RE: Free the Food #24 ✔ | One Man's Trash Another Man's Treasure! [2018-01-24]

in #food7 years ago

This is great! I've dumpster dived on and off for a few years, it's amazing what you can find. After valentines day we once found a bin bag full of roses. A few summers ago we found one full of winter hats, scarfs and gloves (must have been passed the sell by date?). I can't say I've ever had such bountiful hauls as you though. Looks delicious. What are the authorities attitude towards this where you are? Here in the UK they've been clamping down on it, but a local friend of mine has set up a cafe where they serve free food and drinks (donations welcome) and managed to get supermarkets in the area to donate food they would otherwise throw out. It's INSANE what these huge institutions consider trash. Thanks a lot for the post mate!

Here it's mostly the individual stores fighting it with bigger locks and new system to keep the "trash" away from the people...
