first dumpster dive this month

[BizzleLuvin]

I consider myself a Freegan, among other things. Freeganism is basically economic veganism, its a method of challenging capitalism by the efforts to consume and buy as little as possible. Its the idea of reuse, reduce and recycle to the extreme in order to improve the social, economic, animal and environmental state of the world. and this involves, among many many things, living off the 'waste' or byproducts of the system. which involves dumpster diving or urban foraging in order to obtain food, clothing, household item, luxuries and enything else you can think of. so every thursday night a few of my friends and i go diving around the town, hitting up places such as grocery store and thrift store dumpsters. don't be fooled, if you know where to look, you can find 100% suitable, clean and useful items including food.tonight was the first dive i participated in this month. this is what we found:
from 2 grocery stores-
-about 7 pre-made lunch meat sub sandwiches, packaged and unopened. before the expirateion date
-1 unopened package of blackberries with a few bruises
-3 unopened celophaned watermelon halves
-1 sack of red potatoes
-about 3 unopened containers of fresh fried chicken, not yet expired.
-fresh pears, apples, green peppers, oranges, grapfruits
-3 unopened plastic containers of organic spinach
-1 opened package of easter assortment candies
-several packages of basil
-1 unopened package of prepared salad
-2 onions
-1 avocado
-a really cool scarf
from a dollar store-
-several cans of air freshener
-an unopened box of cookies (expired but edible)
-several shelves
-sunglasses
-4 boxes of slighty damaged tissues
-3 boxescrayons
-a picture-frame mirror, still in the wrapper
-easter wrapping paper
-plastic buckets
-tape
from a thrift store-( we thound several dozen of each item but took only a few things, there must have been a whole household full of goodies)
-about 10 belts
-2 pairs of shoes
-an old camera
-a box of Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Magic cards
-several luggage bags
-a few purses
-an air-tight jar
-3 champagne glasses
-2 mugs
- old magazines (for collages)
-sunglasses
-reading lamp
-spoons and knives
-2 unopened candles in jars
-a typewriter (to sell on e-bay)
-a pillowcase

I admire those kind of things. I'm vegan right now but it would be way hard for me to even try freegan. I've never even heard of it till now.

[BizzleLuvin]

you dont have to be freegan 100% of the time.

[mattks1]

i run a landscaping company and have to put up with that crap all the time. you know that is actually illegal right? the ppl that do it where i see it always make messes for me to clean up. with that being said, i love watermelon.

[BizzleLuvin]

^^^^^WRONG! unless the dumpster is locked or marked 'no trespassing' it is 100% legal. dont' be fooled, its legal, I assure you that i have indeed investigated this.
and a rule of thumb my group goes by is to never leave a mess. what you are dealing with is irresponsible, sloppy scavengers.

[Sweeney]

Eh...

Yeah I'd totally be snappin' pictures if I caught someone in the act of dumpster diving.

lol so true

[ValkyrieAg]

haha this is funny. There was a kid in my school that was really poor. His name was Homer. Him and his family would ride around town in a 80s chrysler minivan with a busted out back window repaired with trashbags and tape. They would make a stop at (i swear) like 35 dumpsters around town picking things out of trash. He wore a dallas cowboys shirt for like 4 years.

[The Figment]

There aint nothing wrong with a good Dumpster dive,Hell I've found some really nice stuff in the trash...

$3640 Cash...Thank you,not so attentive Harvard Student!!
Many sacks of stash,U.of Colo,Boulder,U.C.,Santa Cruz U.of O Eugene.

No Muss,No Fuss!! Good Job!

[The Figment]

One more thing...The Student Moving season is almost apon us,Last two weeks of May,At your nearest State Uni.!!

[hello3pat]

Yeah, I had heard that at most universitys at the beggining of summer you could find alot of paraphenailia in their dumpsters and other goodies, I have thought about dumpster diving. One of my freinds went dumpster diving at a best buy, found 11 ipods, he sold them all on ebay

[rebgirl420]

my aunt carolyne owns a mini storage and when people dont pay after a month your allowed to go into their storages and raid it. Man ive found some kick ass stuff in there. Like cd's, furniture, all kind of stuff.

[Markass]

that's like...I donno. I always see the bums digging in the trash in our town...do you have a job? cause it sounds like you're trying to do something cool and all, but you might be a bit better buying the food..like clean or whatever. that's what most people do.

[Markass]

my aunt carolyne owns a mini storage and when people dont pay after a month your allowed to go into their storages and raid it. Man ive found some kick ass stuff in there. Like cd's, furniture, all kind of stuff.

a lot different than digging in the garbage though...that's for sure. some people probably have cool shit in storage.

[rebgirl420]

oh yeah, I wouldnt dumpster dive...Im not an enemy of capitalism.

It's legal to go in a dumpster because it's owned by the state.

If you are caught trespassing, that's another story.

[Skrappie]

My apartment is about 80% full of used stuff. I currently live in a nice sized college town. I moved in when most of the students were moving out for the summer, i found some nice shit.

I plan on gaining all new furniture next semester and giving my current stuff to the good will. i wouldn't dive for food though, but thats just from idealism.:)

[thcbongman]

In the 'burbs, you could find really nice couches, and tables those rich folk want to throw away. Why buy a new couch, when you get an equally nice one for free if you look.

[jokeyjokejoke]

Climbing into a RUBBISH BIN and TAKING FOOD that, i assume, YOU WILL EAT. That's some repugnant shit dude.

[napolitana869]

I've always wanted to go diving. What's keeping me from doing it is a fear of not being able to get out of the dumpster. I know its irrational, but it still freaks me out. Last year after spring semester was over my friend found a really nice floor lamp. I think I might go with him this year and check the whole thing out.

[Nochowderforyou]

I don't see the harm in dumpster diving for old couches, furniture and stuff. That's how I got my first couch was outside a dumpster. Took it home, got it steamcleaned, and it was like new! My buddy is a welder, and he found 3 old BBQ's outside a place once. He took them home, fused the 3 to make one, and he had pretty much a new BBQ.

But food? No way! It's in the garbage for a reason, and even though it might be wrapped up still, it's still in the garbage, sourrounded by bacteria of other rotting things. That's nasty, very nasty.

Food and furniture at least you can wash and have cleaned, but food, bacteria dives itself into that food (wrapped up too) and I don't want to risk getting ill to save $2.99 on a watermelon.

[stinkyattic]

I got a bunch of HPS250 lights that way, no bulbs, so I just went and asked the construction crew where they were and they happily handed them over to me... 6 of them... all wrapped up, and they would have had to pay to dispose of them! wOOt.

[Reefer Rogue]

I don't desire material possesions enough to dive in dumpsters. I totally support your efforts though, whatever makes you happy (obviously without causing mindless suffering to others)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Where I come from, we call that poor.

And yes, now that you gave it a pretty name like freegan, I will be all over it.

Bizzle is the shizzle. Never let anybody tell ya different. This girly knows how to survive.

edited to say: I'm reminded of Mad Max, or Waterworld.

I watched WW twice in a row. Is that problematic?

[stinkyattic]

I watched WW twice in a row. Is that problematic?it was problematic that you watched it all the way through the first time... :eek: you weirdo

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I kinda thought that too. Hey Therapy! (sung to the tune of the Gin Blossoms "Hey Jealousy")

[BizzleLuvin]

i jsut realized that i've never told anyone outside my own close friends that i routinely raid dumpsters ,not even my own parents, i guess its a little embarrassing. but i have no qualms about telling everyone here.....

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Bizzle, relax.

i just like busting your little girly balls sometimes. I love you dearly, you seriously political hemp baby.

[friendowl]

hey bizzle you shouldnt be embarrased
fuck what everyone thinks
i got a job and i got cash
but i like the idea of what you are doing

it must be kind of fun to see what you are going to get

the food situation is good to know for when i become homeless
im going to eat like a king

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Here's what it is Bizzy baby, what you're doing is what I've done all my life, but I didn't have a PC reason for doing it.

I was just broke and did what I had to do.

So I get the giggles when I read your post.

But (and this is important) it BY NO MEANS DISCREDITS YOUR MISSION.

I believe in you.

[stinkyattic]

ooooh I just pushed you over da edge! green candy! mmmmmmm
i liked greenjeans response ^^^

[BizzleLuvin]

thanks guys, for the support. i get bent out of shape when folks dont agree with me.i dont have a job here, but the unversity supplies me with everything i need....and more. a universal freegan slogan is 'tithe what you dive', meaning 'donate what you find'. i can eat several time a day from the cafeteria and i ahve pretty much all that i need, so a lot of what is found goes to the local Food Not Bombs organization and to Freecycle or various campus goods trading networks. yeah, diving can be messy but its mostly good fun with a cause.

[madeline]

But the fucked up part of dumpster diving is many cities are passing laws against taking and using what other's throw away! Talk about asinine!

[hello3pat]

I watched WW twice in a row. Is that problematic?
I love that movie! Also me and some freinds are gonna probably start dumster diving

[smoke it]

idk, seems kind of scuzzy to me, but hell, to each his own.

[xcrispi]

Your fukd up man . I hope you get to live long enuf to live in Homers shoes for a day . Good lookin out for others B/L .
Crispi :jointsmile:

[Skink]

Come out by me and you will def get a huge bag of day old bread and rolls... the supermarket used to donate it every night but the foodbanks are now refusing it,,,so it goes in the can,,,these are the baked breads 3 and 4$ a pop...

[Nation_1ne]

Good on you, just be careful with food. They could have thrown it out due to contamination.

[Ae...]

I've raided dumpsters behind art stores and print shops before. Lots of really bitchen things in those nearly every time. Huge rolls of paper just waiting to be picked up...Quarter full tubes of paint, brushes, ink, you name it.

The best time to find other cool stuff is when a store goes out of business or something. Just beware of needles or glass. You wouldn't want to get that kind of surprise...

I'd be a bit skeptical about consuming the food though. I understand a lot of it is just discarded for no real reason other than maybe a few days until the printed expiration dates, but other times there may be another reason...

Man I really didn't mean to type that much. Oh well...

[Matt the Funk]

I'd try that once or twice, and if I liked it i'd do it again. But food? That's intense man. You always do intense shit.

[Skink]

I see no prob with it,,,I go to one store that sells the old and bruised vegg and fruit... I buy it cause most of it is expensive organic produce... I just bought 4 lbs of organic apples for 2.50 and they were going for 1.99 a lb... Like I said before,,,I watch the peeps fill big bags of bread and 5 minutes earlier peeps were buying it...

[Gatekeeper777]

When it gets tossed out it becomes public property.

I would never go redneck shopping.

[Skink]

I got me a double wide and a bedroom full of soda cans,,,aint bad in the winter but,,, da flys is quite thick in the summer...

Bizz is actually getting a message across,,,we waste to fucken much... you don't really know what you got till it's gone..

I'm very much involved with Food Not Bombs over here in Norfolk and a lot of the food we get comes from fine people like yourself. We know what to look for when it comes to finding out what's good to eat and what's not, so don't say it's all that disgusting. We know exactly what time they take the trash out and what we should take. It's good to see someone else invloved with the same shit I am, when I thought I was the only one on here. Keep up the good work!:thumbsup:

[Wintersweet]

Yeah, I've heard of Freegans before.
It's something I could never do, though. Foodwise, at least.
I know most of the time, the food's not bad when they throw it out, but once it gets in that dumpster where there's other rotting food...naw, I couldn't do it.

I am thinking about dumpster diving for clothes though.
And my best friend's older sister used to go diving all the time, that's how she would have Christmas presents for everyone.

Yay!!! FNB Rocks! I had a friend who did FNB in San Fran and the cops arrested them for using "Stolen" milk crates!! of all the stupid shit!

Dumpster Diving also keeps all that bulky crap outta of local landfills! and a lot of the clothes and shit that students throw away is easily resold on ebay!!

I belong to a website thats worldwide thats right up your alley.

freecycle dot org.
:thumbsup:

[BizzleLuvin]

I only grab food that is prepackaged and has not been opened or fruits and vegetables that can be washed, therefore reducing the risk of contamination. I have been diving for maybe two years and only once have I gotten sick from what I had eaten from a dive:
there used to be a little ceasars pizza place near my high school and after band practice I would head on over there and find whole pizzas still warm after they had closed. but once I found a ziplock bag full of green pepper slices. I LOVE GREEN PEPPERS! They LOOKED clean so I went ahead and ate them right there, without washing them. a few hours later, i was making camp in the bathroom with a serious case of the runs. i learned my lesson right away.
tonight i went to a vegan potluck dinner where I was served shepherds pie made from the potatoes we found. good stuff.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Why can't I find that post anymore?
NM, you quoting it is enough.
That is farked and mean. I'm fortunate now, I actually have the luxury of bitching about my weed being too strong. I can remember a day when I didn't have a pot to piss in basically. I have lived in my car with my dog, and made Ramen on my dashboard. And I was one of the lucky ones.

[TheFatKid]

meat rules vegetables drool! in my opinion of course

[Samwhore]

Bizzle I love you.

'Nuff said.

Dumpster diving is more fun when in rain boots.

[ValkyrieAg]

Well now. I didn't finsh that story. There is a difference between being down on your luck and digging out of dumpsters for 10+ years.

Yes, I have been so poor that I hadn't eaten for several days. Borrowed a friends truck (no money for gas), went out and shot me a deer and skinned that bastard. Sold the backstrap and bought some spaghetti and ate spaghetti for 2 weeks. But digging in the garbage is just low. I was brought up better than that and If my dad saw me do that, he would probably cry.

I understand that another mans trash is another mans treasure, I am the king of that with auto parts. I make ~500.00 a month selling/dealing 4x4 parts in the offroad community. I have alot of things that were once on the curb. (i go to *the* biggest univeristy in the US)

Now food? That is just being poor and lazy. Course this is from someone who is self sufficient enough to keep himself from scavenging.

[nightlight]

i do this when yale kids go home. they throw out so much good shit.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Valkyrie, I still don't get your percentage in making fun of Homer. He was a kid, not in complete charge of his own destiny. I hope he's a freaking genius CEO now, with the ability to buy and sell smug folks ten times over.

Failing that, I hope he's happy and peaceful, with a closet full of Dallas shirts.

[c of green]

never been in a dumpster,and wouldn't eat garbage food,but half my house came off the curb.wooo love free.(and recycling is great too:))

[poiuyt]

Have fun eating your garbage food while I eat my fresh, clean, bacteria free food.

[mattks1]

you know what, i double checked on this yesterday while i was working. the popo that i talked to said that once the trash hits the dumpster, it is then property of whoever owns that dumpster, such as GDS or whatever trash company you have there. i dont know about there, but my gov't doesnt pay to have dumpsters put behind Dollar General. and to think that it is resourceful to dumpster dive is a good way to make yourself reason with jumping into a recepticle for trash. for some reason this hits a nerve. i cant stand to drive down the road and see some redneck and his 2 kids in a station wagon with shit piled to the roof inside, pull over on the side of the road and start diggin through peoples trash. if you want it, you should have got a job and bought it to begin with.

[smoking habit]

you eat onions out of a garbage can? uhhhhhhhh.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Then your problem lies more with the knuckle who is making his kids trashpick than it does with the trashpicking per se?

Remember this phrase..."There but for the grace of God go I."

Good lookin out Mrs. G/J ,
This persons plain ole' weak sis . Look in the previous post by this Assclown . "I was raised better than that " Nottttttttt !!!!! Then what the Fuck were you doing laughing at Ppl. who were down on their luck ? Not just some random stranger either - someone you actually knew .
Your good ppl. Mrs. G/J.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Sorry, I'm agnostic.

And if there is a passage in the bible that says God approves of dumpster diving, I'm going to put it in my signature.
Billy, don't fuck with me. Replace God with the word Karma.

Hell, you know I'm not even Christian. Why would you pull that tactic on me?

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

"I was raised better than that "


See, that's the problem. People who are actually raised better don't say stuff like that about people who are struggling. But, as Flannery O'Conner would say, "bad manners are preferable to no manners at all."

If nothing else, it gives me an idea of who to avoid.

[mattks1]

:chainsaw:

[ValkyrieAg]

No, he is not a CEO. I can tell you *EXACTLY* where he is.
Carrizo Springs, Texas digging through the garbage just like his parents taught him. Do you see the trend here? Maybe if he would have went to school like I did he would have gotten into college like I did.

I went to *the* 15th poorest school district in Texas. However, my sister and I were able to work hard enough to go to college. Ignorance is not an excuse. You know why he is digging through the trash? Because that what his parents taught him. If you think that is "OK", then by all means. Jump that dumpster and eat what I throw away.

I don't understand why I am the villian.....just because I was taught to be resourceful and self sufficient.

Hey nightlight. My sister graduated from yale in 04. New Haven is *quite* the spot.

You are a cocky college douche and you need to not let your head get the best of you on this site.:S4:

[hello3pat]

just because I was taught to be resourceful and self sufficient.
That is was he was taught too, but to be truly self suffcient you have to do absolutley everything for your self. Just becasue you have a job that alows you to buy the nesecities and have some money left over does not mean you are self sufficient, you still realy on everyone else. You don't grow the cotton, you don't harvest the cotton or process it, you don't make the proccessed fabric into clothing. Think about it man, it is a complete allusion to think yourself 'self-sufficient'. We as a people sevuvie by this society no matter how small a cog in this machine, they are still a part trying to get along in life, and no onee in it should be treated like shit for how they were taught to go by society as a whole

[potsmokingnome]

I consider myself a Freegan, among other things. Freeganism is basically economic veganism, its a method of challenging capitalism by the efforts to consume and buy as little as possible. Its the idea of reuse, reduce and recycle to the extreme in order to improve the social, economic, animal and environmental state of the world. and this involves, among many many things, living off the 'waste' or byproducts of the system. which involves dumpster diving or urban foraging in order to obtain food, clothing, household item, luxuries and enything else you can think of. so every thursday night a few of my friends and i go diving around the town, hitting up places such as grocery store and thrift store dumpsters. don't be fooled, if you know where to look, you can find 100% suitable, clean and useful items including food.tonight was the first dive i participated in this month. this is what we found:

Is this an april fool's joke? ^^^^^^ LOL

[TX Girl]

Bizzle,
That's a hefty bounty y'all procured! You sure have a sweet heart.

I like the occasional dumpster dive, but not for a good cause, it's more sport now. I probably wouldn't eat any food I found cause I'm a big weenie but I love the thrill of the hunt.
I'm not young and poor anymore but its still fun :)

Valkyrie,
That guy certainly made an impression on you.

Mattsks- Would you rather see all that stuff in a landfill?

[ValkyrieAg]

I'll have to call my dad and bitch him out for teaching me useful things. No I am not lucky to go to college. I earned that. Anyone can go to college nowadays. Its just about how much you want to go.

I never said I had money left over. I struggle enough as it is to pay my rent. You assume too much. You assume I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I was not. Thats *exactly* why I don't tolerate lazy ignorant people who resort to digging in trashcans their whole life. Get some ambition. Get a fucking job. God gave you hands and a brain. Use them.

My whole family (hispanic) are examples of the value of education. It is hard enough to get along in this world being hispanic. However, my parents *overcame*. How? By persistence and never giving up.

85% of everyone here doesn't have the ability to be self suffcient. Plenty of people think their meat comes from the supermarket. I have slaughtered more steers than most people have eaten hamburgers. Don't tell me I'm not self sufficient because I will just prove you wrong.

So yes, I'll go out and take an animal, skin that bastard in my backyard and put it in my freezer before I ever go out digging in dumpsters looking for food. And if that makes me an asshole, whatever. Perhaps I have too much pride.

A fish out of a dumpster will feed a man for a day. Teaching a man how to catch and clean a fish, you feed him for a lifetime.

EDIT: no, never made an impression. I actually hadn't thought about ole homey until I read this thread. Reminded me exactly of his fat flea ridden broke ass digging through dumpsters. Pitiful and worthless and (lets not kid ourselves) always will be.

wow, I'm sorry bizzle for my april fool's joke comment. I'm not sure I'd ever dumbster dive unless I really had to. One of my last dealers use to Dumpster dive in vancouver, he knew all the best spots at all the best times. Its amazing what people just throw out. But I don't think I could even eat a pre packaged sandwich from the garbage, unless it was really necessary.....

[Jaerl]

I've used to do it all the time years ago, but at construction sites, we'd get good pieces of wood and make big treeforts. But once i stepped on a nail, it went thru my shoes into my food
Hurt sooo bad. SOOOOOO much blood, but i was OK. Just had to bike home using the heel of my food.

[Nightstar]

A few years back I use to hit local computer stores dumpsters, I've found some cool stuff mainly monitors and drives some worked some not.

I quit tho it felt embarrassing.

i can't believe that some people seem to be offended by another's hobby.I don't care if you eat dumpster food,I don't care if you go to Yale.......either way I'm just going to live my life.I would be willing to bet that the guy in the dumpster smiles alot more the the college kid,And i would bet that he is a better person(maybe not).Bottom line is ...if you can make yourself happy do it,and if it doesn't effect your life then who cares what another person does.(not talking about murder,rape etc. etc...)

p.s. question for the college guy.....if your life is so fulfilling(?)then why do you feel the need to get on here and bash anothers lifestyle?

[ValkyrieAg]

Im not bashing anyones lifestyle. I honestly could care less. I have my own problems to worry about which are bigger than "which dumpster should I jump in?". There are worse people in this world than dumpster divers. I would be lying if I said that I have never been inside a dumpster to retrieve something. But I am tired of people who are 'so down on their luck'. 99% of the time they are bitching just to bitch. Yes, hard times suck, been there done that have the t-shirt. The sun will come up tomorrow and its up to noone but yourself to change that.

I think its odd how someone can 'judge' me without ever knowing me or the person i was talking about. If you saw him in person and talked with him for 10 minutes, you would agree 100%. Everyone always did and probably always will. If you don't think its embarassing to get sent home in HS for lice and ringworm, then I guess we live on different planets.

Don't get me wrong, you don't need to be a CEO to be happy. I enjoy my (poor) college life and my pot. But when you don't put forth your best effort in *anything*. Well I just have no pity for that. My parents are/were both teachers and like I said, examples of the benefits of education. My sister now works on the *cheap* in D.C. as a lobbyist for immigrant rights. Not exactly the snobby type. She helps people who need it.

Yet, she went to the same fuckin school. With a little heart and persistence you can do anything you want. If your goal is to dig in dumpsters and fight fleas your whole life......then by all means go right ahead. But don't expect me to approve of it or get much respect from people.

I used to dumpster dive in the back of 4wheelparts for shocks/springs/good used tires. I used to be 'awww poor thing' just like everyone else. Then i grew up a little and realized that noone in life is looking out for you but your own self. I am not afraid to voice my opinion. Life is hard. Learn some skills and use an ounce of motivation (whatever strain you prefer) you won't need to dig in dumpsters.

People put bodies/feces/diapers/rotten food/dead animals in dumpsters.
It gets to the point where it is no longer a question of lifestyle, but rather a question of health and cleanliness.

But, as I said before, I don't mind if you are diving for someone of value. Hell, if its worth it, I'll HELP you. But if you are so broke that you cannot eat, i will PERSONALLY buy you a sandwich and a soda or Personally teach you how to catch and clean wildlife so you can have a lifetime of free/cheap food. Your hands and a little willpower are all the help you need.

Again, I was never bashing anyone. Just giving my opinion which I am entitled to. I think i've said all I can say.

[c of green]

well said.

thanks c. I really am not a bad guy. My very first post was a little crass (sp?) and served no purpose but for shock value i do admit.

Now go back -n- read everything you've posted in this thread and count how many times you've contradicted your self w/ just the last post college boy . You make no sense at all , so just quit . Next time dont make such an asshole outa yourself -n- you wont have to sit and try to defend your own stupid logic . No wonder you have your rep turned off , your a professional Asshole . LMFAO

[xcrispi]

Hey BizzleLuvin ,
My appoligies for Hijackin / Flamin on ppl. in your thread . Im not usually like that . I believe in helping ppl. in any way humanly possible and applaud you for your kind works .
You are due much peace and good karma .
Crispi :jointsmile:

[xcrispi]

How does dumpster diving help others? Do you give the food and stuff you find to other people who can't afford food? In that case, I am even more against the idea. Why not just go buy FRESH stuff to give away, instead of scrounging through a dumpster for it? I'm sure if they've no other way to get stuff, the people you're helping can go dumpster dive for the same half rotten apples or potatoes.

Once your old enuf Billionfold-
And you have some of the life experiences some of us older members have like Mrs. G/J and myself , you come back n give us all a holler . huh . You live w/ mom -n- dad son . Until your out in the real world and have to fend for yourself everyday , muchless when times are tight , you'll never even begin to understand .

1. = Why not help ppl. regardless of the source . Try it sometime ya brat . You'll feel good inside , and it was free !!!

2. = Your 2nd. question was already answered by B/L themselves . READ the whole thread !!!!

3. = "Why not go buy fresh" ? If you even began to realize the heinous waste we piss away every year that could help ppl. instead of sitting in a fuking landfill / why not help your fellow man ? It doesn't always have to cost you money to help out , or are you worried about writing it off on your taxes ?

4. = "I'm sure if they've no other way to get stuff, the people you're helping can go dumpster dive for the same half rotten apples or potatoes."
Once again read the whole thread !!!! The mentioned food was in wrapped containers , i saw no mention of ppl. eating rotten apples or potatoes .

5. = You need to come to Detroit next sunday and wrk w/ me at the Salvation Army Churchs soup kitchen for Easter Bro. You need to see how the other half lives , for real . You might even feel good about what you've done .

It's legal to go in a dumpster because it's owned by the state.

If you are caught trespassing, that's another story.

Yea the trespassing is the only thing they could bust you for. I've been dumpster diving b4 it was fun. Sadly I live in an Apt now so no room to bring cool shit anymore.

[tuscani]

i mean...i have taken cool shit from dumpsters before....but taking food and eating it? there is probably a reason it is in the dumpster. you are probably eating recalled food and shit that might have certain bacterias....when i worked at publix we would always end up dumping suspected bad foods for our customers safety, have fun eating it lmao, just natural selection at work : \

[halfassedjediknight]

man if i want something ill buy it.

i aint diggin through nappy trash.

have you smelled trash water? jeeeez.

I'm sure if they've no other way to get stuff, the people you're helping can go dumpster dive for the same half rotten apples or potatoes.

yes, i do give away the majority of food and dry goods I find, mostly to Food Not Bombs, thought they usually only take food that has been directly given by a company, or to freecycle or to local trading networks.

i do this because it makes me feel better knowing that in a society where we produce, consume, buy and want much more than we actually need and use, i am helping to reduce the amount of perfectly good, useful items that may end in a land fill, that someone worked hard to produce. waste not, want not. not everything that ends up in the trash is actually trash because. we are so disconnected from the actual means of prouction when it comes to the products we buy.
take a book for example, first you need an author who toils for months and years to write a novel, get it edited by an editor who makes a living from this, find a publishing company that hires people to publish books. the paper in that book comes from companies that hire people to cut down trees, take them to a plant where other people work to create paper. these people earn a living from cutting down trees and creating paper. someone is hired to ship that paper, from a company that works hard to transport and maintain it, more people making a living. then somoene takes that paper and prints it and binds it in a book, more people making a living. then that book is transported by more people to more retailers. those retailers work hard to sell you that book, make a living. then somehow that book which took thousands of men and women, thousands of dollars, thousands of man hours, ends up in the trash. paper, people, money, labor, trees, the hopes and dreams of the people working to create a seemingly disposable book are lost. reclaiming that book takes back everything that these people worked for.( now the rub is the money that is lost in the process of reclaiming the book, it was free for me. that's one of the flaws of merchantile capitalism, but thats another thread (inject controversy here).) anyway, would you rather see that book in a landfil, not serving the purpose it was so tediously created for, or would you rather see me, a dumpster diver, making use of all the man hours that went into that book???? the same goes for food. WASTE!!!! we live in a capitalistic, disposeable society. i'm tired of it and I am making my contribution, though small, to fight waste.


thanks those of you who see the logic behind this. it's not so much about being poor. i am certainly not. i come from a white, surburban middle class family that always provided me with the things I needed. I do it because it's all circular. I give away about 70% of what I dive, the rest i consume, cause thats what these things were meant for.
diving is fun, too. after most dives, my friends and I usally hit the bong or boxed wine. its a great way to bond and build humility, to experience the end of the consumer spectrum, which is so very often hidden. guys, trash isn't so scary. if you can;t get out of your comfort zone in your plush little worlds of security and apathy, I am glad I can. trash is inevitable, but we can do something to resuse and reduce it and help people and the world in the long run.
it's not for everyone, you aren't abligated to do anything about these problems I see everyday. I am a hardcore activist, if you havent noticed. someone has to do it. and I am willing and ready to fight and work towards a goal. if it grosses you out, thats your problem. until we can stop our bad habits of over consumption and depletion of resources, I will keep diving. it makes me feel good, its a lot of fun, and it is indeed helping a broad specturm of people.
if you dont agree, stay home and keep wasting. i'll be there to clean up after you slobs.

[ValkyrieAg]

I never contradicted myself once. Not one single time. I have a position (which i defended 100%) on the issue and I am entitled to that. You just assume too much. You assume that because I don't eat food out of the garbage that I hate homeless people. No. I just don't like lazy people and don't understand the logic of digging out of a public trash dumpster when everyone who can climb in a dumpster is perfectly capable of feeding themselves. Its not a love/hate thing. Like i said before. Its more a public health issue than anything else. I hope noone feeds me some mashed potatoes and says later...."oh i picked it out of the trash".

Yes we as a people waste *alot* of food. We use alot of things that we don't need. I wholeheartedly agree. I really dislike the amount of napkins that places give you. I don't eat like a pig....so why should i require 5 napkins? I've even been to places that will put the napkins in a little paper pouch. Thats just stupid and a waste.

But, alas growing up.....I learned you eat what is on your plate because there are people starving in africa. And my fatass doesn't waste food. Guarantee you that.

Im glad billion can appreciate the lunacy of digging food (of all things) out of a dumpster. Personally its a pretty straightforward call. Its not about politics or who hates who or who is spoiled or......Im just calling it like I see it.

Like i said, if you can climb in a dumpster, you are physically perfectly capable of hunting/gathering.

Now if you find a bald 35" swamper in a dumpster....hold my beer because its getting tossed in the back of the truck.

[ValkyrieAg]

Btw, a fresh head of lettuce looks exactly like a head of lettuce that is ridden with e-coli.

Maybe yall live in different areas, but if you've ever smelled a dumpster festering in the texas heat.....you wouldn't eat anything out of it either.

And crispi......rep? Who gives a fuck about rep? I barely even know what that is much less know how to turn it on. I'll take a look at it see if i can change it so you can leave me a dirty message.....as if I gave a damn.

This site is great, but people get crucified for not thinking a certain way.....perspective is everything i suppose.

[Skink]

Hey BF I don't think anyone questioned your compassion so don't take to much offence...


It is hard for youth to understand this and I applaud you Bizz for your common sense and effort... This kind of logic is more understood by older,,,I call "Old school train of thought" were you raised chickens and at times only had corn meal and made dinner with it... it pains me to throw perfectly good food in the trash when I know peeps would be blessed to have it... I feed what I can to the animals,,,it not good to give them bread and stuff but if I got a pork chop going to hell at least the crows will eat...


I see all this stuff as waist of perfectly good food... Heck,,, I bought Green peppers that were on their way out and made some delicious Chicken cacciatore last night... I paid a low price and the next step for those peppers was the dumpster...

I think peeps are confusing what Bizz is doing with a image of a derelict in the streets of a major city... Although as small and insignificant to the scheme of things this may seem it is the principle and that counts more than peeps will ever think or maybe know...

I'm done now...

[ValkyrieAg]

I never dissed anyone personally in this thread except for ole homey (who can be sure he even exists?) isn't even here and who can care less. Hell, he would probably agree with me. I wasn't even talking directly to bizzle. She can dig things out of the trash and feed it to the general public if she wants. I just know that I won't be one of the 10 people dead from e-coli. All I can say is be careful and good luck. I never personally attacked you crispi, but you called me out for my perfectly legit argument. But I don't hold grudges so i don't find it to be a big deal eitherway. I'm not trying to change your position or recruit you for my anti-dumpster club.

You pressed for my opinion. I gave it. No hard feelins.

[BizzleLuvin]

listen guys, i'm just like any of you.
i take showers every day. i make love to my significant other, i brush my teeth twice a day, i go to college and get good grades, i wash my clothes, i smoke pot every damn day, i shave my legs avery day and i like to dance. i go bowling on the weekends and i paint my nails. i ride my bike with friends and i take various psychadelics from time to time

i'm also a pretty crazy activist. yeah, i'm crazy in that respect....i take pride in it.i got to a different club meeting every day of the work week, United Greens, Environmental Students Association, Students for a Democratic Society, Youth for Socialist Action, Saling club. i go dumpster diving weekly, i go to protests, i banner drop, i stand on the corner of camden ave and college ave protesting for peace every damn sunday, i write to my representatives and i lobby, i speak my opinions loudly and i imagine a better society. i recycle and compost everything, i eat and buy organic, i am a vegetarian. i donate money to countless organizations, i volunteer my translating skills at free medical clinics.....i do a lot, let me brag for a moment. in doing all this, i am improving society in a small way.

and i don't hunt animals. that's cruel. humans can live without meat with modern advances in food. if you eat meat, that's okay....its your choice. if you hunt and can provide for yourself your own means of food, thats great...keep at it but dont go eating meat from farmed animals, thats counterproductive.

you may not agree with me. you may think i am a dirty hippy. but that doesnt matter. what matters is that my filthy dumpster diving escapades are indeed helping YOU, yes YOU and the rest of this disappointing society. you dont need to go dumpster diving. but just using less napkins and giving that homeless dude your spare change is not enough, its NOT ENOUGH! being responsible means doing more. i've dedicated a good part of my life to making up for the lack of irresponsible humans out there by going to the extremes to improve society. you can't just sit around and bitch, DO SOMETHING! (i'm only 19, surprise).

anyway, i find a lot of you disappointing. i'll die knowing that i've contributed significantly to society. the rest of u standing idly by....have fun being useless.

No hard feelings in the least bro. Skink was able to communicate some of the points i couldn't in a nice way . My whole prob. came about because of you kikn ppl. when their down . You were even man enuf to correct / rectify your comment . Laughing at Homey was wrong .

The whole issue isn't about food , it's about clothing and other things that can be found via. the junk that are needed for normal everyday life . You youself even said 35in. swampers in the junk are fair game . It'd have to be a Bogger before it go after it though .

I've never done this, but where I live there's an underground car park.. I was going out one day, on my way to take my PC to my bro's to see if he could fix it, and I saw a brand new moniter and a fairly new PC that someone had left there, obviously to get collected by the trashmen.. Well, I'm using it now until I figure out how to fix my other one :)

[stinkyattic]

Wow I haven't stopped by this thread for like a week... geez...
If I may...

Dumpster diving might not be everyones cup of tea but having an environmental conscience is something we can all respect, I hope...

It's definitely in our best interests as a species to be aware of the waste that our society produces- it's not a sustainable way of life, and people who make some attempt to decrease the amount of that waste in even a small way don't deserve mockery, they deserve a second look where we can then say, yeah, that DOES make sense....

BTW I really respect the food not bombs crew, and similar groups that try and make best use of what the rest of us don't want.

I mean, yeah, it would be awfully nice if the homeless got a bit more dignity than being fed what would be considered trash... but... it's a great start. Especially since the phenomenon of homelessness is really strongly tied to a society that has thrown aside its agrarian roots, as you can see in the argument that ValkyrieAG was involved with- where it IS possible for some people to procure their own food traditionally- but the urban poor simply don't have that choice.

Anyway Ima go hug a tree now.

i will check borders on my next outing.unfortunately most my big stores have crazy enclosed dumpsters that i cant get in.....wasted a little gas checking though.

and stinky you had better be careful which tree ya hug,some are not very social.and some too social....might give ya an itch:)
can't hug any trees in my yard; they all have poison ivy vines in them. it's good though, the neighbors would think i was a dirrrty hippie if they saw that.

my old boss used to have this bumper sticker that said, 'hug a logger.. you'll never go back to trees'. hahahaha

[BizzleLuvin]

SO last week we went diving again, but had to cut it short as I had a social gathering involving Jager and maryjane to attend to. we gathered a bunch of office chairs and some clothes from goodwill thrift store. as we were finishing up, someone rolled by in car, claimed he was from the store and yelled at us 'go home, this isnt a free-for-all'. HAHA, you sir are mistaken. Dumpster diving is in its very defininationa free-for-all.
anyway, we have decided to store all of our findings for an end-of-the-semester Free Store on campus brought to you by the Students for a Democratic Society. It should be successful.

[lagstronaut]

Wow thats quite the score :D How many people do you go dumpster Diving with? and have you ever been caught dumpster diving? and if so what happened?

[whitestalkslongwalks]

that's like...I donno. I always see the bums digging in the trash in our town...do you have a job? cause it sounds like you're trying to do something cool and all, but you might be a bit better buying the food..like clean or whatever. that's what most people do.


i'm kind of surprised the conformist vibe coming from responses to this thread in a forum dedicated to cannabis. OP, good shit man; as long as you leave no mess, i think that's great.

OP, do you climb by any chance? i noticed the headlamp. in the "dirtbag" (excuse the expression) climbing community, dumpster diving is an art

[whitestalkslongwalks]

i jsut realized that i've never told anyone outside my own close friends that i routinely raid dumpsters ,not even my own parents, i guess its a little embarrassing. but i have no qualms about telling everyone here.....

but why do you have to LABEL yourself? give yourself a name like "freegan". can't you just be you, and you do what you do? i feel it's an epidemic these days in America that people, mostly young people, have a compelling need to label themselves, but themselves in a box, and belong to a group. it just rubs me the wrong way; and that's my two pennies

i like to say "undefine your boundaries". isn't labeling/dividing the very thing that's causing devision and strife in our world? anyone, i'm done; many happy dives to ya.

[BizzleLuvin]

Wow thats quite the score :D How many people do you go dumpster Diving with? and have you ever been caught dumpster diving? and if so what happened?

i go every thursday with a group of 2-5 people. i started diving/freegan lifestyle in high school and I have been 'caught' twice. dumpster diving is legal as long as there are no locks or 'no trespassing' signs around the dumpsters. first time i was caught, i was peering into a bin behind a bread store where I had usually been insanely successful and an employee walked out and asked me to leave. the second time was the same, but behing a thrift store with a few other people. if i am asked to leave, I do.

You seem like a wonderful person :) If there was more people like you the world would for ure be a better place, and I'm not just basing that statement from this one post, or thread, I'm basing it off all the posts of your you have wrote :D keep up the good work Biz

good question. i label myself cause like you said, i am compelled to. i am many many many more things than 'freegan'. being 'freegan' is just a summation of a lifestyle choice and behavior. like being a jehova's witness. and also because otherwise i'd be called a bum.

last thing: i think buying used stuff, or finding it, or giving it away (folks, FREECYCLE kicks assssssssssssss!!!!) is great, and also a mindset that is understanding of the wonderful planet we abide in

this throw-away culture is really terrible. things not built to last anymore. people don't get things fixed, sometimes not even cleaned; just throw away and get a new one; it can't go on; our planet is too beautiful and wondrous for us to let ourselves fuck it up

[whitestalkslongwalks]

good question. i label myself cause like you said, i am compelled to. i am many many many more things than 'freegan'. being 'freegan' is just a summation of a lifestyle choice and behavior. like being a jehova's witness. and also because otherwise i'd be called a bum.

great answer


i feel we could chill, man; good vibes you give off.



me, for example; i might call myself a "christian" because i believe the bible. but no one's conception of what that word means (nor my own) can encapsulate me

[BizzleLuvin]

You seem like a wonderful person :) If there was more people like you the world would for ure be a better place, and I'm not just basing that statement from this one post, or thread, I'm basing it off all the posts of your you have wrote :D keep up the good work Biz

thanks, you flatter me. but this is why i do these kinds of things, to make the world a better place. people should try it some time. i'm making up for those who sit idly by, wasting wasting wasting

[potsmokingnome]

Yep it makes me sick in this day and age when we need to recylce, reuse, and reduce the most. All we seem to be doing is making inferior products, that are more exspensive to fix then just throw out and buy a new one. We need better qaulity products on the market! Not the junk that is sold now a days!

I must confess I am one of those people who waste, I don't even recycle too much, But I'm starting to think I need to change that in a major way!

well i'm only nineteen year old girl. i'm still developing my identity and these labels give me a foundation. being yourself is hard when you havent exactly figured yourself out yet. labels are bittersweet

[whitestalkslongwalks]

thats pretty cool, its amazing that you can find some sweet stuff in dumpsters,, like the ipod story, and the car and shit. thats cool/

gotta say that ipod story is pretty darn hard to believe; circuit city sells old stock on ebay, not best buy? that's the score (or the tall tale) of a lifetime


as for me: lots of my furniture (heck almost all of it) is used, much of it found by or in dumpsters,

on another level it kills me when folks go to target and buy some pressboard ikea-ripoff crap furniture, when they could go on craigslist and get a high quality solid wood piece for half the price. tomorrow i'm picking up a "kiosk" for $20 from a lady, solid wood, it will be my veg cab

You kick major ass, I'd love to get high with you one day! :D

[BizzleLuvin]

wait....iPod story? did i miss something?

[whitestalkslongwalks]

i think that would work if everyone was giving, charitable, and communal. heck, everywhere in the world is a blur between communism and capitalism. understand that when i say "communism" i mean the ideal, theoretical idea of having everything in common, everyone helping each other. "communism" as it has been used by countries such as russia and china, is just a farce, an excuse for oppression; a critical distinction

i've gotta say though, as much as i'd love to abandon capitalism (and hope to do so to some extent, living with friends and fam. in a communal, semi-agricultural fashion), i think that capitalism is the most feasible way for folks to have a high standard of living (and by that i mean good food, water, health care, and some comfort, not shitloads of fucking hummers) in this world of imperfect folk.

still, i admire where you're coming from

[BizzleLuvin]

yeah socialism and capitalism are unfortunately one of those ideals that are genious yet have very little hope in aplication to our sociey nowadays. capitalism has its benefits but at the same time has severe drawbacks. i'd just like to see people learn from the mistakes of capitalism and take from the ideals of communism and socialism to create a more responsible economy and way of living. it is possible. abandoning capitalism NOW would indeed be catastrophic, but that doesn't mean we can't change how we run. and this is why (among other things) I dumpster dive. why i would love to live in a socialist utopia, i dont see it in my immediate future but I DO see folks re-thinking our economy and looking into other alternatives, gradually making small changes.

[whitestalkslongwalks]

you know what, i double checked on this yesterday while i was working. the popo that i talked to said that once the trash hits the dumpster, it is then property of whoever owns that dumpster, such as GDS or whatever trash company you have there. i dont know about there, but my gov't doesnt pay to have dumpsters put behind Dollar General. and to think that it is resourceful to dumpster dive is a good way to make yourself reason with jumping into a recepticle for trash. for some reason this hits a nerve. i cant stand to drive down the road and see some redneck and his 2 kids in a station wagon with shit piled to the roof inside, pull over on the side of the road and start diggin through peoples trash. if you want it, you should have got a job and bought it to begin with.


are you privileged? cuz i find this sort of thinking despicable; i am a privileged white kid from a safe, clean, middle class community. i've never wanted for anything. but i understand that i'm lucky, and i'm grateful, and i try to have some compassion for all the folk that didn't have all the shit that i did and still do. don't be so quick to judge. you don't know someone's situation. you might have talked with that "redneck" and found them to be a very soulful person, dealing with hard times.

Sorry, I'm agnostic.

And if there is a passage in the bible that says God approves of dumpster diving, I'm going to put it in my signature.



blessed are the divers, for they shall inherit the forgotten riches of the unsatisfied

working on it :) trying not to post, but too much good stuff here ;)

[BizzleLuvin]

keep posting dude, you agree with me so therefore I like you. HA!

[whitestalkslongwalks]

i gave up around page 4 when it gets angered

anyway, good luck; it's easy for me to be cynical. to think that the world can't change. that's the kind of thinking that traps us, to think we can't make a difference. it's the kind of thinking that has created an overpowered government, and a pliable, controllable base of consumers.

it never ceases to amaze me how we can bicker about whether someone else is doing the best possible thing or not, when we do nothing. trying to help other people, that's admirable no matter what.

a little love goes a long ways. it spreads, but unfortunately so does hate. we define our world.

i dont jump in garbage cans to look for shit

[surreys princess]

well well.....

though i think it is great you are who you are biz, i find it a bit nasty if i may say to label others who dont think and do what you do..several times, you have said people who dont do this, are sitting idly by, and i believe you referred to us as useless as well....

i do not go into dumpsters, nor would i ever..but i do recycle..i do not waste...i do not take bags from the grocery store..i do donate to charities...i do my share...i do shop at second hand stores..i try to not support many of the big corporations and try my best to support mom and pop stores..so to say we sit idly by is almost rude...and i almost found it offensive...

you are just as guilty as the people who do support capitalism and such when you label others who arent as "good" as you, and demean them...i am sorry...

you go ahead and keep doing what you are doing....it is fabulous..but try to stop judging others who dont share your same beliefs, and if you cant, at least use some tact about it...

[BizzleLuvin]

oh no! its back!

and i apologize for offending anyone, I'm steadfast in by beliefs but i never called anyone useless for not dumpster diving, i admitted that you don't have to do it. but i am really disappointed by folks that sit around and complain but do nothing about it, there are so many opportunities for action... can we please lay this thread to rest? i am really really tired of arguing. once again, if I offended you, I'm sorry. and if you are offended, please get up and do something

[Mohksha]

Sweet! How did you get into the dumpsters at big stores like Best Buy? They are all locked in the town I live in.

[Psycho4Bud]

Go around the rich neighborhoods early in the morning on garbage day. I used to work on the garbage route back when I was in my 20,s and the stuff they'd throw out was insane! Brand new shit with the price tags still on.........crazy!!

Nice way to bump up the porn collection too.:D

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[nightlight]

dumpster diving is basically how i get by. we hit up trader joes and odwalla daily and always end up with enough food to feed an army, so our food not bombs always rules.

[fatsackville]

PART 2




have you ever been caught dumpster diving? and if so what happened?

yeah they check to see if you are on dope and if not they leave you alone : )
UNLESS YOU MAKE A MESS---DONT MAKE A MESS WHEN DIVING ITS GOING TO RUIN IT IF DIVERS DONT START DOING THIS RIGHT



But food? No way! It's in the garbage for a reason, and even though it might be wrapped up still, it's still in the garbage, sourrounded by bacteria of other rotting things. That's nasty, very nasty.



I AGREE : ) BUT there are exceptions like the ham, or take and bake pizza, my little bro used to call the take and bake pizza place like 20min before they closed and place an order, then he would wait untill they closed and because he never came to but it they just toss it in the trash, all wrapped up and everything
so fresh that the dough hadnt even rizen



I was brought up better than that and If my dad saw me do that, he would probably cry.

I understand that another mans trash is another mans treasure, I am the king of that with auto parts. I make ~500.00 a month selling/dealing 4x4 parts in the offroad community. I have alot of things that were once on the curb.


my dad is proud of my dumpster finds : ) i showed him about the lottery ticket thing and between us we have found probably 3 or 4 grand in winning tickets that people threw away over the last 10 years or so
and auto parts and tools : ) yeah dont even get me started on all the good parts and tools i have found



Sorry, I'm agnostic.

And if there is a passage in the bible that says God approves of dumpster diving, I'm going to put it in my signature.

THERE ARE QUITE A FEW THAT SAY NOT TO WASTE, finding something that your fellow man is about to "waste" and making good use out of it for youself can only be a good thing



How does dumpster diving help others?

well for starters it saves space in our landfills but it also helps the economy, anything that can be pulled out of a trash can and sold has value to just let it be trashed destroys a bit of value and value=wealth




My whole family (hispanic) are examples of the value of education. It is hard enough to get along in this world being hispanic. However, my parents *overcame*. How? By persistence and never giving up.


sounds about right, there was a big thing on tv the other day saying how hispanics were responsible for 60% of the things being bought in my area (socal) but they were responsible for 75% of the waste going into our dumps


the thread has been ressurected! hahaha!
TONIGHT I'M GOING DIVING AGAIN! wish me luck, its gonne be in the low thirties tonight. we will probably be especially lucky at Borders, they had a clearance sale last week. can you believe they throw out BOOKS?!


yeah i used to live near a barnes&noble and a comp usa they shared a pair of dumpsters i got lots of books and computer parts from them : )



you know what, i double checked on this yesterday while i was working. the popo that i talked to said that once the trash hits the dumpster, it is then property of whoever owns that dumpster,.

some places have passed local laws against it but its still legal most places, the reason it is is bacause the COPS want it that way.
once they make it against the law THEY NEED A WARRANT TO SEARCH YOUR TRASHCAN, BUT AS LONG AS DUMPSTER DIVING IS LEGAL THEY CAN LOOK IN YOUR CAN TO SEE WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN SMOKING AND I CAN LOOK IN YOUR CAN FOR STUF I CAN USE OR SELL : )


im also an avid metal detector/treasure hunter/ gold prospector i just bought a whites mxt ($800) and i plan to find more with it then i spent on it
i have about another $500 on prospecting stuff and i have only found about $100 worth of gold so far but thats just because i need to get out and do it more ITS HARD WORK
so is dumpster diving

ITS EASY TO DRIVE BY A PERSON IN A DUMPSTER AND CALL THEM LAZY
BUT THEY ARE NOT THE ONE SITTING ON THEIR ASS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WITH NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN JUDGE OTHERS

F-YOU -GET-A-LIFE

[WEsmokeED]

oh my god the thread is back.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

I think it's interesting, but not enough to read 7 pages :wtf: lol
It's cool that you "fight" for something you believe if you're a Freegan. Actually doing something active to make efforts of change.
On the whole imo it will never work, purely because the large majority of the population are not broad enough minded to see why it would do good and wouldn't consider being vegan.
Personally I wouldn't, although I think it's admirable to be a hardcore Freegan.

[Old Stoner]

Damn, the first post sounds like something straight from Abbie Hoffman's "Steal This Book." Google it - most of the things in it are outdated, but it is funny to read what was happening in the 60's and 70's - those people (including me) we you younger folks FOREFATHERS, or was it foreskins, or something like that....

Damned Salvia....

LOL....

Peace,

For real I have seen and found some crazey stuff, electronics that just need new bateries or appkiances that just need to be cleaned.

[BizzleLuvin]

hmmmmm im going to burn this thread. still diving, there's this new bread place nearby that throws out a lot of day -old loaves. gahhh damn you

[Purple Banana]

I've dumpster dove! Not for food, but for books, clothes, and other stuffs. It's fun.

[geonagual]

This thread will never die bizzle..it is hear to stay until etenity

[nightlight]

hmmmmm im going to burn this thread. still diving, there's this new bread place nearby that throws out a lot of day -old loaves. gahhh damn you

in new haven atticus leaves out garbage bags full of bread that was baked that morning. between the garlic ciabatta and the cranberry nut loaf i am set for life.

[trynagethigh]

Cant say that I actually dumpster dive everyday but if I pass by something in the alley thats off some value I grab it. Lawnmowers, snowblowers, and a whole lot more. Also when I was working in a dollar store a while ago I couldnt believe the shit I had to throw out. Brand new clothes, all kinds of shit especially if the box or container was damaged, only problem was I couldnt take anything per the company rules but if i could have, shit my trunk would have been "filt to the hilt". From bent up boxes of unopened tissue to boxes of floor tiles. If you really want to find plenty of good shit check the dollar stores the night before trash day, everything gets tossed the night before. GO FREEGANISM..oh yeah lets not forget craigslist, one of my best friends moved and has supplied his entire apartment with free shit. He has not paid a dime for anything he has and he has some nice stuff.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

The thread that would not die! Muhahahahaha!
I love Craigslist. My latest bargains: A 12 amp Bissell bagless vacuum for 20$, and a Fridgidaire 5.5 cu. ft. chest freezer that was clean as a whistle for 50$, two new in the box 400W power supplies for 15$. Also a queen size boxspring and bedframe for FREE!

[KMK420]

a good place to dumster dive is industrial parks. alot of companys constantly throw away computers and other electronics. i went about 2 months ago and i found a brand new dell. pentium 4 prossesor and a new flat screen. it was pritty sweet.

[4osiris]

Yo man. I've took a leak behind those dumpsters-sorry to say but in extreme(drunk)situations. And I've seen those maggots and flies everywhere on those things and it would freak me out so bad that I would almost piss on myself every time! But due to the cause(Freegans)I'll always be conscious of the idea that I could be pissing on someone's meal.

[dean0000]

Taking and eating food out of a dumpster that has had rotting food, flies, maggots and god knows what else is disgusting. All that bacteria and germs could seep through the packaging, also your touching the packaging then eating the food with your hands. You get seriously ill from doing this. I mean come on, we live in the year 2007 and know about germs and bacteria, this is shit that homeless people do.

We have money so we can buy food not take it from the trash. Anyone who eats from a dumpster needs to take a health and safety class.

[greatmuta]

:jointsmile: I tried to get into dumpster diving about 2 years ago but everytime I went out and started looking through dumpsters I got all paranoid. And I never found anything good. But I sometimes go on the dumpsterworld.com message boards and read people's crazy stories. Like this one guy who was actually inside a dumpster looking around and somebody came to dump some trash so the guy came flying out of the dumpster and ran off. :D:D:D I wonder what that person must have thought ha.

[420_24/7]

slightly damaged tissues.......

[VoidLivesOn]

listen guys, i'm just like any of you.
i take showers every day. i make love to my significant other, i brush my teeth twice a day, i go to college and get good grades, i wash my clothes, i smoke pot every damn day, i shave my legs avery day and i like to dance. i go bowling on the weekends and i paint my nails. i ride my bike with friends and i take various psychadelics from time to time

i'm also a pretty crazy activist. yeah, i'm crazy in that respect....i take pride in it.i got to a different club meeting every day of the work week, United Greens, Environmental Students Association, Students for a Democratic Society, Youth for Socialist Action, Saling club. i go dumpster diving weekly, i go to protests, i banner drop, i stand on the corner of camden ave and college ave protesting for peace every damn sunday, i write to my representatives and i lobby, i speak my opinions loudly and i imagine a better society. i recycle and compost everything, i eat and buy organic, i am a vegetarian. i donate money to countless organizations, i volunteer my translating skills at free medical clinics.....i do a lot, let me brag for a moment. in doing all this, i am improving society in a small way.

and i don't hunt animals. that's cruel. humans can live without meat with modern advances in food. if you eat meat, that's okay....its your choice. if you hunt and can provide for yourself your own means of food, thats great...keep at it but dont go eating meat from farmed animals, thats counterproductive.

you may not agree with me. you may think i am a dirty hippy. but that doesnt matter. what matters is that my filthy dumpster diving escapades are indeed helping YOU, yes YOU and the rest of this disappointing society. you dont need to go dumpster diving. but just using less napkins and giving that homeless dude your spare change is not enough, its NOT ENOUGH! being responsible means doing more. i've dedicated a good part of my life to making up for the lack of irresponsible humans out there by going to the extremes to improve society. you can't just sit around and bitch, DO SOMETHING! (i'm only 19, surprise).

anyway, i find a lot of you disappointing. i'll die knowing that i've contributed significantly to society. the rest of u standing idly by....have fun being useless.


and what does it all mean at the end of the day? nothing because theres always that fat ass little kid in every store, of every city, of every state of america scarfing down some meat and redoing it the next week.

have you ever read a book called evasion from crimethinc?

dumpster diving sounds interesting to me, to like find free cool shit, but not food. humans were meant to eat meat. being a vegan is one thing, but then diving in dumpsters for it is just a whole nother story to me.

i tried it once but i didn't know what i was doing and was to scared to actually get inside the dumpster.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

i tried it once but i didn't know what i was doing and was to scared to actually get inside the dumpster.
:S2::S2: OMG. That's hilarious!

[Grindbot]

It seems like half the people who oppose diving on here think that you're too lazy to get a job and provide for yourself. Its a choice people, chill out.

I'd like to do it more often than I do, but around campus at the end of semesters, I have found all of my furniture, shelves and book cases, as well as CDs, DVDs, DVD players, and a $600 turntable that just needed a connection soldered to make it work.

Also, as far as maggots and flies and filthy food goes, Bizzle has mostly talked about bread shops. Bread doesnt attract all that stuff like wet foods do. And either way, an unoppened package of ham is exposed to less bacteria than your meal is when you sit outside for a picnic, or the fast food that anyone in the country eats.

Anyone whos worked in a retail position, be it a big or small company, should know that good stuff gets tossed out needlessly.

Very good points! I use to work at a Bakery when I was a kid, and most of the time the bread we threw out was still in the sealed plastic, so anyone who wanted to take it really didn't have to worry about filth, maybe sjust a bit of stale bread.

As for things gettin thrown out needlessly in retail, allo the places i worked the things that did get thrown out, got destroyed first! it was fun destroyin TV's and such :)

[DAY-DREAMER-MAN]

dumpster dive me fuck that:wtf:

[rebgirl420]

Yeah I couldnt do it.

But my aunt owns a mini storage and when people dont pay she is entitled to EVERYTHING in their storage. So i've found all sorts of cool stuff in there!

Like vinyl Zeppelin and Floyd records. And furniture that was brand spankin' new! Tags and all! People leave all sorts of cool stuff.
