In this recurring post we will detail the profiles of our families and the members of the freegan community we interact with (while protecting their identities), describe the outlets we scavenge (without revealing locations), and publish a photo journal of the items we gather (while keeping the labels a secret). We hope to inform families of the multiple benefits of dumpster diving, but we are in no way suggesting that what works for us will work for you too. In fact it is almost a certainty that it will not. We will begin by posting a photograph of just a few items gleaned from our latest excursion including an infographic that illustrates the type and price of each item. In future posts we will share tips, recipes, unique experiences and warnings. We welcome criticisms and questions but will be cautious with responses.
With dirty hands,
the Gleaners
