Is anyone here a dumpster diver like me?
I do it a lot, and recently have come to the realization that getting food from a dumpster isn’t actually disgusting, its amazing. Today I found a loaf of bread and a bag filled with rolls…both of which were actually really really good.
And last week I found all three of the Lord of the Rings books and The Hobbit.
Dumpster Diving is the best!!
So…post some interesting finds of yours, or, whatever, talk about dumpster diving!
I like to go.
Haven’t been much though.
I like to read about it on dumpsterworld.com too.
Your right though, taking food from it isn’t disqusting.
Especially now that it is getting colder, the meat stays frozen.
Where i live, the dumpsters are already dived.
Where I live if I go in the backyard witha bb gun the cops show up 5 minutes later asking, “uhh now son were you shooting construction workers with that there gun of yours?” If I went dumpster diving they’d arrest me for tresspasing, stealing, and bad oder.
eh.
i love to dumpster dive.
i’ve found a good amount of stuff.
the most amazing was two working sawzalls.
then i found a few sets of old 1910 copyright leatherbounds totalling over $400 worth.
they didn’t sell though…
I’m a dumpster feind. I like foods and bikes. yum. I got a pack of 6 red bulls yesterday after school.
i should go out more. found loads of neat stuff.
used to do it quite a bit… haven’t in a while now. I should start again.
I saw a while ago that there are people who call themselves Freegans, who get their food from waste thrown out at the back of restaurants and supermarkets. Dining in style for free!

Yeah, the food they throw out at supermarkets has nothing wrong with it, most of the time it’s just had its packaging damaged. The throw it out because they’re not legally allowed to sell it(I think) and to stop employees from slashing packets to get free food.
Some of my friends work at supermarkets and it’s amazing how much food is wasted just because someone stuck a knife into a box to far.
I’d love to go dumpster diving but alas, most of the dumpsters get locked to stop drunk homeless people from wandering around the back of their stores.
There was a group of people where I used to live who gave out free meals made from vegetables they found in dumpsters behind supermarkeds. The stores started putting locks on the dumpsters, but often bits of wire, paper clips etc. found their way into the locks so they couldn’t be opened the next day. Most stores decided the lesser evil was to let people dumpster dive.
i dont go dumpster diving.
though i do go to dumps every now and then. usually the ‘metal pile’ has a lot of good stuff, like old bikes which you can do up.
I dive now and then. In the city you can find some crazy stuff.
Found a defibulator in a hospital dumpster.
Found a few bulletproof vests a cop walkie talkie and a bunch of baseball bats.
The scrap metal pile at the dump is the best. Almost every time I go there is several bikes.
i curently have my drinning room table and one chair out of the dumpster. it is fun to see what people trash. 
In Soviet Russia, dumpsters dive YOU!
My nightstand and computer desk came from a dumpster. At the end of the school year some college students trash the contents of their dorm that won’t fit in their suitcase. Score!
Yesterday I dived the dumpster behind Wheatberries bakery, and there’s always like a bag of rolls or something, this time, there was a HUGE bag with like twelve loaves of bread and like thirty bagels and tons of scones and oh man just SO MUCH STUFF. I loaded as much of it into the car as I could, and, yeah. Now I have like twelve loaves of bread and bagels and scones!!
University of Idaho students are going home, meaning they’re throwing away EVERYTHING!! My friends and I went diving the other day, and came home with 42 packets of Ramen, a mini-fridge, a working digital camera, computer speakers, DVD player…lots of other stuff too. HURRAY!!
WOW i hadnt even heard of dumpster diving till now…
maybe i should get out more…
or maybe its australia…
