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:
Our first weekly meet-up of the year....cold as ice! :)

This is amazing. It truly is a lesson in abundance. Love what you're doing and what you stand for.
Restaurants have so much food left over at the end of each day that they are not legally allowed to distribute to the hungry. Instead, they must throw it out. Would be amazing to have an under-the-radar service that picks up that food and redistributes it to those in need.
Hey Neil, thanks for the support. Actually working with a initiative here in Gothenburg that gathers the things the stores aren't able to sell and place them in open fridges around town. It's called "Solidary Fridge (Soildarisk Kyl)" and could probably work with restaurants as well. But not sure about the laws here either regarding that...
I love this @reko , we have a few of those fridges around New Zealand. Also tonnes of people like you guys collecting food from the wasteful supermarkets & using it for food parcels. It is so unbelievable what they throw out, perfectly good kai (food)
plsce bro vote me
That's true words, in my opinion everything which is leftover with restaurants should be distributed to the needy people with respect and we are human beings and in my opinion we don't need any special permission to distribute it because it's the duty to distribute it instead of throwing.
Have a great day and stay blessed.
It's just unbelievable what you've done from "trash"
yes indeed @amiramnoam, it's hard to believe if you haven't see it with your own eyes. The food I'm saving is just from one single store as well! Crazy world...
You are great, my friend. Not many people willing to do what u did and most of us not even aware of how much food is being wasted everyday. You did a really good job in bringing the awareness to society.
This is incredible
Most people could never imagine themselves biting into a sandwich dug out of a dumpster, but the boundaries blur when you're talking about a sealed wedge of very expensive cheese. Things get even hazier when you factor in the most wholesome of establishments... Whole Foods. It's old news now, but for the uninitiated, there's a large "freegan" subculture of people whose meals are sourced primarily from restaurant and grocery dumpsters. GREAT POST MY FRIEND
Man, that's quite a haul you've got there! I even see some Polarbröd; I love that stuff!
Did you ever get caught by anyone? If yes, what happened?
haha yes indeed! Got caught many a times but always just explain what and why I'm doing it... the police is always nice and shocked of the quality of food I save from the bins!
Hi @reko you made me speachless ... I can´t believe how people throw away that amoung of food... when a lot of people don´t have anything in their tables.. you know here in venezuela the situation is horrible.. theres actually people eating from the trash but the difference its that they dont found anything but lets over...
so I think its amazing what are you doing helping others , I feel proud to know a guy like you. greetings!
You are doing great work @reko. keep it up
Nice! Thanks for the behind the scenes and Lizzy so cute!
Wow that doesn't look like something to be dumped... Its great that you are taking the initiative for this.
I would love to see a video of you guys dumpster diving! 😆
This is unbelieveable! wow such great job. I've seen many expired American food products being sold in Mexicans public markets , i've tried them and they taste just like the real thing! and just for the price of cents.
I appreciate your work and efforts .Thumbs up and a resteem from my side to support your work
Thank you for spreading the awareness on this important topic
Your good Karma will pay off you in better way

Good job! Nice Post
Many people didn’t realized how lucky they are to have food on their table and most of them just throw left over food instead of sharing…
I’m lucky to have parents taught us how to appreciate all blessing and to share it to those who are unfortunate …
I remembered most of the time when my mother cooked for us (even if there’s no occasion) she always have bowl of food to share it to our neighbor who is very old …
Even if she knew they have their food to eat my parents has a good heart of sharing …
She always taught “Iba yung bigay” It’s different when you give…
good thing to share what you have…

Good for you! I work for the airlines, and you won't believe how much food is wasted on the airplane. You do good work.
Give a man free food, and you feed Him for a day. Teach a man to garbage dive, and you feed him for a lifetime

@reko
Another great haul. I can think of lots of things worse than having to eat lots of salmon! It's great brain food!
Who knew big industrial bakerys invented ovens to burn bread and bake new bread given from the heat? Due to the huge overproduction.
What do you think of that ?
