Dumpster diving

The practice of foraging in garbage that has been put out on the street in dumpsters, garbage cans, etc., for discarded items that may still be valuable, useful, or fixable.

Meet-up at the "Solidary Fridge" Initative


The meet-up was a real blast! A crap load of food was handed out and we cooked some tasty food for everyone to eat as well. I had a real nice time and we made some plans how we could make a big difference in 2018 to minimize the food waste here in Gothenburg, Sweden!

Thursdays Weekly Meet-ups:

Every week on Thursdays we meet up in the middle of the city to share the abundance of food. It's a great way to meet and support each other. We do it at the same time as the decentralized farmers market that I've initiated which adds more value for everyone!

Why do I Dumpster Dive?

Bring awareness on how much food is wasted with our current system!
Save the abundance of food that is wasted and share it with my network!
Minimizing costs enabling me to Power Up 100%!
Great exercise to bike and carry all the food!

I regularly invite friends over to share the abundance of food, been doing it for many years but now I make sure to introduce everyone to the Steem blockchain! :)

Congratulation and good you are doing a really good work!

ty @instagoodfood, NOM NOM NOM! :D

Congratulations, you are really a wonderful man

Rock on @reko -- pour me a juice, I'll be dropping in for a visit someday

You're very welcome @potplucker! Free all inclusive ***** service! ;)

This is just so awesome. I can't wrap my head around the amount of food that is wasted. We live on a homestead and we waste nothing! Everything has a use. Just think of all the hunger we can eliminate by not wasting food! It boggles the mind.

Impossible to grasp how the extent is being done before you've seen it with your own eyes! No one has to go hungry soon though good times are comin'!

That is a truly impressive amount of free food you are saving from waste stream.

Are there many other dumpster divers in your city (Gothenburg)?

Do the supermarkets make any effort to stop you getting their waste food? Or are you saving their consciences for them...

We're working on many levels at the moment but most stores are only greenwashing but we'll get it under control in 2018! :)

Lots of divers in Gothenburg!

Diving seems to be the way to go if you have access.

I have worked on a couple of community projects here in the UK where we have tried to get supermarkets to donate their waste food for free food projects.

They have generally refused quoting 'health and safety' issues (!!) and instead offer us vouchers to use in their stores.

Small independent stores have been fine.

Keep on diving...

Yup they have many excuses why not to give the food away but we're having more luck here lately! :)

Can't wait to see some of that street art. I am always amazed to see how much food you manage to rescue.

Yeah and I'm doing it all on @helenasweden old bike lol!
Last night was quite a challenge to make myself home with everything!! :D
Should mount the GoPro so you can see me in action...

I'd like to see that video.

Congratulations man ✌ u r a true inspiration 😍

Congratulation, Bravo, Exellent ----Amazing with a lot of emotions...
