Free: All time
Technically speaking, Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. But for most, freegans are mostly associated with dumpster diving. Dumpster divers forage others’ garbage to obtain useful goods including food. The community functions in knowing the throwaway culture of today encourages people to constantly replace older goods with new ones, and retailers do high-volume product disposal as part of their economic model. So these “garbage” tend to be in near-perfect condition, and the food entirely edible. Freegans tend to dumpster dive as a group and the communities can be found all around the world.
