gtarman Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) So what I'm getting at is be careful when you enter the "dragon's lair" you never know what you may encounter. LOL @ dragon's lair. You have just convinced me that I need to create a recycling themed re-make of a Bruce Lee kung fu movie: I even quickly photoshopped the cover. This movie would rock like no other movie could ever rock, and I am a genius. Edited December 28, 2013 by gtarman 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted December 28, 2013 Also woollies and Coles woulda done a dump yesterday on foods that expired on the 25/26th, maybe you can get in still. If you wanna suss it during the day, just wear a yellow vest and pretend to push trolleys... Be confident and say g'day to the folks you see whilst waiting for your time... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whitewind Posted December 29, 2013 Aherm perhaps I shouldn't mention this but I know one person who dumpster dives and then provides a divine feast for 40-50 people on a regular basis (provided FOC of course), as part of charity raising awareness and funds. Mostly wealthier people attend. I mean, it's not like she can't afford it either, she just does it because she's obsessed with op-shops and council cleanups etc. Prolly why she's rich. Some people do very well on living off other people's waste. My washing machine, dishwasher and clothes drier all came from the council cleanups, as does most of my furniture. My daughter's clothes are all second hand, given to me by aforementioned friend and others. My food is not, I haven't leaned to dumpster dive and I don't have time with a 3 year old - meat is no good, but so long as you check the use-by date on the rest - it shouldn't be months but a few days? - it's all good. And fruit and veggie markets are the best for them. Like seriously, how much bread do you eat? A loaf lasts my daughter all week (I can't eat wheat). You know, I'd be happy to find fresh fruit and veggies on a daily basis. Other than that, all good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IndianDreaming Posted December 29, 2013 ^ Free Of Charge I've used the vest idea, works a treat - and in one dumpster I even found a hardhat! It's red - and I've used that and a glow vest in one dumpster at a worksite. The dude in charge said 'glad you've got ur gear on, you can dive all you like mate as long as you keep the f'ing OHS c*** happy and off our f'ing site you're laughin' Love it. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtarman Posted December 29, 2013 Stop postin and start divin gman! Your missing prime opportunity! Large appartment blocks are good for food this time of year, gets messy tho... Plenty of great non perishable foods are being tossed from the festivities Cheers mate. I may yet, depending on how many of my shifts work intends to cancel this week hahah. But there's always my precious savings account, and I have lots of food already at the moment. I've had an offer from a local group who goes diving regularly to tag along with them in the new year and they said they'll show me the ropes, and I think that's gonna be the best way for me to ease into it. It probably doesn't make a heap of sense to somebody who doesn't experience it (not sure if you do or not), but this anxiety shite is intense, and stops me from doing a lot of things. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quantum Future Posted January 17, 2014 More and more dumpsters are being closed When I used to be more ideological about recycling food in Norway I used to glue the lids of closed dumpsters. Best dumpsters for me are at the veggie markets. Vic Market in Melbs is the heaven - when you go on the closing hour. You can be picky of the quality of picked food (fruit and veg). There's massive amount in dumpsters and on the ground. I bet every veggie market is like that. Also no-one cares about you cause they're busy closing and the stand owners share the dumpsters, so there's no closed ones. If there's a lucky day - you eat just on the organic section. Good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
