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.

Why Do I Dumpster Dive?

  • Bring awareness on how much food is wasted with the current system...
  • Free the food that is wasted and share the abundance...
  • Minimizing my costs enabling me to be less dependent on Fiat enabling me to power up...
  • Great regular exercise and a shit-load of good karma! ;)

Good work. Now, there are many methods to protect waste products and utilize in a very useful way. not only food even the plastic, glass animal waste all are not waste less .

Creativity, well done
Thanks for the pictures, amazing initiative
Nice post

Nice voting record. Amazing generosity.

Very wow!

All of this food was seriously pulled out of various dumpsters?? WOW!
I am grateful that it wasn't wasted. It makes me think about the amount of food I may be wasting without even realizing it. Thank you for bringing awareness to the Steemit Community showing us we can still make it a better place for us all @reko

it has indeed and trust me, it's just the tip of the iceberg...

It is really sad to see that people throw away so much good food!

More power to you. I am a frugal person but I just can't get myself to dumpster dive. That bridge is way to far for me hah.

Glad you are doing so well. Keep living the life you want!

First time I read about this experience in first person. I barely can believe that you can find this much food! This is what is wrong and needs to be changed. How many people are starving and we're throwing food away. This is incredible... I think in France it's against the law to throw away food, we need to follow this kind of thinking.

Have a great day and thanks for sharing your experience, it was trully amazing for me...

Cheers, Luka.

These hauls are amazing! Curious- how often are the meat and dairy products you find still fit to eat? Do you have to sift through what you find or is it a timing thing? i.e hanging around until the food is discarded and fishing it out immediately?

yeh as fast as possible same night as it is thrown, use your senses to decide what's good or bad especially important when it comes to meat...

Interesting perspective. There's a Listeria outbreak in South Africa at the moment, so think I'll hold out on trying to find a haul until it all blows over!

Any dental floss on your search?...hehe....that kale can be a bugger!

hehehe not yet unf!:P

Always makes me smile to see your dumpster diving posts, because as I've said, I dumpster dive in my own dumpster (for lost items). It's crazy the bounty you recover! Hopefully you don't have too much competition.

I still can't believe that people really throw those ingredients. People are being so wasteful these days! But it's good that you can utilize those and made people who read this post aware that food waste problem is real.
It is such an irony that there are starving citizen but on other side, there are people who are being wasteful.

yup but things are about to change!!;)
