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 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

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

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

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

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

LOL the one on the right.... I cant believe someone actually has a stencil that says that LOL

I can. Recently someone painted a parking spot in them iddle of a street in front of a bollard and wrote drunk drivers only.

oh my god the thread is back.

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.

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,

Old Stoner
