I am a supporter of Freeganism, but I would like someone to accompany me on my first dumpster dive. I live in Central New Jersey, but I would be willing to go to Northern New Jersey, as it seems that there are some good places to dive in Teaneck based on the Freegan website . If anyone wants to be a guide for a first timer, let me know!
Good tips: Wear galoshes. Or steal some from a dumpster early on. Or take them off a homeless person. Theny make it easier wading through the grosser dumpsters. Also, why stop at dumpsters? The sewers have tons of reclaimable items in them. People are just flushing useful stuff away!
