Yesterday's dumpster finds included two fishing poles, two bicycle pumps and two boxing gloves.

All in the same dumpster.

I have three good ones now, and left an okayish one on the curb for someone else to fuck with.

I wish CT would come back so I could itemize all the stuff I ate over the last month. It's pretty astounding.

Ten years experience has given me a good eye. I saw the Kindle Fire through the tall kitchen garbage bag. The shape, size and color were right.

Of course, it wouldn't have worked if the bag had been black.

Then I saw a delivery Chinese food item. It had a clear plastic top, so I could see that it was fresh and full.

I've never crossed this particular bridge before. But because it was near the top, and still warm, I knew it had just gone in.

I ate it two nights ago. Because I survived, Heather had some the next night with basmati rice I'd also found.

We enjoyed it. Cashew Kung pow chicken, I think.

I can't imagine what this information would do to CT.

My only question/observation is why would somebody throw it away unless there was something wrong with it?! You have no idea what was on or in that food you just ate. It’s in the trash for a reason.

That’s pretty nasty, to be honest.

Heather must think you’re a helluva catch for bringing her food out of the dumpster.

This is the week a lot of people flip apartments. That's part of the calculation, too.

So I'd guess that somebody ordered too much food for the last meal after wiping down the fridge and kitchen countertops.

Or maybe they didn't realize it would have a shitload of hot peppers.

The amount of food waste is astounding.

A couple of weeks ago I found a delivery box, never opened, with three meals worth of food (and recipes/instructions). Three vacuum packs of meat (one ground beef, one chicken breast, one ground pork) and potatoes, carrots, some potato buns ...

These things are delivered overnight with refrigeration packs. I find a lot of the boxes and "recyclable" bags of cooling goo. But I'd never found one completely unopened.

Lots of late night meals aren't making it to the drunks who pay for them, too. Now that we have contactless delivery, the pizza or sandwich driver leaves the food in a designated spot, texts the buyer, then leaves

But the buyer is already passed out, or fucking. I've seen whole pizzas and bags of Chipotle still outside at dawn.

Agree the amount of food waste is mind boggling when so many go to bed hungry each night.
I was on board of Feeding America local foodbank. We figured out ways to safely access and distribute product that was previously thrown away.

I don't think I would eat food out of dumpster though. Lol.

Coincidentally, because Heather was nearly crying about the food waste when she got home, and asked me what I could do to help, I started organizing.

I'd be interested in some tips.

I reached out to the guy who runs the local hard times center (I donated ten computers from my computers recycling project last year, so I already know him). I also tagged a woman from the United Way whom I e-met earlier this year. She just became an alderman in Urbana so I expect she'll have some thoughts about redistribution.

Here is link to  Eastern Illinois Foodbank. It's a really good one.

The United Way in CU area is good resource about general human service agencies. They are small, but viable. You know my agency. We have worked with them for decades.

I would have eaten that pizza. Pizza can sit out all night and be fine. Fact.

Chipotle is gross.
That's how I played it.

My kid has summer job at Chipoltes. We have leftovers sitting in our refrigerator every day. She gets a free meal every shift.
It's not bad.
