  • Erin and Dave are a newly married couple in Buffalo. They met in a dumpster.
    When they’re not working their regular gigs as a small business owner and a social worker, they forage in dumpsters and sell what they find - everything from champagne boxes to emergency vehicle sirens. With regular dumpster diving, they pull in a bunch of extra income. But can this trash money make a dream come true and buy them a boat?

      Pulling food out of a dumpster and then giving it away to people that are in need without telling them that it was in a dumpster. Am I the only one that sees something wrong in that?

    • @struckfire3337

      You know that food is one thing that homeless people never go without? People have a misunderstanding about homeless people and food. Pretty much any City in this entire country homeless and the poor are able to eat five times a day. It's so common that people give away food that homeless people literally give away a lot of the food they get because they can't eat it all. And these people are pulling food out of a dumpster and giving it to people that do not know that it came out of a dumpster. When the same people could easily go down the street and get a good meal that did not come out of a dumpster. These are terrible people I don't care what you say. They're cheap and they're literally making people eat dumpster food. If you told me this I would think that they would be charged with a crime. But here you are literally saying it's a good thing here on Vice TV? Are you kidding me?

    I worked for a supermarket for a few years and basically everyday we had to throw out good food because it was expired. Even though it was our policy that we don't allow dumpster diving (legally it's theft where I live ). I only threw out dairy/meat/eggs but I left other stuff that was still good next to the container for people like these to pick it up.

    I live on a small patch of land, we'd spend 4 days a week working normal jobs, and 3 days a week tipping, doing creative building projects on my caravan, bring loads of food to squat parties, and jabbering away at car boot sales every Sunday.
    We've been broken up for two years and i haven't really bothered with love since due to lock down and focusing on studying to be an electrician, but this left a soft spot in me and made me smile.

    I'm all for it, recycling & reusing.
