Looking for dumpster divers

For a documentary film project on foodwaste we are trying to contact
dumpster divers in The Netherlands (specially in Amsterdam and Leiden) who
could show us how dumpster diving in the Netherlands is. Are there any people in Casa Robino interested in taking us on a dumpster diving tour?

At the End of June we will be in the Netherlands and we are desperately looking for dumpster divers that we can meet then! (Between 30. June and 2. July) Please contact us! Here you can see who we are and what we do:

Introducing: Colorado (chocolate factory dumpster diving, armed drug dealers, strange encounters and the unlikely)

The time: mid April, I’m hitching from Texas to Chicago to meet my Czech friend, Roman. We’ll be hitchhiking together through the Midwest to the west coast, San Francisco to be specific, where we’ll split.

A week later.
Morning, Roman and I are trying to get to Colorado. We’ve spent last night camping under a bridge, in a small town in the middle of nowhere, Wyoming. Now we’re trying to get the hell out of there.

Skip Diving Expedition Tomorrow (Saturday)?

Kind Ragamuffins,
As bicycle taxi work seems to take an eternity to begin, I would like to propose a skip diving day tomorrow (saturday 5th march) before my restless feet begin to burn holes in the ground..and I have a new bike..so new it scares me..a foolish decision, but a bike nonetheless..

Living With Less. Documentary with Casa people

Living with Less ("Leven met minder") is a short movie made to show alternatives to excessive consumption and is now broadcasted in Amsterdam for free. It features three story-lines, an organic farm, two professional sportsmen and casa divers.

You can see the movie in the center of the city at Leidseplein inside the restaurant in the Stadsschouwburg (the large building facing the square, see map)

Eat Moldy Foods!

I thought there was mold on my mushrooms (can mold even grow on a fungus?), so I asked google.

It said, "http://www.fsis.usda.gov/FactSheets/Molds_On_Food/"

Thoroughly impressed that the US Government had recommendations about which foods are OK to eat, even if they are moldy, I said "whoa! The Casa needs to know about this for dumpster-diving!" ^ So if you care about dumpsterdam, check it out ^

Then I realized that the slippery American feds still hadn't resolved my fungus dilema... So I asked the Canadians.

A sense for dumpsters

A night at the east side casa. Dear lord, our last bunch of green beans..no..wait..we'll find others later..but Robin's super spicy reactionary concoction again dissipates our 16th or 70th box of beans from the skip plunging from the week previous. Buckets of tea.
Miss Brown has no brakes, turning out onto the main road. A bakery to the left.
STOP STOP STOP!
Miss Brown doesn't stop.
Swing out to a skid.
I spotted it on the way here.
Come come come!
A skip full of bread. Turkish flat bread! Bread bread bread!

Australian trash

Greetings from Melbourne.
I’m staying at an amazing little squat and the kidz here are very much into dumpster diving.
We went out for multiple diving yesterday and I thought it’s an interesting piece of info to share (I also told them about trashwiki and maybe they can pour some relevant information in).
First dumpster diving was the market. Very similar to Amsterdam – tons of fruit and veg.
Second diving was in a bakery, baguettes, loafs of bread.
Final diving was at the big supermarket chains, we stopped by several of them and this was the most interesting one.
