft.
Some places don't care but the ones that do will usually give you a warning first. Just do your thing and don't worry about it unless they tell you otherwise. Or you could explain that you work at the shelter and ask them to set aside papers for you to pick up so you don't have to fish them out of the dumpster.
