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.

Thursdays Weekly Meet-ups:

We meet up on Thursdays in the middle of the city to share the food we've saved during the week. It's a great way to meet, connect and support each other. We meet between 6-7 pm at the same time as the decentralized farmers market that I've initiated!

Wow, your dumpster diving haul looks amazing. The last time I went dumpster diving, it was dark, I had to climb into a huge garbage bin and the items were all expired. Also a lot of businesses just dump their food along with trash. Also I was scared of getting caught the whole time!

Omg, thanks for the smile for the day. I LOVED "dumpster diving is like a box of chocolate" SO TRUE lol!!

Which do you think is better...steemfollower or steemengine? This is the first I have heard of steemengine. THANKS!! And I LOVE the pic of you and your dog!!

Thanks @steem-samiam! As of now I definitely prefer using SteemFollower but using both is even better!^^

Is it ecologic?

that's a lot of chocolate covered coffee beans, those things are like crack though, probably last you a week.

hehehe will give most away or I'll become a coffee bean! :P

You're back! I haven't seen your posts for quite a while. How are you?!

I was so hoping that when you used that modified quote that it meant you had gotten chocolate. Soo cool. You're going to be sugar-high for weeks! Hope all is well!

hahahaha so true chocolate with coffee is quite a potent combo hopefully I'll bring the whole crypto market with me!^^

I am absolutely appalled at the "waste" you have recovered. Why on earth won't they donate this to a food pantry instead of pitching it? THANK GOODNESS for people like you, and your wonderful project of reclamation and sharing! 💙

because the amount that is wasted far exceeds the need of the people in need and it would affect there profits considerably as the overproduction is out of control to say the least...

I'm so impressed by your hauls, always. I'll have to check out the Wiki...

ty, it's a great resource but some times it's not up o date in all locations buy anyone can update!

This is such an incredible initiative!
It's shocking to think about how much food is wasted all over the world every single day.

(your dog is so cute)

It actually took me about 15minutes to read through! Nice pictures... I like your beards and your dog hahahaha happy family !

hehehe thank you @segunreus! One big happy family indeed!^^
