RE: Dumpster Diving Diary #9 | One Man's Trash Another Man's Treasure! ✔
THANK YOU for sharing this, we were just talking about the term "Free-gans" at our local shop that we troll before closing for the items that are about to hit the bin, often just costing pennies.
I also know of a community of women who dive for cosmetics and beauty items and tally thousands of dollars worth of product at a time, absolutely crazy what goes to waste. Cosmetics are bad enough, but it especialy hurts me to see living beings' lives going to waste in the bin.
So much awesome some information and lots to unpack here, literally!
Will be checking out trashwiki for sure- cheers! Happy diving!
Hey @dayleeo! More info about Freeganism. I've found so much different things but mainly been focused on food. New shoes, sport equipment, clothes, money etc
Good luck in finding some good spots where you live! :)
My dad used to find money ALL the time, I guess now that I think of it my intro was with him as a kid! We'd stop on the side of the road in front of people's houses before combined trash pickup days- the best thing we ever found was a metal detector haha I had a blast with that thing for years.
