I actually see nothing wrong with this. I work in the bakery section of my grocery store, and the other day we had to throw out some boxed cookies that were "expired" by a few days. They literally just threw them in the trash. I think they should actually make it easier for people to claim these items, by maybe putting the food into brightly colored bags and setting them on the outside of the dumpster. People are starving everywhere, and someone could have eaten those cookies with no harm to their health. I've also seen them throw out an entire package of perfectly good eggs because ONE broke.
What about if an employee wants to take home some grocery items that were going to be tossed in the bin regardless?? Would the employee get in trouble?? They shouldn't. My Mother used to say it was a sin to waste food, and I do believe that. I have seen such abject poverty in other countries-literally starving babies-so when I see this kind of waste I feel ill!! I am going to start dumpster diving at the supermarket near me when the weather is warmer. I am going to try & convince my teenage son to go with me-wish me luck!! It is pretty high tech over there-I am sure they have cameras. If they come out & yell at us, there are some smaller grocery stores around. I wish there was a place I could go diving for mortgage payments-LOL!!
+Geny R. I'd say 99% of employees would be fired if they took anything home. Most grocery stores (especially Costco) will check employees bags and purses at the end of the shift and heaven help you if you took anything home. This is absolutely ridiculous considering most employees make minimum wage and would be helped considerably. It's gotten so out of hand in North America that it's absolutely ridiculous. Expired food doesn't surprise me it's when you see a huge dumpster full of food that's good until the end of the year or 2017 that blows my mind.
+Carol Bei I know my local Costco does donate food to food banks. There are frequently full carts and even racks full of food left out back for the food bank to pick up. I have only ever seen bakery items though...rolls, bread, even pies at times. I wonder if it is because these are made in house and there is no supplier to answer to. No employee freebies though.
comes down to liability my friends. Obviously people such as yourselves and I understand that there might be a small risk when ingesting the food we scavenge from the dumpster. Where on the one side, there absolutely no harm in giving this food away; the other side of the coin leaves companies in direct liability to be sued if someone were looking to purposely Sue said food store because they ingested a bad apple. If anyone is to blame it's your typical coffee too hot to drink soccer mom's who purposely ignore the warning on the cup, proceed to drink the overly hot coffee, and receive oral burns even with all the warning signs, then proceed to sue the place she got the coffee from. The lazy and stupid ruin it for the rest of us.
there is just as much liability when food is sold to the public. The difference is money. In most cases they can't be bothered to take the time to have it picked up.
This is crazy ! I'm spending like $150 / week on food when I live alone and I could just be taking this stuff for free ? . Are you kidding me ?!!!? I do martial arts and I eat a lot of food and the amount of money I spend on food in the recovery - phase of training is insane. I'm going to have to try this !
The funny thing is that the more black spots bananas have, the sweeter they are! They're the best for smoothies!! The light yellow and the green ones are not good, as they are not ripe enough.
!! Graham Jackson got me into dumpster diving about a year ago when he visited me in California with a mutual friend. Since then I have been getting about 95% of the food I eat from dumpsters, and I eat better than I ever have before. If you've never been, go do it now!
OperationMaple I am definitely inspired! I think it is a nightmare how much food is wasted. What are the rules to dumpster diving at a grocery stores in Canada? Is it best to go after hours or any tips and tricks? I think you are a great group of guys! Way to get the right message out there!
Amanda Cindy Rose Thanks for reaching out!! I've added some links that were passed on from Graham to the description of the video. It should start you on the right track. All the best!!
PurpleGlobe sadly they lock up at lot of the dumpsters where i live and have security cameras ...one thing that really gets me is that they lock the dumpsters and there are several homeless people near the grocery store and dollar store.
To everbody: yeah, especially in Toronto I found dumpster diving to be VERY difficult because almost all of them were sealed trash compactors. I live in California now and I am lucky to have a few local, small grocery stores that don't lock up their dumspters, and that's what I'd suggest looking for in Canada or anywhere. Smaller, independent grocers typically can't afford the investment of a trash compactor or a lot of security. I also wouldn't be too deterred by video cameras, they're not going to look at them unless there is a crime committed. And if you're not 'breaking' anything to get in, you're not committing a crime.
I like how you explain things.. I am baffled that so much food is thrown away.. Just to share a little story a few years ago I had lost my job and I was struggling very much I did not care if I did not have food for me to eat but it broke my heart when I had to split slices of bread for my kids to eat and now knowing how these stores throw so much good food away had I known this back then I would have had not thought of it twice to go rescue some of this perfectly fine food that we could of so very much been thankful to have and eat. I am thankful now that I have learned to coupon and now I am even able to help others with my smart shopping I wish I could start Rescuing food to donate to people who really need it instead of it going to a landfill.. i live in the Usa.
I like your calm energy and how you don't bash these businesses, but explain why it makes sense from their perspective to throw food out. You've earned yourself a sub!
You are a good person for doing this, got me thinking I will try this since I have the kids grown and just feeding myself. The money I save could be a vaca at the beach. Thanks guys.
I prefer brown spots on bananas and if they get too bad, I freeze them as they make better banana bread than fresh. They're also better for you with brown spots. Trivia. :) Nice video!
I work as a garbage man and after a little while on the job you really see how wasteful people really are. I've lost count of how many things that were perfectly fine get thrown out.
Well am planning to move to canada soon, hope to meet you and learn from you :) Food is food, and we shouldnt be wasting the precious bites, because many out there dont have enough for a meal as well.
I've seen many a time, where people decide they don't want something and put it back on one of the random shelves. It could sit there like 12 hours or more before someone notices it and then gets thrown out. Then it sits there in the dumpster until you find it which could be days later (talking about meat and milk and other fresh items).
i knew these products looked familiar and then I saw the 2 dollar off sticker, I work for the same company, when we can't sell we have no choice to chuck when the best before date comes along because you're right, no one purchases it
I am on $726 per month social security check. I go dumpster diving cause of this fact and don't mind people knowing that is why I dumpster dive. I dumpster dive for my dogs, me and sometimes even my family, even though they do NOT like my diving cause of that 1 instance where the police stopped him just to harass my uncle, they did NOT even bring up dumpster diving. I keep dumpster diving and some days may find a good amount and some days don't find anything. I could ever live closer to the dumpsters, I would check them quite a few times throughout the day. They for awhile gave extra food stamps, even though the food stamps totaled the state minimum I am suppose to be getting in the 1st place $234, at the time I was getting $33, now I believe $68 is what I get until they go back down again and when I run out of food stamps and have no-more cash to use, I dumpster dive and when I need food again my uncle doesn't like going to town with me cause he knows I WILL check ever single dumpster I can when I am close to running out or have run out of food cause he did NOT want me to go to town, so I am Hoping to find food, I even find I rely on my own mother when I run out of food, she sometimes gives me cash when my dogs or me have nothing or very little, I know if something were to ever happen to her, I don't know and my uncles would move back to Illinois, I would have it very hard, much much harder than now, which I have done this before, I biked a total of 30 miles to and from, 15 miles to and 15 miles back, its gotten alot rougher cause of the heat. I could ever move to a town that had plenty of stores I would go dumpster diving alot. I wish mother would leave this town with me and hopefully live closer to transportation and businesses where it would be easier to go somewhere you needed to. THANK YOU! and GOD BLESS!
My boyfriend worked at Panera Bread, years ago. I was happy to see that a few nights a week, a local homeless shelter would pick up bags and bags of wonderful food and bakery. Still perfectly fine for days. The nights the people didn't pick up product, they would give it to employees. A new manager came to the store. Stopped the employees from getting the food. I made a comment that they publicly tell people how great they are, giving to the poor. Yet you'll throw shit away instead of giving to your own employees? They don't pay anything, they give people minimal hours. There were nights my boyfriend didn't eat. Couldn't afford his insulin, until he got a better job. I guess they thought about their hypocrisy. They changed their policy back. We were getting loaves of fresh bread. Baked goods, etc. Wtf. You're going to throw it away. At least let your employees EAT for fucks sake, if you're not going to pay them. BTW, Panera got a nice tax break for these donations to the shelters too. There's ALWAYS an incentive for the businesses. Always.
Once found 1.5 kilos of perfectly edible chicken, four litres of milk and 800 grams of vacuum-packaged pork + some edible, a bit bumped veggies. Absurd. Unfortunately it is getting harder here to find those nice dumpsters.
In the U.S. 30% or more of our food is thrown out a year. Just think about the people that dont have a home or people who dont have lots of money could be doing a lot better if these were donated to a charity like churches or food pantries. And for the products that are not food like WORKING electronics or holiday decorations or anything like that could be donated to goodwill or the salvation army. Some people are wasteful. If people want to end world hunger then maybe do so e of these things. Might solve 1.) Make more jobs because the U.S. would save money on food and other products. 2.) Feed mpre of the population. Anyone ever think of that?!?
If I had to I do it in a heartbeat wear ripped off at the grocery stores every day in a freaking way that was in the dumpster is no more poisonous than what you buy off the shelf write that one down for the book sweetie you better you bet if I need food I would go to the dumpster how do you think these homeless people live. And it's a shame what we throw away in our country and they're still people that go to bed hungry and why is this somebody explain that to me got the government damn sure can't explain it to me to where I can understand it all the f****** write-offs tax deductibles and the kid goes to bed hungry tonight and America bulshit I'll I get mad I get mad when I see stuff like this help clean all the dumpsters out people get close I get makeup they get everything out of dumpsters toasters good for you I think it's very smart shopping myself and I'm 74 if I could get inside of a dumpster I would. Amen
I don't see anything wrong doing dumpster diving, for me anything thrown inside a dumpster is free stuff for everybody who wants it recovered. I happen to pass by a Dunkin Donut one night, and they thrown bags of Bagels and boxes of donuts. I picked some of it, ate it and gave some to my friends in the Church. I'm still alive today luckily!
How do you prevent getting sick or food poisoning whilst doing this? I've gotten food poisoning a handful 5 times each year and that's without getting my food this way. I would be more than happy to eat this food but would just want to ensure that it has been cleaned.
I believe there should be USA /Canada federal law it is illegal to waste any consume or house new condition item or goods that is over 1kg per year ! if left oven unsell able condition must be donated to Non profit Organisation ! we are had enough large company wasting food and other goods !
So crazy what they throw away, there are so many homeless people that this could feed, I have friends that work hard every single day, but are going Hungry because by the time they have paid there rent and bills there's nothing left (sad), unfortunately it's illegal to Dumpster Dive here in the UK (England) otherwise I would be doing excatly the same as you, all the people that say it can't be good for you eating this food are crazy (you look extremely healthy to me) healthier than most actually xXx
Wow. The waste is unbelievable. These guys are young, but they are doing more to stem the waste big business participates in than most of us. Plus guys this age eat like Trojans-I'm sure they will go through all those pizzas and juice in no time flat.
I'm new to dumpster diving and I really want to start finding places to find thrown out food but all the grocery stores around my area have fenced in or locked dumpsters. Really is a shame.
So this is awesome and I'm all about this but I can't believe he took a bite of a dumpster peach he didn't wash first : o .... There's mold on the lid of the trash bin you just pulled it from.
We dumspter dive too.basically because we have a backyard chicken.our chicken loves to eat lettuce and all leafy veggies and fruits.so we pick in the groceries trash for them.its their special food as what my husband say.but we gi ve them regular chicken food of course.we also eat some of our finds if it is still in good condition especially those in sealed container.
No, you are wrong... the biggest change will be deregulation. The government forces companies to throw perfectly good food out instead of selling it at a cheaper price/donating it to the needy.
I have an issue with frozen stuff being thrown out so quickly after a fridge stops working, but I have gone to small stores where they literally refreeze stuff that is frozen and spoiled. It drives me nuts because this happens with some of the small Indian grocers I go to just to get a small taste of home and I have heard others complain about their bodegas and ethnic grocery stores doing the same.
Salut buat anda... Di saat banyak orang kelaparan banyak toko toko makanan membuang makanan yang berlebihan ke dalam tempat yang tidak semestinya.... Seharusnya ini bisa di donasikan ke lembaga yang menangani atau lembaga lembaga terkait
Everything you are saying is true I am a dumpster diver and I see what is thrown away sad I work for a organic /natural food supermarket in Florida and alot is thrown away so if people can take the food from the dumpsters to eat it shouldn't be a promblem it will just whined up in a land fill I think that is where it goes there are alot of hungry children and families in the USA and all around the world and there is so much waste
I find it so sad that they throw food like this, I mean what about 3rd world countries?? why not donate it to countries with dying and starving people??
And you can still freeze some products in,cause the date on it doesnt really match ,its just the system. And ofcourse if you use your insticts, just smell at anny food, it sure works with me, if i goth a rare feeling about it, i just Dont eat it, even do the date is not expired, i trust my own guts, its sad that alot of people are from a mentality that its gros to go in the trash, they dont even care, dont have the awareness, lets hope we can reach out to so manny people ,it is ALL about education and human ecuality!!
or the Pizzas are Inferno Pizzas loaded with hot peppers and no one wants em , lol i found a bunch of those once , not bad if ya bother to take out the hot peppers
What are the best stores to dumpster dive at for food? I notice that places like Wal Mart and Winn Dixie have the giant dumpsters that have the shoot that leads to inside the store so you can't access them really...
Mr do what you need to do in order to get corporate office owners look bad so that they can do better than that. You doing right and I will start back writing letters to corporate office staff and owners about what they do with food that can be given to hungry and needy people.
Those foods can still eat and cooked . It really hard to work to buy for that stuffs i wish i could be there so i can have that too or i can donate that to a lot of people that in hunger specially kids

i went dumpster diving at aldi and i found some nice watermelons and a brand new clothes holder, dumpster diving is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
This is crazy ! I'm spending like $150 / week on food when I live alone and I could just be taking this stuff for free ? . Are you kidding me ?!!!? I do martial arts and I eat a lot of food and the amount of money I spend on food in the recovery - phase of training is insane. I'm going to have to try this !
how did this work out for you?
Sorry what? $150/week and you live by yourself?? Where the hell are you shopping?
i just went out today and I found some good onions, peppers, peach, ginger, a brand new iron in its box, lots of tomatoes, apple, blue berries
The funny thing is that the more black spots bananas have, the sweeter they are! They're the best for smoothies!! The light yellow and the green ones are not good, as they are not ripe enough.
Great for banana bread too.

Cheers mate
Im GOING to bed thinking about dumpster diving tomorrow.. lol
If produce is in such abundance, they should probably drop the prices so the product moves faster. Idiots but that's a lot of food.
Yes an offer the unideal spotted fruit for a discount.
Lol but they wont becuae they like money and not the consumer.
I like your calm energy and how you don't bash these businesses, but explain why it makes sense from their perspective to throw food out.
You've earned yourself a sub!
You are a good person for doing this, got me thinking I will try this since I have the kids grown and just feeding myself. The money I save could be a vaca at the beach. Thanks guys.
Found 13 working 19 inch 720p tv/monitors my first week of diving, but even then the food is where it's at. Keep educating people my friend!
Great video/info..... and man, I WISH I had produce dumpsters like that near me!
Even thrift stores throw away picture frames, funiture, books, clothes and what ever didn't sell. Most of the time is because it was overpriced.
Bo za dużo produkują jeden przed drugim robią więcej ale robią jednorazówki bez wartosci
my turtles would LOVE that lettuce, and save me $$$$$$
Your voice is so soothing 😭 anyways I was thinking of dumpster diving to find food to give to the less fortunate
You guys rock.... Love love love what your doing.
The first 1 minute of this video basically just described the society we all live in now these days LOL
here in Philippines many people is hungry that's why I'm inspired to go there and be a dumpster diver
I prefer brown spots on bananas and if they get too bad, I freeze them as they make better banana bread than fresh. They're also better for you with brown spots. Trivia. :) Nice video!
Hi. Are you guys still diving? Just came across your channel.
I work as a garbage man and after a little while on the job you really see how wasteful people really are. I've lost count of how many things that were perfectly fine get thrown out.
College students can now afford thanksgiving thanks to you!
I love it how he is talking and the guys are grabbing food from behind him lol
I have filled my freezer & the freezer of must of my friends with chicken, pork & beef
Well am planning to move to canada soon, hope to meet you and learn from you :) Food is food, and we shouldnt be wasting the precious bites, because many out there dont have enough for a meal as well.
this is where I'll go if I'm homeless
Wow man.. In my country dumpsters stink a lot and all the food in there is VERY descomposed!
I know someone who works at freshco and always hearing stories of how stuff needs to be thrown out and employees are not allowed to take any of it
If nothing else I see a lot for the compost pile. Good video.
D: I want to go Dumpster Diving but, my parents find that to be disturbing. D:
WOW ! ! ! Thank you so much for sharing ! You give me much to consider. I appreciate you for being brave---PD
I've seen many a time, where people decide they don't want something and put it back on one of the random shelves. It could sit there like 12 hours or more before someone notices it and then gets thrown out. Then it sits there in the dumpster until you find it which could be days later (talking about meat and milk and other fresh items).
Smart divers avoid dairy and meat. But breads, veggies, etc are golden.
Do this and give it to the homeless
at the very least, compost the food!!! great foods for composting!!!
thanks for helping with re-using food!
we humans are so wasteful....
i knew these products looked familiar and then I saw the 2 dollar off sticker, I work for the same company, when we can't sell we have no choice to chuck when the best before date comes along because you're right, no one purchases it
Damn! I'm gonna go do that now. A nigga need to eat!
wish my ex knew this while he was homeless.
ull wash before u eat them? but ur friend ate the peach soon as he took them out the bin #gross
What store is that? I haven't seen ant store that separately throws out the produce separately
m
Great finds!! Love that you shared so much info; very beneficial!!
2014. Now 2020 many r dumpster diving . U r probably the first diving for foods
We in India never throw food...!! though we don't have food for some unprivileged...
Poor Americans..!!!

Unfortunately it is getting harder here to find those nice dumpsters.
Yup a tip for you guys DONT EVER DUMPSTER DIVING AT FUCKING NIGHT OH SHIT THAT SCARY
I'm gonna try dumpster diving at my local aldi and Iceland lmao
there's aldi's in Iceland😂!?!?
At least, those supermarkets could try composting all those vegetables and fruits. But of cours, they should donate. It's infuriating !!
In the U.S. 30% or more of our food is thrown out a year. Just think about the people that dont have a home or people who dont have lots of money could be doing a lot better if these were donated to a charity like churches or food pantries.

100,000 pounds are thrown out a year in the U.S

So crazy what they throw away, there are so many homeless people that this could feed, I have friends that work hard every single day, but are going Hungry because by the time they have paid there rent and bills there's nothing left (sad), unfortunately it's illegal to Dumpster Dive here in the UK (England) otherwise I would be doing excatly the same as you, all the people that say it can't be good for you eating this food are crazy (you look extremely healthy to me) healthier than most actually xXx
Oh my god I can't believe how wasteful this is. I'm not spending money ever again on food!
Wow. The waste is unbelievable. These guys are young, but they are doing more to stem the waste big business participates in than most of us. Plus guys this age eat like Trojans-I'm sure they will go through all those pizzas and juice in no time flat.
I'm new to dumpster diving and I really want to start finding places to find thrown out food but all the grocery stores around my area have fenced in or locked dumpsters. Really is a shame.
Homeless people everywhere are dying of hunger and these companies and supermarkets are throwing the food in the garbags 😠😠
So this is awesome and I'm all about this but I can't believe he took a bite of a dumpster peach he didn't wash first : o .... There's mold on the lid of the trash bin you just pulled it from.
We dumspter dive too.basically because we have a backyard chicken.our chicken loves to eat lettuce and all leafy veggies and fruits.so we pick in the groceries trash for them.its their special food as what my husband say.but we gi
ve them regular chicken food of course.we also eat some of our finds if it is still in good condition especially those in sealed container.
No, you are wrong... the biggest change will be deregulation. The government forces companies to throw perfectly good food out instead of selling it at a cheaper price/donating it to the needy.
I have an issue with frozen stuff being thrown out so quickly after a fridge stops working, but I have gone to small stores where they literally refreeze stuff that is frozen and spoiled. It drives me nuts because this happens with some of the small Indian grocers I go to just to get a small taste of home and I have heard others complain about their bodegas and ethnic grocery stores doing the same.
с голоду там точно не умрёшь.... у нас на зарплату ели выживаешь а там бомжи питаются лучше чем у нас средний класс....
Salut buat anda... Di saat banyak orang kelaparan banyak toko toko makanan membuang makanan yang berlebihan ke dalam tempat yang tidak semestinya.... Seharusnya ini bisa di donasikan ke lembaga yang menangani atau lembaga lembaga terkait
Everything you are saying is true I am a dumpster diver and I see what is thrown away sad I work for a organic /natural food supermarket in Florida and alot is thrown away so if people can take the food from the dumpsters to eat it shouldn't be a promblem it will just whined up in a land fill I think that is where it goes there are alot of hungry children and families in the USA and all around the world and there is so much waste
3 days ago i got 12 bag of English muffins. best before march 30th.
I find it so sad that they throw food like this, I mean what about 3rd world countries?? why not donate it to countries with dying and starving people??
Great video. These groceries should still offer it to customers and employees.
And you can still freeze some products in,cause the date on it doesnt really match ,its just the system. And ofcourse if you use your insticts, just smell at anny food, it sure works with me, if i goth a rare feeling about it, i just Dont eat it, even do the date is not expired, i trust my own guts, its sad that alot of people are from a mentality that its gros to go in the trash, they dont even care, dont have the awareness, lets hope we can reach out to so manny people ,it is ALL about education and human ecuality!!
or the Pizzas are Inferno Pizzas loaded with hot peppers and no one wants em , lol i found a bunch of those once , not bad if ya bother to take out the hot peppers
i go Dumpster diving for cans to get cash, Food that i clean off for eating. I legit will dive for anything.
Cool but eating that peach RIGHT OUT OF the trash? Please be safe!
I'm willing to do this, but do you just go behind a store or what? Does the store care?
wow ! nice load helps to have a fucking Car , i'm out
Every time I go to the dumpsters they are either empty or just garbages. So far I’m 0/5
Hi my name is Teresa and I would like to know if you know or we could dumpster dive in Los Angeles California
If you make a grocery list & stick to it, there won't be any waste, unless you change your eating habits.
I am the 6,000 subscriber.. Just saying.
thanks this is an awesome video
What are the best stores to dumpster dive at for food? I notice that places like Wal Mart and Winn Dixie have the giant dumpsters that have the shoot that leads to inside the store so you can't access them really...
Mr do what you need to do in order to get corporate office owners look bad so that they can do better than that. You doing right and I will start back writing letters to corporate office staff and owners about what they do with food that can be given to hungry and needy people.
Wooow! Dude, thanks for the video and information. I live right next to Wal-Mart and I think I will go do dumpster diving there and save lots of food.
wow what a waste. gosh. good for dumpster diving! nice guys
Luckdown guy"s no more peaple if ypu not go to surrived youre life.
the amount of good foods that is wasted is beyond me! meanwhile some 3rd world countries dont even have food
When I shop I look for the perfect fruit or veg not because it is perfect but because it is more likely to last longer at home so I have less waste
