SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL FOR MORE "GREEN" & Sustainable Living. Just click here: http://bit.ly/1h210hc Tiffany Paige of Green With Tiffany had the unusual experience and privilege of meeting the incredible Rob Greenfield. He took me in a Cars 2 Go to go dumpster diving at a local grocery store. This was my first dumpster dive and it is to raise awareness about just how much food is thrown away in our country. 165 billion pounds annually, to be exact. We talk about what Rob has seen on his travels in different dumpsters and about the truth behind expiration dates. We gather our goods to make a dumpster smoothie. Rob also gives me a quick tutorial on his home composter. Rob is constantly on the go finding ways to live more sustainability and raise awareness. You can find out more about Rob at http://robgreenfield.tv This is not to promote dumpster diving this is about not to putting the food in the dumpster in the first place and finding alternatives and solutions.

    @ckeefe43110 years ago It scares me so much to see rob getting into a dumpster with no shoes on! What about glass, needles, nails? Too risky! I dove a case of flip-flops last week and i feel like sending it to rob lol. 2

    @DerangedLeftWingers5 years ago Taking trash fromdivingin itself is notillegal. A united states supreme court ruling in 1988 (california vs. Greenwood) conc trash left outside a store is a part of the public domain. This means that other people likedumpster diversare free to take it. Even if your city allows dumpster diving, there are additional actions that stores and law enforcement can take to discourage it.
    littering: its best to keep a dumpster looking cleaner than you left it. Not only is this common courtesy, but its the law. Leaving behind a garbage mess is one of the fastest and easiest ways for you to overstay your visit land yourself in hot water.
    disorderly conduct: as always, be polite and respectful of others around you. Causing a ruckus is never a good thing while dumpster diving. Dont block sidewalks or alleys with your car. If youre asked to leave by a store employee, manager, or anyone for that matter, kindly obey their orders. Its not worth getting into a verbal confrontation and having the police show up when there are plenty of other dumpsters to dive at.
    trespassing: most dumpsters are fair game. However, if you see a dumpster inside a fenced enclosure with a no trespassing sign or a dumpster leaning against the side of a building, immediately leave and find another one. Those garbage bins are not a part of the public domain meaning that you can be charged for trespassing. You only want to go for public dumpsters

    @r3dzuan8 years ago I guess some food of the same type does differ on their expiry period. Big size potato can withstand a long period of time than the small one. Its the law tht force supermarkets to throw away edible food. 1
