Dumpster diving tip: What to do with more than you need
Well I’m at it again. From one dumpster diving haul from a single pet store I will be able to feed 4 dogs for a month.
Pictured above is 2 dog food containers, each with about 60 pounds of kibble, and another bag of dog food at 30 pounds. Yes, out of 1 haul I got 150 pounds of perfectly edible dog food. This waste is inherent to capitalism, especially the late capitalism we’re living in now, and even in the middle of a pandemic.
For 4 years now I have been feeding my dog for free, not just with freegan kibble but with meat, eggs, and veggies saved from being thrown away from households, restaurants, and retailers.
But more often than not I come across way more food than I need, and it’s not always shelf stable kibble. So what now? Take a portion and leave the rest to rot? Well, you don’t have to!
If you find yourself with the time and enthusiasm, a dumpster full of perfectly good potatoes can quickly become an empty dumpster, but how do you disperse this much food? First, try to find a Buy Nothing Project near you, see if your city has a free store, a food rescue project, or if you need to get your precious perishables to a fridge ASAP, donate to the closest homeless shelter (they’re usually open 24/7, but make sure to call ahead first). But if it can wait, food banks do take “expired” food, and are always in dire need of bulk donations.
Whichever method you choose, always make it a point to connect with people, dive and donate regularly if you can, and most importantly, get organized. Because when you donate what you don’t need, you’re taking direct action, and you are more powerful together.
I lied, that food lasted for months. And then we refilled the containers again, from one haul ( from a dumpster 1-6 days full of kibble [just one pet store throws away enough kibble to feed 4 large dogs for 2 months every 1-6 days, think about that).
This is why you organize. This is why you share your enthusiasm and ask around. You never know who used to sew and had heaps of sewing supplies, power tools, gardening stuff, etc.! When the right people know what you’re about, you will naturally form community and share what you can give. Whether that be skills , goods, or a helping hand.
Now more than ever, we need each other, and you can make a difference. Whether that’s by feeding dogs, feeding your household, or feeding others.
Put yourself in situations where your have more than you need and distribute.
Direct action works. Organize.

fyi this is just about gore, so think more about surgery and injuries rather than being emotionally upset by someone dying horribly

what's the most demented thing you guys got in trouble for in school mine was when an english boy in my class made fun of my name and called my mum a (derogatory word for irish travellers) so i told him my ira uncle was in town and was coming to blow him up after school
ok so nobody got in trouble in school?
