At least there’s one man that is out there teaching and helping the environment and try to cut down on waste 👍🏻
I love his last line. "I hope for a day where freeganism is normal or obsolete "
Damn daniel, back at it again with the dumpster diving.
I dont know if I could go dumpster dive like him- best I can do is to live a frugal and minimalist lifestyle
Daniel: Feed the cat (with the chicken)
Buddy: I'm the cat
Lol! Hahahaa 1:57
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure
1:45 sometimes I have to throw away food because it dropped on the floor and my dog ate some of it / some bug went inside and I just put it back in the packaging to throw it... don’t eat food from the trash guys...
exactly,thats where i draw the line.house hold items or items i wont eat are ok,but nope to the rest
Don't actively dumpster dive but if I see something of use, I take it! Food only if it is canned or unopened.... Don't want to risk getting sick
omg sameee , i wouldn't usually do dumpster diving but sometimes i happen to see so many useful things being thrown out at the void deck , but i don't dare taking the food back home unless if it's canned food but i haven't done it before tho
Food waste is really a big issue. Organizations such as Food Bank NT in Australia is trying to talk with big companies such as coles and woolworths to donate or sell food/items that have shorter life spans at a much lower price so that low income familes can afford them.
what a lovely jobs in singapore done by daniel
Daniel is really doing an excellent job by collecting thrown away food, sorting it and giving to needy. This really requires courage to dothis work without feeling ashamed.On the contrary people throwing away extra food should be shown such videos so they realize that throwing such good food is criminaĺ and they learn to order only sufficient food
#*-'+
Dumpster diving is so common even in US ... for me it's ok if you feel that the items you took is in good shape...it just needed a courage to do it in a country that some people are judgementals
This is why my grandma loves trash bins cuz u can find so many stuff that can still be used😂
What a unique approach to waste management....don't know why but Daniel seems very wise man to me.
Dude has a cast iron stomach even the homeless cat wouldn’t eat the tomatoes...
Very resourceful.
This guy must have a one hell of a stomach
His immune system has gotten lots of exercise.
Ikr! People with weak immune system or intestines should NEVER try
It is fine if you want to eat those food from dumpster yourself, but please don't give them to others without letting people know where the food come from, it is bad if they get sick without any clue by eating your donated food.
AGREEMENT100
The most important sense after the sense of sight is the sense of taste. If it tastes offensive, it will poison you. Essential for survival.
wow that's a v good idea😮
1:55 " those foods are mineow! How dare you eat them! Hissss!!"
💚 I also have been a dumpster diver and so have most of my friends!
I would like to tell Daniel one thing he should bring an awareness install a refrigerator and a cupboard alongside tell those damp the good eatables in dustbin,pur it in such refrigerators and clothes or anything other items in shelves, I think it would a better idea. Hope my idea reaches him.
All the very best. 👍
Take note: some of the disposed items are from decreased... you would not want to pick them up and use it.
There are reasons why people throw away furniture in govt housing estate: 1) Chinese especially believe that everything must be new when moving to new house 2) BTO flats are smaller so not enough space for big furniture, I hv donated my good conditioned armchair to salvation army when I downgraded, 3) when they sold their bigger flat & downgraded so they made a tidy sum of the proceeds & throw away stuff to declutter etc. I hv witnessed it all. I'hv a friend who threw away brand new electrical appliances (gifts from friends) still in their boxes when they moved out of their condo. As for food stuff, need to be careful.
Your too kind 🙏
I agree...always leave the place tidier than before when u do the dumster diving..unfortunately it doesnot happen in my area...it becomes worst..haish..they just throw garbages every where..really stress
Like the idea
"It's _probably_ safe to eat"
the cockroach on the tomato thoo...
Thats super digusting yucks
I think when it comes to food, the risk isn't worth your health. You never know what happened to that food prior to being chucked out
0.59 cant u see the pole of the umbrella is bent
I would do this if there is no such thing as FOOD POISONING
Good tanks u for the food
God bless u.
I think we should do something to educate or mandate business (all businesses, from SMEs, MNCs, down to the hawkers and retailers) to be socially responsibile in the process of doing business - that includes honesty, proper disposal of waste or giving their rejected products that can still be used to charities.
so sorry, but I can never eat his food after watching this clip. applause his motivation, but it is just not safe to consume dumpster food.
Serenity Tan I wonder this time round with the wuhan virus, is he still doing the same thing
@@hayleytan4604 corona for him
Imagine knowing your financial planner is more focus on rubbish than your portfolio.
A good man👍
Eating chicken out off the trash? I’m impressed that they are not dead already from food poisoning. What a jerk not sharing it with the cat!
he is the cat
We don't want stray animals if we can help it.
There's this thing called cooking. Most food born illnesses can be avoided by simply boiling them and then cooking them as you would normal food, some people even do it with roadkill but that's too extreme for me.
This is how hoarder began their hoarding
Food waste is the most ridiculous problem we humans have created.
Wah like true sia! I also dont get it! like recently i found a good and reusable sofa at my house dumpster there! And like haha since my sofa kinda spoiled my dad took some parts of it to fix our sofa!
He should come to Punggol and he will be shocked. The residents living at my hdb block throw away FURNITURE all the time esp during festive seasons. 90% of those thrown are in good if not as good as NEW condition. Ive seen a few cupboards and tables that has literally no marks or stains on it and i can tell its very expensive with good quality. Never understood why would they wanna throw them away when they spend so much to buy it. They also like to throw away other stuff in good condition too
Old sofas and furniture has bugs u know right?
it's better then throwing it away...
had you ever hear of bed bug...
I bet u guys dint know u could call professional pest control for ur bug infested furniture right??which is still cheaper than getting a new ones
Especially bedbugs
This is crazy
Interesting :)
I never die hunger if daniel become my neighbour
singapore is clean like japan... if you know where to look then its ok...
In Australia it is actually illegal. I'm surprised Singapore hasn't outlawed it.
Bed bugs guys bed bugs
carousell is the best way to get rid of your stuffs
Ebay too
But very hard to sell clothes, households r easy to sell! The problem is the crazy trollers lurking in there
he legit just showed up outside my house just now
what do i do
help
i treasure my trash i swear
He can start his own start shop
how to join him.. great exercise.
Guys, u know what is the new trend now hahaha, seen youtubers do this kind of dumpster diving vids
you lucky, man. in singapore people don't spit to their trash bin. here, you are lucky if you can find those kind of trash bin
Which country u from?
"Your trash,his treasure"
For real?
maganda yan, extremely maganda yan!!!, nagiipon😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I am the Turkish version of Mr. Daniel
People throw away stuffs because they have too many stuffs. They want to declutter.
Did he ate a banana that he founs
Anyways, Singapore is not very good with its waste management cos we burn everything! Japan has excellent waste and recycling management. Foreign companies who fail to have good recycling habits will get penalised in japan. And thus impacted on their waste management very positively. I think Singapore has a long way to go cos we are very poor with our recycling programme
I wouldn’t dare go dumpster driving but I’ll try to to help the environment some other ways.
u can dumpster dive for toys or items in useable condition. food is one to be very careful
Dumpster diver turns into hoarder
CNA might as well disable all comments on ALL videos if they’re gonna do it to the majority of them. Dumb
This the result of Marie Condo-ing your house and “Minimalism”. All these unsustainable impulse throwing away of items is very upsetting. I wish people practise more conscious when purchasing stuff, and not be so wasteful. He’s definitely not picking up trash, he’s picking up your misused/underused stuff. Together with issues like fast fashion it’s really not helping at all. How I wish people have started earning lesser and cherish their things a little more. Just because we have the financial ability, doesn’t mean we should be wasteful.
Pls donate, share or give away your items. You can donate bookshelves to shelters, old unwanted furnitures to manufacturing company. As for perishable items like food, pls set up a giveaway. If you have food items lying around and have no more interest in eating them, pls give them away. There are Ppl who are struggling out there.
Little things like books, stickers stationeries, that clothing you’ve been letting it collecting dust, just give them away dont throw it away.
Lastly, reusing your stuff is also key, you can reuse clothing as rags to clean your house.
Lol this is what I do so I can buy ysl wyatt hahahaha
In indonesia( east java) people like this call "rosok"
no one care u idiot
Martin Lee Kids like you shouldn't be on TH-cam
Martin Lee, thanks where are u from maybe we can take a coffe?
BestNZGamer ! U too i
Andika Riska tukang rombeng
I dumpster dive for usable stuff like DVD Games not food though it's just disgusting
James Lee not when it's unopened food with 1 month before its expiry date
Go broke...no food no water about to die of hunger and then see if you still think the same way.
Lil tay’s father
Human scavengers lol
seriously guys, when is anybody gonna admit that this guy needs help.
Is that how government wants us to live
It work on rich country. My country Indonesia do not have valuable trash.
halim fusianto imagine smelly garbage juice from garbage truck dripping on the street 😨
@@askeemee6530 what abt Jakarta? There r alot of rich pple in jakarta right?
eww the food wat if people never wash hand or saliva etc go in leh ? you never know . or
Don't throw away food just because is expired srsly are you ok so is like telling us to keep the food and let it rot there's a reason for an expiry date so that people don't fall sick through the consumption of decomposed food
Honestly people waste some real useful stuff
Who’s here after watching Nas Daily 1 minute video on this ?
Me!
🙋🏻♀️
i see....................................................
No offence but not smelly Meh?
lol
Hahahahaha bloody hell
I'm a child which does this, when the prospect of income is there, you really would'nt care about the smell and you get used to it, but sometimes you find stuff like a sofa set to sell and money.
I'm a dumpster diver I usually dive for electronics but I can tell you it stinks!
its quite normal in 3rd world country :D
zxhade but singapore isn't a third world country
*first world
They throw away clean things , every 3rd world people would be happy if they have their trash.
Like how muricas rich neighborhood throw away some good condition gadgets casually
it's scavenging
Haha you can't do this in 3rd world country. Because people there will not throw things that still hold values even almost ruined food.
Yuck
Soon enough he will collecting many many stuffs untill there's no more room left in his apartment...lol...just take whatever you need man, dont collect useless thing for yourself..waste of space
Then he starts cluttering those stuffs at the corridor and lift lobby / staircase landing outside his flat. It'll get more and more and voila! We have a new young hoarder in the make to the annoyance of his neighbors.
@@cloudyday1617 its a mental sickness..
I believe this is what they call hoarding lol
I seriously thought that Singapore's trash segregation system is effective. That's why food items stay with food items, etc. Although he still potentially could get sick, it's not as bad as what we have in our country (Philippines). You really want to watch something disgusting?
Try watching documentaries about Filipino Food Scavengers. I guarantee you, this guy is doing 1000x better than them.
I saw multiple videos of them! But as compared to japan's, Singapore has a long way to go bc all our rubbish ends up getting burned, and our recycling system is very lacking
Seen this before on you tube.reuse and recycle.
gross
Ok, HE Is A Financial PlaNner And he IS Digging For Trash, SEriaOusly meh??
Ya some rich people very stingy want u know. Always want free stuff. 4:58, he gave stuff to landed property pple
🤮🤮🤮

Wtf, can’t imagine if i were you 🤮
luckily I born in rich family.
It's not that he doesn't have money lol
Not everyone are rich as you
