I would encourage you to check it out!!!!  Any store that has dumpsters might have a treasure waiting to be found!!!!! But some stores lock their dumpsters, if so, just move on to the next one....

OH!!!! and be sure to bring some old grocery bags or something with you! Gotta carry the stuff home.


GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

One time It was raining out and cold as hell (Seattle in Feburary) and It was about 4am and I was tired and drunk and had no blanket to sleep with, so I searched dumpsters behind a sporting goods store and a department store. The dumpsters for both stores where together and in one of them I actually found A huge blue blanket. It was alittle wet from the rain, but it was better than nothing that night. I used it, slept, and got rid of it the next day. It was an incredible blessing at the time. The dumpster can be your friend if you let it.

That blanket was waiting for you.

Ever since it came out of the factory, it knew its purpose in life.

Being blue, the blanket never really had many friends. He wasn't very bright, and certainly couldn't compare with the patterned blankets, but he made it by okay.

By the age of eighteen the blanket's outer packaging was ripped and got pushed behind overstock.

After a few months of lonely, isolated thought, the blanket had an escape plan.

It fell off the shelf as a manager was walking by and found it's way to an area you frequent.

Being a rainy night, he knew you'd come. He knew.

found the two best canvases i've ever used in the alley behind my college house. rich students throw lots of great stuff away, no appreciation for what they actually have, just for what mommy and daddy COULD get them.

Now that's just beautiful...

BTW- I am a dumpster diver too!  I've always done it since I was a teenager as a part of basic survival tasks to get throuugh long trips alone to different places and because recycling trash=free art supplies( though not on par or in th same arena as the aforementioned canvas).  And yeah- pizza places are about absolutely perfect- fit for a king of the road!  And most people who do it are not poor, they are inteligent, middle class people who know things about things and know what the right thing to do is even when it's unpopular.  Damn near brilliant. :thumbup:

One time I was dumpster diving behind a Wal-Mart (one of those super wal-marts with the grocery store in it) and I opened the dumpster lid and this lady who must have been at least 75 is in there and she ended up sucking my dick...

What a night, free food and a free blowjob

Oh, and she was black...

Thats fucked up they just throw that shit away. I do work w/ the hunger task force in the city here, and we have people who go around to all the grocery stores and pick up anything thats still good but that they're throwing away 'cause its old. Produce/Baked shit/meat.





Isn't that the truth! I volunteer at the local homeless soup kitchen and I've been sent out to pick up expired food at the local grocery stores. Needless to say, I usually come back with quite a haul.

dumpster diving is illegal in idaho and the grocery stores are pretty hardcore about it, but when i was down and out i used to get a lot of the "fresh and ready" (no pun intended) pizzas from the dumpster at little cesars.

your in the PNW...so go check out the Shari's Restaurants.

my girl friend works at one.

they throw out tons of fresh stuff all the time.

Pie's...especially.

We tried to get the manager to donate the pie's to local food banks.
But they won't let us...and they are still plenty fresh.
Less than 4 days old...they just go in the dumpster!~
It's such a waste of food!~

:crazy:

----

On another note.
I was a garbage man for a little over a year...little known fact.
I would never take any food...though.
But all the great stuff that rich people throw out...is just insane.
TV's, VCR's, $200 expresso machine new in the box, new nike tennis shoes they might have worn 2 or 3 times...stuff like that.

Aint nothin wrong with dumpster divin :p Here in Boulder, the organic whole food stores throw out LOTS of good food. I'm suprised that there aren't a bunch of homeless people pickin it up on the daily. My roommate picked up a huge box of mangos last weed, from behind a store.

I usually go inside and buy my food.

Well, to clarify, I don't actually "dumpster dive". I just collect the food they would've thrown out, had no one asked them.....
