I "stole" this plant from beside the dumpster because it looked

see below. Anyone? I'd say it's about 4 feet (120 cm) from dirt to
top.

It is a Cordyline, possibly C. fruitcosa. If it is C. fruitcosa, it
is a tropical that is a houseplant in most U.S. climates.
I don't think so. Cordyline fruticosa has softer, broader more erect leaves
and a more definite pink-red colour most of the time. I reckon Dracaena
marginata. I think they would not be distant relatives and probably enjoy
the same conditions.
