Dumpster diving

The practice of foraging in garbage that has been put out on the street in dumpsters, garbage cans, etc., for discarded items that may still be valuable, useful, or fixable.

Latest Treasures...

Lots of heavy lifting with classical Swedish IKEA bags and my sturdy military rucksack...

Dumpster Diving - Behind the Scenes.

Was a cold and snowy night here in Gothenburg...

Lizzy is my loyal partner when diving, always ready to go! :)

Mission accomplished... ;)

Why do I Dumpster Dive?

Bring awareness on how much food is wasted with our current system!
Save the abundance of food that is wasted and share it with my network!
Minimizing costs enabling me to Power Up 100%!
Great regular exercise and good karma... ;)

Thursdays Weekly Meet-ups:

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

I regularly invite friends over to share the abundance of food, been doing it for many years but now I also of course make sure to introduce them to the Steem blockchain! ;)

Join my Discord Chat & May the Steem be with you!

This is the first post I opened up on steemit. I am liking this community already :) Great work on making a difference. It would be cool if you can walk into the stores and tell them to simply give you the food so you do not need to dive into the dumpsters. But they will most likely try to charge you for trying to help, lol. Good stuff reko.

I wish stores would throw less food, and instead focus more on advertising discounts for food, that they would normally throw out. A lot, as you have proven is fully edible.

I was actually wondering if all this array of food is actually from the trash until I read this:

Here you will find plenty of trash-related articles: you can search by specific countries and cities to find the best places in your area!

As I continued to read and watch the photographs I started asking myself why someone should make this kind of thing a career or hobby, especially when he has to go out at night, inside the terribly cold weather, etc. Then I saw this:

Bring awareness on how much food is wasted with our current system!
Save the abundance of food that is wasted and share it with my network!
Minimizing costs enabling me to Power Up 100%! Great regular exercise and good karma... ;)

At this point I gave up because I came to realise that the motivating factor was love, deep sincere love for the downtrodden and the under-privileged of the society.

My heart just melted!

@reko I salute your altruism and thank you for being that part of humanity that still know and understand the true meaning of the word 'love'.
