How to Dumpster Dive in New York City


(PG-13 language) Comedian and documentarian Jeff Seal demonstrates how to eat for free in NYC by dumpster diving (while calling out businesses for throwing out tons of perfectly good food).

“For many, the term “dumpster diving” evokes stomach-turning images of half-moldy rolls and recently-expired tuna salad snatched from the mouths of gnawing rats. But as many sophisticated urban survivalists know, there is an extraordinary amount of perfectly good, even gourmet, food set out every night in sanitary bags outside city delis, bakeries, restaurants, and supermarkets. The video above shows just how easy and clean the process of scoring great free food can be.”
