Hello everyone and welcome to the newly created Dumpster Diving community!

To start things off, break the ice, and begin building a userbase I thought we could share how we found out about dumpster diving, how we first got into it personally and how often we do it

I found out about it around eight years ago while browsing hitchhiking communities, found TrashWiki and thought it was a great way to give the middle finger to capitalism while saving some money and helping the planet!

At the moment I lived with my parents and it wasn’t really viable, but when I first moved away on my own I started doing it on a monthly basis. I wasn’t very good at it (overly careful and never found good spots) though so I ended up dropping it. My interest in it has grown again since I’m moving to a new city in the coming weeks and I’m hoping to get back into it!
