Where's your favorite place to dumpster dive?
What do you usually get?
Who the fuck dumpster dives for food, especially unsealed food, if they're not homeless?
I like pizza restaurants after they close for the night. Some times I get as several boxes of undelivered pizza. Most of the time it's just half eaten slices.

I am disgusted.
Even homeless people can eat fresh cooked meals, in USA. There's literally no reason to dumpster dive.
Also, my manager at Albertsons had a four-piece treatment for thrown out food.
First he doused it in bleach, then paint thinner, then gasoline, then sit it all on fire
He used to laugh and say "nobody is gonna eat free on my watch"

As someone who's worked in the food industry, our dumpsters are a fucking disgusting mess of hot food waste and grease-covered trash bags. How do you go about dumpster diving without feeling wildly disgusted by what you come across, much less go about eating it willingly.
>>7851789
I would think it would be less of an issue if you dumpster dived at a grocery store rather than a restaurant. Less grease and random assorted disgusting shit.
>>7851789
By being a poor piece of shit with no other viable options.
>>7851789
I don't know where you are from, but in Germany people seperate the trash. There is one for organic waste, one for packaging, one for paper and one for the rest.
I haven't tried to look for food in restaurant dumpsters, but the food stores usually have quite clean dumpers.
>>7851803
Care to explain what makes you dislike people who go dumpster diving?
>>7851712
Nice read. I used to have some problems with talking to strangers, imagining I'm being judged, or feeling uncomfortable when somebody was disagreeing with me. Dumpster Diving helped me quite a bit with that, it changes your view on things

There are missions all over town that serve food all day. How fucking retarded are you
>>7851817
because you are cheating the system and essentially stealing from grocery stores. you are a leach. you provide nothing and you suck away from society. You stealing from the dumpster doesnt help them pay employees, doesnt help them pay the farmers who actually grow the food, and doesnt help the economy.
basically what you are saying is i dont give a fuck about all the people who actually put in the blood sweat and tears to get this food here in the first place, all i care about is saving a few bucks because me me me.
kill yourself pleb

>implying we're from the same town
>>7851862
of course, nobody has anything to say when i make a decent point. i hope you all eat bleach and die you worthless faggots. you belong in r9k
>>7851862
>essentially stealing from grocery stores
By taking food they were literally throwing away? By the time that food is in the dumpster, it was considered unsellable thus it was already out of the economic system.
>>7851862
>>7851863
I mean unless you reside in Ethiopia there should be no problem eating free at multiple charities. You don't have to break into produce stands anymore you filthy animal
>>7851895
nobody replied because your point was retarded, they were trying to be nice.
>>7851935
except its not though, dumpster diving is strictly selfish, and you are implying that you are more important than all the epople who worked hard to grow, transport, and sell that food.
If its just about saving the food, then take it out of the dumpster then go inside to pay for it. You are cheating the system and you think its cheeky, but in reality if everybody thought like you thousands if not tens or hundreds of thousands of americans would be out of work. this is why fgrocery stores dump bleach in their dumpsters because of non contributing loser dumpster faggots like yourself. have fun being on the shit tier of society and never really succeeding because you eat out of the fucking dumpster like the piece of shit worthless scum waste of oxygen and matter filth you are
but hey, free bananas right?

He is saying if the person didn't choose to wait until it hit the dumpster he would be contributing to the economy. Assuming the man didn't wait, the same amount of food would not be wasted, but money would be changing hands for it across the economy. Basically, he is a leach because he doesn't contribute on the front end by sucking off the back end.
I feel morally ambiguous about the whole thing. Food waste is a sad aspect of western civilization, but we need to address that by donating food which is hitting it's "sell by" date to food banks who can turn it into meals for the hungry. A person who can contribute to the economy by purchasing should do so.
No shillmo.
>>7852000
>hurr people who can afford food take it out of the dumpster
>hurr only people willing to buy into and support a broken system deserve to live
For the effort, time, and self degradation, what's the actual cost of dumpster diving? Because it's certainly not free.
>>7852081
its only broken because of non funtioning cogs like you anon. you are the cog that is stopping the machine from working. Lazy do nothing welfare babies are the reason the machine doesnt work.
>>7852081
you could say, get a job. and at said job you could say, try hard and respect yourself and the work you put in to society. you could get raises, buy things, hell, you could maybe stop eating food out of places people put their babies diapers. but instead you choose to do nothing and eat out of dumpsters and try to figure out ways to "cheat the broken system we are anooniemouse we do not forget hurrrrrr" and in the end, actually end up cheating your full potential as a human being.
just face it, you try to circumvent society because you are a lesser being, and really dont even belong in society in the first place. human interaction is tough for you. i bet eye contact is the worst for you.
>>7851712
That was a great read.
I dumpster dive in Poland, which is harder, becase there are less huge dumpsters and many of them are closed. But there are some places in my area that throw out A LOT of fruit and veggies. Imma post some pictures in a moment.
It's hot now so I'm not DD so much now. The food spoils before evening. Boo.
>>7852155

For some reason we kept finding shitloads of bell peppers. We made a lot of letchos with them. Mmmmm.

no offense man but a lot of those vegetables, esp. the peppers, look like shit. like only a fool would buy those from a grocery store.

The peppers were just a bit wrinkly, they were still hard. Also they weren't in a dumpster, they were in a box beside the dumpster.
But I cooked everything anyway. I made cake from the apples and some preserves. Same with peppers.

From CNSNews.com: But the 109,631,000 living in households taking federal welfare benefits as of the end of 2012, according to the Census Bureau, equaled 35.4 percent of all 309,467,000 people living in the United States at that time.
35% no wonder i pay so much in taxes

No, you are implying you are more important than the microbes that will break down the food which will ultimately be its fate if not for human intervention.
>>7852000
The store wouldn't let you pay for it anon because of liability issues. a lot of that food is reject food because it isn't as pretty as the rest, maybe some of it fell on the ground in the stockroom or something, or it's a day past the sell by date but still perfectly good. we're really wasteful like that because of fear of lawsuits, these dumpster bros help to mitigate that waste. I don't see a problem with it

>this is why fgrocery stores dump bleach in their dumpsters because of non contributing loser dumpster faggots like yourself.
if any stores pour bleach in their dumpsters, it's to help cut down on the smell during summer. otherwise, they're not going to waste money pouring bleach just to keep people from eating trash. they know those people aren't going to buy it. the loss of bad items, unappealing items, etc. is already factored into their markup.
i managed a meat market. i couldn't give two shits about what people did with the meat we threw out. so long as they didn't make more work for us by digging shit out and not taking it or putting it back in the dumpster, they were fine.
>>7853043
its actually literally so people dont eat out of it
source: work at a grocery store for the last 6 years
>>7853010
clearly have no idea what you are talking about if you think food gets thrown away because it has touched the ground...
you understand thats where the food comes from, right?
>>7853010
You don't see a problem with it because you aren't thinking hard enough. If they weren't going through the dumpster, they would come inside and buy food, hypothetically.
We have an old family friend who goes around to all of the grocery stores and collects some of the food they are going to get rid of and takes it to food pantries.
Every once in a while he'll show up to bring us the stuff the food pantries wouldn't take. Shit like loafs of bread two weeks past the sell by, and produce that's barely on the side of edible. It's like a goddamn Goodwill Outlet that shows up at our front door. We always pretend like we appreciate it, and don't know how to tell him to stop.
>>7851862
Actually, reducing food waste removes methane from landfills. This is both good for the environment and lowers your taxes. Farmers throw away up to 50% of their crops because they are not perfect so it costs them more money to ship than let rot. Grocery stores throw away somewhat less for the same reason. Individual households throw away 30% of their edible food on average. The system is contrived to make you be a miserable wage slave hyper-consumer whilst vilifying scavengers who not only do not hurt you, but actually help you. Stealing is cheating the system. Making use of something that someone threw away is blessed. Obliterating, destroying, or denying something you throw away to someone is evil. You sound like "me me me".
>>7853215
wow, took you long enough to think of that back-asswards way of thinking shit post. quality bait anon. 1/10 made me respond
>>7853087
How would buying the food help anybody? Famers aren't poor people because dumpster divers don't buy food, but because food is incredibly cheap and because they have to throw away insane amounts of it when it doesn't fit industry standards. This is not a problem of not enough people buying at walmart, but of the big companies pushing shitty conditions for the actual producers of food.
Don't you see a problem with how much food is thrown away?
>>7852212
Nice finds man. How is the police in Poland? Is it illegal to DD?
Met some nice people last time I went, they also organised some kind of food saving group, where the stores would actually just hand them the best before stuff and the veggies and fruits they would have to throw away otherwise.
Should have made some pictures of my stuff
>>7851862
T B H I started dumpsterdiving because I couldn't get a job back in the day. The supermarkeds I applied to would rather hire a spanish girl for a third of the price than hire me. I had no hard feelings 'stealing' their trash afterwards. I was literally starving at that point (living on 3500 calories pr week, one bag of oats eaten with water). I kept dumpsterdiving because I remember what it felt like to not have any money so I don't waste it.
>>7852000
They actually dump bleach in the garbage because then it smells exactly like your mom's snatch.
I used to dumpster dive a whole bunch back in the day. I used to get the fruit, preserve it and sell it down at the farmer's market, thereby producing untaxed value from free resources.
Living the capitalist dream.
>>7853266
It's sort of a greyzone. I've heard people calling the cops on people who were DD, but it was mainly because they jumped over the fence so it was tresspassing. People rarely do it though, I've only heard about this two times. Once the cops just laughed and tell the janitor that he has to be kidding for calling this "a robbery", and they just let them go. The other time they also thought it was ridiculous, but the janitor was being a pain in the ass so they gave the guys a ticket for like 20zl each, which is like...5-6$. And they let them go.
They came back 30 minutes later to pick up the stuff they already took from the trashcans and put into their boxes. Lol. And it was easily worth more than the 10$ of fine.
>>7853406
Imagine how many people you've killed through food poisoning :)
>>7853428
Probably none. Not that there are any regulations on this sort of sale. Most fruit borne food poisoning is from contamination anyway, and is prevented by washing and cooking, both of which were done.
>>7853421
It's pretty ridiculous how it can be illegal. If you don't want people to consume the 'waste' then you should make less waste in the first place.
>>7853438
Most fruit doesn't spend time in a dumpster
Most fruit doesn't get processed way past it's prime after receiving surface damage from decomposition, rough treatment and dumpster dumping
Most fruit doesn't get exposed to toxins from stores trying to prevent people stealing their trash
:)
>>7853438
Yeah. Once when I needed some cardboard boxes and used foil for archery targets the people in the shop told me they can't give them to me because the store has an agreement with some company who picks them up for recycling, and they get money for it. But I don't think anyone picks up the fruit and other food that gets thrown away.
I mostly think the shop owners don't give a damn, it's just the janitors who are afraid that people will leave a mess or steal something valuable, like the wooden stillages that are used for transport or something, I don't know really.
Working in grocery stores, I cannot understand why people take the risk of dumpster diving.
When I worked at Trader Joe's I was told to open all packaged waste and pour bleach onto it to make it inedible.
Another smaller store I worked at made me throw petrol on it.
Now I work for a Pizza Hut franchise and the manager gleefully puts glass or rat poison in pizzas and makes sure they look pristine so dumpster divers try to eat them. I don't know if anyone got sick but they do sometimes get taken from the trash.
It is really risky aside from all the bacteria.
that pic look like a bomb to anyone else? why would goodwill want a bomb associated with them?
>>7853542
>When I worked at Trader Joe's I was told to open all packaged waste and pour bleach onto it to make it inedible.
>Another smaller store I worked at made me throw petrol on it.
where are you? why would a store waste that much money on making food inedible. i worked in three different groceries when i was younger, from a small mom and pop owned place to a large chain here in oklahoma/texas. none of them made us ruin the food that was thrown out. they didn't give a shit if people took it. they weren't about to waste money getting bleach out of stock or really waste money by using gasoline. hell, i can't imagine the shit that would stir up with the company that owns the dumpster.
>>7853558
So the petrol thing was expressely said to be against wild animals. Expensive but hey I am not the owner. It wasn't much petrol either. A tin can full.
The bleach is common for many stores. It is against the smell but also against diving because the store owners did not want to deal with dumpster divers making a mess. Which they do. They leave a huge mess and then I get to clean it again next day.
I live in Pennsylvania.
>>7853541
>The only thing you mentioned that could cause harm is toxins, but I don't know how common that is.
If those fruit laid directly on top of rotten eggs or chicken in the dumpster, and laid there for 5-7 days before anon picked them up, they could easily have been contaminated with stuff like salmonella and botulism, and no washing the surface with a bit of anti-bacterial isn't going to fix that.
>>7852000
Uh-oh! Someone works in retail.
>>7853580
Why are you mocking the very workers you leech off of? You should be glad retail workers put up with Human raccoons that cover the street in trash in their hunt for a salmonella covered banana.
>>7853570
5-7 days? Noone picks stuff that old. You go to the store after it closed, pick up what has been thrown out that day, repeat the next day.
>>7851485
all the hate in this thread, i can feel it.
>>7852060
Dumpster divers do contribute financially because getting rid of garbage costs supermarkets money.
If there is less garbage to be collected the supermarket has to pay for less dumpsters to be emptied.
Of course thats only a thing if enough people do it to free up an entire dumpster throughout a week, which I assume doesnt even take that many.
>>7853076
Is there an actual reason behind it or just general mean spirit?

Of course there is. Avoiding potential lawsuits from some fool who gets sick or hurts himself trying to dumpster dive. Also, keeping vagrants (etc.) off the property so they don't cause damage or scare off the real customers.

>stealing
Once the owner of the product gets rid of the product, it's public property. You can't just go up to someone holding a piece of trash and say "Hey, that's my trash, I threw it away!"
>>7851485
You know food isn't that expensive. It's not like diving for electronics, you can usually go into the establishment and buy the food instead.
haha this is kinda funny, theres no intriguing stat here
O Shit its fuckin lit !

I don't because I'm not a mentally ill hippy.

>>7856228
This daffy shit doesn't realize that if you give someone food and they get sick, choke, or whatever from eating it then they could sue your ass and easily win. It's why restaurants throw away all the food that isn't eaten instead of giving it to homeless shelters.
>>7856254
Many restaurants and grocery stores will give certain foods to shelters and whatnot. Most chain grocery stores have an actual procedure for doing just that to cover themselves legally.
>>7856254
>if you give someone food and they (...) choke (...) they could sue your ass and easily win
so you can really sue someone because of your own stupidity in the U.S.?
I hate waste of resources of any kind and it breaks my heart to see good food going into bin, so even if I don't personally want to d-dive, I support those who do it and I couldn't give less of a crap if some consumerist whore has been brainwashed out of common sense to think they should feel like they're doing evil for picking up good stuff that's been thrown away.
The point about it hurting economy is pretty dumb too, considering how minimal the margins and how immense the volumes are in food industry.
Learn to produce less waste if diving hurts your feeling so much, that'd be for everyone's benefit in all kinds of ways.
>>7856275
Yes, see kinder surprises

There's a difference between waiting for a freebie and eating out of a dumpster. Of course there might be people who do this, but the number of customers you lose to such behaviour is tiny and constrained by how much perfectly good waste you generate in the first place.

I've worked at multiple locally owned restaurants, and at all them we were really good about not throwing away stuff about to go bad by giving it to the employees or making big staff meals out of it. At one pizza place I worked at, we would leave the pizzas that were never picked up or were extra for some other reason on top of the dumpster specifically so homeless people could get to them. Sometimes the homeless people would sweep the parking lot and shit too as a show of thanks. I also worked at a Burger King that wouldn't let us eat extra hamburgers that were about to be thrown away for being ten minutes old. Fuck corporations.

I personally like to think he's a genius comedian and the whole "you're a subhuman for taking food out of the dumpster" shtick is just all an act.
here in Germany food is so fucking cheap I can easily live off of 10 bucks for more than a week if I have to, so I never resort to dumpster diving. infact we often times get veggie that are about to spoil/just look a little bad but are very fresh for half the price or lower.
I shop at multiple local markets almost every single day and every butcher/veggie stand et cetera will have a discount on something else.
really helps vary your cooking, too. I made chashu out of pork back instead of pork belly. it was lean, mean and absolutely delish.

>no idea why they were thrown away.
Think of it this way: Supermarkets are going to sell a vegetable, then it will sit in the customers home/fridge for maybe up to another week or more. They might be good for consuming right now, but not in a week. Selling an "inferior" product at the same price doesn't work as demonstrated by people picking the milk cartons further back on the shelves.

Also, some stores have strict policies about how they handle produce. For example, they might say "we keep it for one week then it goes no matter what". Or the produce might have been thrown away for a reason that you cannot readily see. Maybe someone's kid was playing around with it and the clerk threw it out because it might have been contaminated. Maybe the chiller on that section of the produce isle failed and they tossed all the produce that was in it just to be safe.

When it comes to fruit, which is what I pick up 95% of the time, it has some small flaws. And the supermarket knows they're getting a delivery of fresher fruit the next day, so no customer will choose a banana with spots, an avocado that's just ripe to a point where it will be bad the next day, or a bell pepper that's a bit wrinkly.So they would have to throw it out anyway.
Also, very, very often, food is sold in 1-2 kilo bags, like apples, onions or potatoes. If the bag is damaged and for example one onion fell out, they can't sell the rest of the onions per kilo, since the price is per 1,5kg bag. No customer will pay for a 1,5kg bag that is ripped and a few onions might be missing, and they can't sell it for a lower price, because of policies. So they end up throwing it all away.
Sometimes tomatoes are sold in plastic boxes, there's 6 or 8 of them. If one of them is squished or gets wrinkly the whole bag is discarded, because customers will obviously pick the one that has 6 perfect ones.
Also, please be nice to people working at shops, it's a job like any other else.
bampu more DD stories pls
in 2015 I lived on approximately 200-800 dollars worth of food per day by dumpsterdiving over the summer. I chose high end supermarkeds mostly. Loads of fresh fruit and veggies, most of it expensive such as avocados, mangos, mixed salats, meme tomatoes, sweet potatoes, strawberries, cherries, papaya, pitahaya.. All of it in double plastic because of the way the store cleans the shelves so nothing was polluted. I found gruyere (twice), chevre, tenderloin (8 times), loads of yoghurts, and italian cured hams. I left most processed meats and low quality stuff because I had way too much to eat anyway. Peach season was bad in 2015 so the boxes in the store usually had one or two go bad so they threw them out. I usually got 5-6 boxes every night, and almost all the fruits were good. In July there was a bad batch of raspberries so all the stores threw them out daily for three whole weeks. I ate about 8-14 boxes a day and made the rest into jam and liquour. There was also a store that dumped expired bottle-aged beer one week, and another that dumped loads of salmon (because of a misplaced packaging stamp).
I lived like a king that summer.

They could give it to an organization under a contract on not suing for potential food poisoning and stuff. The organization could hand the food out on the same premise. Homeless could sign a paper and get free food.
>friend talking about how much good food he gets from dumpster diving
>asks if i wanna join him next time
>lol no thanks
>asks why not
>tell him because I dont work for minimum wage at busch gardens like he does
I would totally dumpster dive in the situation I am in right now. I'm just too scared of being seen and actually doing it alone. If I had a friend in stockholm to go with then I'd do it.

Did you tell the other line cooks that the garbage you were sharing with them is literally garbage?

Hey! I usually go to Biedronka's, but not all of them have the trashcans outside and available. Some are better, some are worse. One I go to has one of this smaller bins in which they put fruit and vegetables, but they mix so it's worse. The other one just puts fruit and veggies in boxes next to the bin, which is much better.
I usually go an hour after they close, so if it closes around 9pm I go at 10-10:30.
Not sure where you live, but Tesco and Aldi are worth a look too.
