Tired of paying for food? Interested in recycling? Looking to do both?
You can when you dumpster dive.
Dumpster diving is looking inside, or going inside, a dumpster, and finding useful things, food, and merchandise.
How do you start dumpster diving? What do you need? Is it legal?
How you start dumpster diving
You start dumpster diving by visiting dumpsters behind grocery stores or retail stores.
Lift the lid. See what is inside. If it’s useful, take it.
What do you need?
Essential gear for dumpster diving includes:
1. a reliable flashlight in order to see what’s inside the dumpster or compactor
2. some milk crates, so you can stand on them to look inside the dumpster, then use them to store items
3. durable clothing, shoes, long pants, socks, long sleeved shirt, jacket
4. a medical kit or just bring a carrying case with cotton swabs, hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, band aids in case of emergency
Is it legal?
Yes, dumpster diving is legal. My friend Scott called the police and asked them and they said it was legal. If there are no trespassing signs posted on the dumpster, that means stay away. Exercise caution and wisdom when dumpster diving. Bring a friend or two as dive buddies. It’s always good to have a support system.
What is Dumpster Liberation Front?
Dumpster Liberation Front is an open collective of friends and acquaintances who want to share the message that you can liberate yourself from shopping. How? By dumpster diving.
Once you see all the food that gets thrown out, you’re likely to dumpster dive yourself.
At Dumpster Liberation Front, we’ll show you how you can eat free, by dumpster diving.
Is dumpster food rotten?
Sometimes dumpster food is rotten, but even that can be used for compost, to nourish the soul, and to see what grows from the seeds. Often, the food is at the peak of ripeness, ready to eat.
Once you start dumpster diving, your entire view of paying for food will likely change, because you’re probably going to find a lot of food and other items in the dumpster.
Although you might be skeptical due to rumors, I’m here to tell you that dumpster diving is a fun way to save money, recycle, and avoid the hassle of standing in line at the checkout counter.
