@@grabitfast When you dumpster dive... YOU should have a friend with you as a LOOK OUT THEIR ARE PEOPLE KILLING PEOPLE ""FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON"" IS IT WORTH IT ?
Be wary of food recalls because I don't believe that they are telling you the truth! This is all done to create food shortages! Some of the recalls are not for health reasons.

You can thank the threat of a lawsuit if someone gets sick or dies and it can be proven that they died or got sick because of eating theft food.I worked in a food distribution company for 21 years and you wouldn't believe the amount of food we threw away! They wouldn't let us employees have any of it and they didn't give the food to pantries because the owner of our company was afraid he'd get sued@

Amazing finds!! You have a kind heart restocking that blessing box. Your efforts will benefit many others in these difficult times 👍Greetings from Queensland Australia!
Take that anger and focus it on the homeless scum bags who sued places like Big lots of food poisoning. It is why it goes in the trash. For some time these places were boxing expired food into boxes and handed it out to homeless. A few of them ended up suing and won big money. So now by law everything must go into the trash. They tried doing a good thing to help the community out. It only took 2 bad seeds who got sue happy to ruin the whole system for everyone. So now when homeless get stuff out of the dumpster they can not sue for food poisoning. It is just assumed the homeless will get the stuff out of the dumpsters. I had to learn this the hard way. I lost my job over giving homeless people food that was suppose to be thrown away. I asked why I was being fired and I was told why things have to be like this. Losing a job at the time I did made me homeless. The irony of it all is staggering. As no good deed goes unpunished. From the outside it looks very wasteful. I wish I would have known about this before hand. Otherwise I wouldn't have tried to help. I was told ignorance was no excuse and I could have costed the company millions of dollars. So I was shown the door.
On the South Coast in NSW Australia, we have established a community store. It survives on donations by charity and donations by local businesses. You spend 5 dollars worth of food which is very low cost and you receive fruit and veg for free. Similar deals throughout store. It is very busy right now in this despised area. The point is that stores donate, vetted by workers and supported by outperform mayor.
That is so awesome! I recently discovered a church in town that has a “thrift store” set up but they give everything away for free and to who ever comes in…that’s what I like about it is it doesn’t discriminate based on even need…and they put out whatever they get donated including things for the home and hygiene products that aren’t opened etc..the thrift stores in town have all gotten way too greedy and price things so high they’re losing business and rightly so….their merchandise is donated and yet they still overprice so it’s good to see and hear about new ways to give to the communities around
I love that you finally got yourself a score , and thank you for thinking of others that are struggling around you and giving them food , God bless you.
The reasons restaurants don't give away food that they are just going to throw away is because if someone gets sick they will sue the restaurant for trying to do something nice. Plus there are charities you can donate left over food to.
So glad you did this, what a waste, and with predicted food shortages you have done a kindness to humanity. Very generous of you to share with your community.
I love it when you score like that and can give to the blessing box and also take things home for your own family too. Sending good diving vibes from Teeside in the North East of England 🇬🇧UK.🖤🖤🖤
I watch all these dumpster divers & never once until this video have I saw someone fill a free roadside pantry. You brought tears to my eyes because of filling it full. With today's prices we might all need to do this, cost of food is getting ridiculous. Poverty is getting greater, people going hungry & we're supposed to be the LAND OF PLENTY. You are so "paying it forward" & your blessed because your blessing others. I think of families w/children that comes to that pantry will feel like you put bricks of gold in there. God Bless You!!!

It's against state inspection and company policy is why because idiots go dumpster diving, break a leg and sue the store. Or eat the product, get sick and sue the store. We had to put locks on our dumpsters because idiots broke their legs dumpster diving and sued us. Stop blaming the companies and instead blame the dumpster divers.
Christin S. Shut ur trap. The corporations are the sole reason many ppl are poor and hungry today. The corporations took out the mom and pop stores who could sell for lower prices and also would give away goods to ppl who needed it. Now you only got a Walmart an a bunch of ppl who hate their job and hate ppl.
@@christins.1481 How about blame the court system for allowing frivolous lawsuits? A couple of bad people shouldn't make it morally acceptable to waste so much food.
Thank you for taking the time to do this for the poor and homeless. Actually, it doesn't matter who eats the food as long as it doesn't go to the dump. The store should have boxed this up and donated it to the Salvation Army or like kind. You now have two new subs. I showed this to my son and he joined as well.
Yes they should have. I worked for a grocery store for years, and we did donate all the dented and imperfect boxes and cans etc to the food bank. Hundreds of dollars worth every night. I rang it all up so they knew how much to claim.
Those are expensive goodies at the grocery stores. They’re just throwing it at the dumpster. Soooo sad😮 good thing you were able to saved them.🙏 thank you.
Thank you for teaching your son that there are many less fortunate people out there that need help. That giving box is a great idea. But do the people that are taking from the box know the food and other items are coming from dumpsters. I love your sons enthusiasm. This is the first time I've seen one of your videos.
Bless you for filling the cabinet with food for those in need! It’s unbelievable how much food was tossed out. I used to dumpster dive many years ago as we had nothing at the time, but never found that much food tossed out like that. It’s so unbelievable and makes me question why they didn’t give it in person to a food bank or a church for hampers or something to help people in need. Peace ✌🏽 ❤🙏🏼🪔🤟🏽
I work in retail, and I see a lot of people don't know how all of this food ends up in the trash. #1. It's expired. It's no longer safe to eat. I saw he was not checking expiration dates on the boxes. #2. All customer returns that are consumables must be damaged out due to the risk of tampering. #3. Recalled items. #4. Damaged in transit- box got soaked with a chemical from a tote that leaked above it. If it's dried, you might not be able to tell that a package of flour got doused in isopropyl alcohol. #5. Improper storage or power outages leading to items being stored at unsafe temperatures. Bottom line: you have absolutely no idea why those items were put there. This really isn't safe. My workplace does donate items to minimize wastage. If we have food in the dumpster, it is for a good reason.
this is an amazing thing you do for people, just hope you clean and sanitize each item as you never know what bacteria etc the outside of those items are exposed to once they contact the dumpster!
Word of advice, Check for Recalls on food product. I work at a major food distribution center and have to sometimes throw large quantities of product out because of a recall. Recalls can be because of E-coli, salmonella, or even manufacturing contamination...
When my friend and I were hitching around the country in '71, the California Safeway dumpsters were a veritable bounty of food. Kept us from returning to Boston for quite a while.
You are a good soul. Many many years ago we were homeless and survived on dumpster diving. We always shared our haul with others in our traveling community. Its the right thing to do.
What a great idea, like those little 'libraries' some people have! Always amazes me how much food waste goes on in this country (even if this stuff is probably considered more "food" than anything). Great job!
Yes the blessing boxes and little libraries are so good! I travel full time and carry a travelling library with books, dvds, and cds. So at different stops I can place it outside, sit by it, read, and meet and share with others. Sometimes it is darn near empty and other times it's too full!
I work at a Big Lots and all of our expired food items get donated to a local charity. It's actually the store managers job to set up donations with the local charities so when you find expired food like this in a Big Lots dumpster...that is a manager of that particular location dropping the ball and not doing their job. This is also why we have high food prices nationwide...if the manager did things properly, those items are written off as a donation and the company doesn't lose money on it and the food doesn't go to waste so everyone wins. We also can't throw anything like expired over the counter medications in the dumpster either, those have to be shipped elsewhere for disposal because its medical waste so if you ever find anything like that in a dumpster at any retailer...call them out on it.
Such a great haul!!! Thank you for taking the time to organize the blessing box. It not only helps make more room, but also makes it much easier for the people who come to use it find the food better and gives them a little respect that you care! I enjoy all of your videos, keep them coming.
When I was in school I worked in a grocery store and a bank of freezer displays failed. The managers told us to throw everything away-- "But", we protested, "It's all still frozen, it's fine". Manager "No, throw it away, too much legal liability". I think I fed my entire dorm for more than a week when I put the word out.
I WORKED for Big Lots...organized a Food Drive from our store to the local radio station that was filling a Bus for the Food Bank...Worked at a SECOND Big Lots and eventually got them to donate to the local Food Movers Company...But until we did donate...I would do "trash" so I could throw snacks over the fence behind the store to the Day Care...lol And I love Love LOVE filling the Blessing Boxes :)
So happy to see you're back. I love your videos. You save so much food and share with others. I once was food insecure with two small children. I relied on people like you to help out. Now we try and give back every chance we get. Keep up the good work!
I once was waiting for my tires to be mounted and for hell of it I looked into a dumpster behind a store that closed and found a ladder worth $400 in mint condition.
I be trying to tell everybody, these huge corporations, companies whatever waste sooooo much food. Like soooo SOOO SOOOOO much I worked in multiple fast food restaurants, and grocery stores. It always hurt my heart to throw food out after counting them for closing reports. It all can be donated. Idk why they don’t. So cruel…
All of this proves that there are enough resources in our society to make sure nobody should be living in poverty. And before someone says "you gotta earn it", or that it's all just bad choices in life, listen: It doesn't matter who you are, you can find yourself in this situation any time. Who are you going to blame then? Not yourself, because nobody tries to live in poverty. Everyone deserves food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, and amenities. Everyone CAN have that, if billionaires and corporations weren't so greedy. Also, respect to this guy. Serving his community!
I'm an elementary school teacher, and I spend over 250 dollars a month on food, supplies, clothing, books, donations and more for my students and their families. To live in the "greatest country of all time"and to still be throwing out nutrients while depleting resources is prehistoric and inexcusable .
This is beyond disgusting. They throw all this food away when there’s people literally starving right here in America. I’m sure there are more people that would volunteer to give this out to the homeless. These companies wouldn’t have to spend a dime to do it. Much love to you brother ✊🏾
You are absolutely right, it should be illegal to throw away food; instead of giving it to the needy, it’s being thrown away…so much waste in this country
All that food and the beverages could easily be donated to a food bank, shelter or a non - profit to benefit so many people . Such a waste in these bins. Thank you for finding this food and saving a trip to the landfill . Right now good insecurity is a very serious problem throughout our world.
Just subscribed before this video ended. I’m glad you have a big free blessing pantry for all to get. That will help those who just need food they can’t afford right now. I’ll definitely watch and catch up on your videos. Keep it up! Thanks!
I love it when you are able to fill the blessing box! You get so excited when you are able to donate, warms my heart, you are a good guy Brandon, you really are. You'll always have a fan in me!
I'm very glad that my local Walmart (not American, we don't call it Walmart here but it's Walmart owned) take items which are about to go off and give them to local food charities instead of tossing them out in the garbage. It's commonplace for the bigger stores in my area to have shopping carts with a donate sign on it right on the other side of the check outs to make donating food convenient for people with less time so they can throw a few cans or boxes in right after paying for their stuff, and they take that whole cart as well as food which is not being bought and is about to go off and donate it to charities for the homeless, food banks and other shelters/housing facilities for people who are trying to get back on their feet. These donate carts are oftentimes almost overflowing with goods, I don't think I've seen a time where it's been almost empty with nothing in it. My community is one that's extremely pro-active with charities, especially food banks, in fact it's difficult to find a food bank with open volunteering positions because people are really quick to apply for them to help out. I've rarely seen homeless people, but on the off chance that I had I've always seen them approached by multiple random strangers asking if they need something to eat/drink, a blanket etc. As much as I hate my country, videos like this make me really appreciate the genuine nature of the community that I live in.
The trouble is, the way the law works if anyone gets sick on any of this food, the supermarket will have their arse sued. I worked for a major airline caterer for 30 years and they threw out so much food it was obscene. Often flights would be cancelled and they had hundreds of bread rolls they would throw out as well as all the food that had been prepared. When asked why, the company would simply say they were afraid of any legal ramifications. Even charities like Salvation Army would not take left over or near use-by foods because even they were afraid of being sued in case of food poisoning. I don't blame the supermarkets for throwing this stuff out, it's simply a legal issue. Yes, a lot of needy people can benefit but no one wants to take a risk.
You go youngster!! That's called taking care of business for yourself and your family. I'd would only take items that have their seal intact and nothing that the air escapes from when squeezed but I'd take it ALL and leave no mess behind!! Hew Wee, what a lucky haul!!!😊😊😊😊
this man just hit the jackpot lol. glad to see it goes to donations for needy families. when i used to work at burger king years ago, i remember us having to tally up the unused cooked food and then toss it out tot he dumpster. two homeless men would always chill near and got to know the managers. the camera's would have to watch us take it to the dumpster but the two men knew exactly what was going on lol and what time to dive.
First time one of your videos was in my feed, entertaining watch! 👍 The whole time I watched this I kept thinking how funny it would be if there was a RUclips channel with Ricky, bubbles and Julian from trailer park boys where they searched dumpsters. Ricky would search, bubbles would be the lookout and Julian would stand there sipping 😂
As I was watching you toss all that food in your car I was hoping you would do something like that at the end, either give it to homeless or those in need or drop it off at a food pantry! Good job and nice work!
It’s amazing what is thrown away, reminds me of my college days when I was so poor I dumpster dove anywhere and everywhere, I don’t think I would have made it through college without, not everyone who goes to college has money.
In the early 90's I would dumpster dive with my friend. We would go for about an hour and fill fill his station wagon and help feed around 30 people twice a week until the cops got wise. Yes wasting food should be illegal.
This type of waste has been going on for decades in The States. The employees are actually trained to sully the containers so no one can come along and do what this guy did. So, someone's employees aren't doing their job. Allegedly, giving the items away creates a liability for the company. smh.
As a guy that empty’s these dumpsters daily for my job the stuff I find is absolutely incredible!! Just know depending on the state it is illegal to dumpster dive.
I don't think throwing out expired food should be illegal but they should have to put it in a separate dumpster or something. Or be forced to donate it to food banks or something.
I know sometimes they have reasons to throw that stuff out. Most the time it is due to recalls due to something wrong with the product and can be dangerous when consuming.
I used to walk behind strip centers as a kid, I would peek inside dumpsters and see them full of brand new products in their packaging. Dumpsters full of food, electronics, books etc.. Back then I could only carry so much.
I want to dumpster dive!!! I couldn't believe the stuff you found. But I was touched by your kind deed in filling up the community pantry. U R Awesome 😊❤
I used to work at a Big Lots and I can testify that they throw a lot of things out that don't necessarily need to be thrown out. They used to have me destroy things so that they'd be useless to dumpster dive for.
Blows my mind how much companies waste when people need so much of this. Great finds! Meanwhile groceries are so expensive cant even afford to always buy them
I am super happy you find all these things for your family and you donate, I have no money as it is, to buy food, to see this makes me sick that companies throw away so much..
This stuff gets thrown away because it's easier for management than having someone from a food bank show up to take it. When I was in Junior High, we got Dominos Pizza every day for lunch. I saw them throw out 50 boxes of untouched pizza. Why? Two reasons. 1. The Head Cook didn't want to get in trouble for ordering WAY too much food and have their budget cut. 2. The head cook didn't want to wait for a food bank to show up and collect the pizzas. She wanted to hurry up and go home. It wasn't too uncommon to see our school janitor walk out to his car with a square-shaped trashbag. Tip for people still in school: help your school cooks with taking out trash. The cooks would sometimes give us leftovers that they would have had to throw away. One time, they gave us an entire cardboard box full of footlong hotdogs. Looking back, I wished I would have brought a bag to take some of that home with me.
Thank you for giving back You sir have a heart of gold That was so much food I can’t believe they just throw it out. Churches except donations for people in need . You’re making a huge difference and I don’t care what anyone else says. Some countries eat real rotten food that makes it to them from our landfills it’s heartbreaking
@@ourcreativebeehive - In Germany we have a service were the expired stuff is send to a local collection place, there all the expired or nearly expired food lands and there the poor people can get this for very a low amount of money. We call this expiring date "Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum" ... this means the product is good for at least this time, but possibly longer too. Right now this service is used extensively, they must send people home because they do not have enough. People get food cards, they can come only once a week to get something. People are standing there in long lines from early in the morning to get something at 12 o'clock.
This is still better than the alternative. I worked at a TJ Maxx in H.S. and they had snacks that were WAY expired, and kept them on the shelf. And they were all really weird, gross snacks that no one would buy in their right mind.
My first 3 jobs was retail grocery stores are wasteful ASF I know some is cause of recalls but a good majority isn't they waste more food then the citizens do but we get blamed for food waste makes sense
Thanks!

American food regulations and rules retails have to follow. They can't even donate. Sad.
The food they throw away is out dated. So it's a liability issue to give it away.
The reason that they can't give to the hungry is because people were suing them for ridiculous reasons and now they can't give anything away.
It's probably all outdated
These videos are easily faked. Because the real dumpster diving are the likes and subs. To make a channel out of this you need consistency in content.
Absolutely love the fact that you donate this food where it is needed most. Congrats on being a great human!
We need more of your sort. Super! Love you, man! 🫶. May the Lord keep blessing you and your loved ones!

Sweet ride,got nervous when you were chucking the stuff in the trunk😮 Great job,you are awesome ❤ Stay safe and healthy 😊
Thank you!! Yea I should have threw the Gatorade in first 😂
I wanted to come help you in that moment. Glad to see the doritos survived..lol
Some people don’t care that it could be expired because they are starving. The people living on the streets in tents would love to have it too.
What a great idea, like those little 'libraries' some people have! Always amazes me how much food waste goes on in this country (even if this stuff is probably considered more "food" than anything). Great job!
Yes the blessing boxes and little libraries are so good! I travel full time and carry a travelling library with books, dvds, and cds. So at different stops I can place it outside, sit by it, read, and meet and share with others. Sometimes it is darn near empty and other times it's too full!
It wouldn't be a bad idea to make a travelling blessing box as well 😊
I work at a Big Lots and all of our expired food items get donated to a local charity. It's actually the store managers job to set up donations with the local charities so when you find expired food like this in a Big Lots dumpster...that is a manager of that particular location dropping the ball and not doing their job. This is also why we have high food prices nationwide...if the manager did things properly, those items are written off as a donation and the company doesn't lose money on it and the food doesn't go to waste so everyone wins. We also can't throw anything like expired over the counter medications in the dumpster either, those have to be shipped elsewhere for disposal because its medical waste so if you ever find anything like that in a dumpster at any retailer...call them out on it.
Love watching the blessings boxes getting filled so satisfying x
Your channel came up randomly on RUclips. I was glad to see that the food you find was donated to a free food box…THANK YOU!!
Such a great haul!!! Thank you for taking the time to organize the blessing box. It not only helps make more room, but also makes it much easier for the people who come to use it find the food better and gives them a little respect that you care! I enjoy all of your videos, keep them coming.
When I was in school I worked in a grocery store and a bank of freezer displays failed. The managers told us to throw everything away-- "But", we protested, "It's all still frozen, it's fine". Manager "No, throw it away, too much legal liability". I think I fed my entire dorm for more than a week when I put the word out.
Thank you for sharing your content and keeping it real! ❤😊
Thank you so much inga!
I WORKED for Big Lots...organized a Food Drive from our store to the local radio station that was filling a Bus for the Food Bank...Worked at a SECOND Big Lots and eventually got them to donate to the local Food Movers Company...But until we did donate...I would do "trash" so I could throw snacks over the fence behind the store to the Day Care...lol
And I love Love LOVE filling the Blessing Boxes :)
So happy to see you're back. I love your videos. You save so much food and share with others. I once was food insecure with two small children. I relied on people like you to help out. Now we try and give back every chance we get. Keep up the good work!
I once was waiting for my tires to be mounted and for hell of it I looked into a dumpster behind a store that closed and found a ladder worth $400 in mint condition.
Did you get a new ride Brandon?? Nice whip if you did.
Awesome finds Brandon.
Congratulations on the new house as well.
Yes I did susan! We needed 2 vehicles 😎 thank you so much!
I be trying to tell everybody, these huge corporations, companies whatever waste sooooo much food. Like soooo SOOO SOOOOO much I worked in multiple fast food restaurants, and grocery stores. It always hurt my heart to throw food out after counting them for closing reports. It all can be donated. Idk why they don’t. So cruel…
Glad to see u getting a good score Brandon. Thanks for donating to Blessing Box 😊
And thank you for watching cm!
All of this proves that there are enough resources in our society to make sure nobody should be living in poverty. And before someone says "you gotta earn it", or that it's all just bad choices in life, listen: It doesn't matter who you are, you can find yourself in this situation any time. Who are you going to blame then? Not yourself, because nobody tries to live in poverty.
Everyone deserves food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, and amenities. Everyone CAN have that, if billionaires and corporations weren't so greedy.
Also, respect to this guy. Serving his community!
Seeing you find all those things was satisfying, but seeing you fill the Blessing Box to the brim was beyond satisfying! 🙏❤️
If it's outdated or is under recall that is what happens. If a store sells outdated or recalled food it can get them into big trouble.
I'm an elementary school teacher, and I spend over 250 dollars a month on food, supplies, clothing, books, donations and more for my students and their families. To live in the "greatest country of all time"and to still be throwing out nutrients while depleting resources is prehistoric and inexcusable .
This is beyond disgusting. They throw all this food away when there’s people literally starving right here in America. I’m sure there are more people that would volunteer to give this out to the homeless. These companies wouldn’t have to spend a dime to do it. Much love to you brother ✊🏾
You are absolutely right, it should be illegal to throw away food; instead of giving it to the needy, it’s being thrown away…so much waste in this country
All that food and the beverages could easily be donated to a food bank, shelter or a non - profit to benefit so many people . Such a waste in these bins. Thank you for finding this food and saving a trip to the landfill . Right now good insecurity is a very serious problem throughout our world.
Most places won't take expired food.
There is always a reason to toss it.
Just subscribed before this video ended. I’m glad you have a big free blessing pantry for all to get. That will help those who just need food they can’t afford right now. I’ll definitely watch and catch up on your videos. Keep it up! Thanks!
I love it when you are able to fill the blessing box! You get so excited when you are able to donate, warms my heart, you are a good guy Brandon, you really are. You'll always have a fan in me!
I'm very glad that my local Walmart (not American, we don't call it Walmart here but it's Walmart owned) take items which are about to go off and give them to local food charities instead of tossing them out in the garbage. It's commonplace for the bigger stores in my area to have shopping carts with a donate sign on it right on the other side of the check outs to make donating food convenient for people with less time so they can throw a few cans or boxes in right after paying for their stuff, and they take that whole cart as well as food which is not being bought and is about to go off and donate it to charities for the homeless, food banks and other shelters/housing facilities for people who are trying to get back on their feet.
These donate carts are oftentimes almost overflowing with goods, I don't think I've seen a time where it's been almost empty with nothing in it.
My community is one that's extremely pro-active with charities, especially food banks, in fact it's difficult to find a food bank with open volunteering positions because people are really quick to apply for them to help out. I've rarely seen homeless people, but on the off chance that I had I've always seen them approached by multiple random strangers asking if they need something to eat/drink, a blanket etc. As much as I hate my country, videos like this make me really appreciate the genuine nature of the community that I live in.
"OOOOHH, some dunkaroos!" 😂
The trouble is, the way the law works if anyone gets sick on any of this food, the supermarket will have their arse sued.
I worked for a major airline caterer for 30 years and they threw out so much food it was obscene.
Often flights would be cancelled and they had hundreds of bread rolls they would throw out as well as all the food that had been prepared. When asked why, the company would simply say they were afraid of any legal ramifications.
Even charities like Salvation Army would not take left over or near use-by foods because even they were afraid of being sued in case of food poisoning. I don't blame the supermarkets for throwing this stuff out, it's simply a legal issue.
Yes, a lot of needy people can benefit but no one wants to take a risk.
I've never seen that sliding door on a dumpster before. It sure makes it easy to raid without jumping inside!
Your a really good person. Wish there where more like you.
You go youngster!! That's called taking care of business for yourself and your family. I'd would only take items that have their seal intact and nothing that the air escapes from when squeezed but I'd take it ALL and leave no mess behind!! Hew Wee, what a lucky haul!!!😊😊😊😊
Yon are so awesome. Filled my heart when I saw the items going into that community bin. Bless you
Proof that NO ONE should be hungry or thirsty in the United States.
Omg I found my first loaded dumpster. What a rush. Then came home and went back out and found another one. Ty again for your inspiration
Amazing finds. You are so kind to think of others. Your donations might be all an individual has to eat. Bless you
Thank you for rescuing all that food and helping those in need !
this man just hit the jackpot lol. glad to see it goes to donations for needy families. when i used to work at burger king years ago, i remember us having to tally up the unused cooked food and then toss it out tot he dumpster. two homeless men would always chill near and got to know the managers. the camera's would have to watch us take it to the dumpster but the two men knew exactly what was going on lol and what time to dive.
First time one of your videos was in my feed, entertaining watch! 👍 The whole time I watched this I kept thinking how funny it would be if there was a RUclips channel with Ricky, bubbles and Julian from trailer park boys where they searched dumpsters. Ricky would search, bubbles would be the lookout and Julian would stand there sipping 😂
As I was watching you toss all that food in your car I was hoping you would do something like that at the end, either give it to homeless or those in need or drop it off at a food pantry! Good job and nice work!
It’s amazing what is thrown away, reminds me of my college days when I was so poor I dumpster dove anywhere and everywhere, I don’t think I would have made it through college without, not everyone who goes to college has money.
Very cool to see you donate the majority of the food. Nice work.
In the early 90's I would dumpster dive with my friend. We would go for about an hour and fill fill his station wagon and help feed around 30 people twice a week until the cops got wise. Yes wasting food should be illegal.
This type of waste has been going on for decades in The States.
The employees are actually trained to sully the containers so no one can come along and do what this guy did.
So, someone's employees aren't doing their job.
Allegedly, giving the items away creates a liability for the company. smh.
As a guy that empty’s these dumpsters daily for my job the stuff I find is absolutely incredible!! Just know depending on the state it is illegal to dumpster dive.
I don't think throwing out expired food should be illegal but they should have to put it in a separate dumpster or something. Or be forced to donate it to food banks or something.
I know sometimes they have reasons to throw that stuff out. Most the time it is due to recalls due to something wrong with the product and can be dangerous when consuming.
I used to walk behind strip centers as a kid, I would peek inside dumpsters and see them full of brand new products in their packaging. Dumpsters full of food, electronics, books etc.. Back then I could only carry so much.
You are a blessing to many people.. keep it up.. we need more people like you in this world.
Love that your filling blessing boxes. We need more people like you in this world. God bless you
I want to dumpster dive!!! I couldn't believe the stuff you found. But I was touched by your kind deed in filling up the community pantry. U R Awesome 😊❤
Bless you for your thoughtfulness and kindness.
I did the same at several stores. All sorts of chocolate, cookies, a computer, lamps, sodas. Amazing what gets tossed.
This is nice of you to go and get food in dumpsters that is still good. Than give it to those in need. Thank you for your humankindness. 😊💖💖
I’ve seen dumpster diving before but I’ve never seen a blessing box. What a generous kind thing to do. Blessings to you. 💕🤩
I used to work at a Big Lots and I can testify that they throw a lot of things out that don't necessarily need to be thrown out. They used to have me destroy things so that they'd be useless to dumpster dive for.
Sad that it goes to waste when it can all be donated. What a blessing you found all those items. Great job 👏
Blows my mind how much companies waste when people need so much of this. Great finds! Meanwhile groceries are so expensive cant even afford to always buy them
This is amazing I love that you donated some as well
I am super happy you find all these things for your family and you donate, I have no money as it is, to buy food, to see this makes me sick that companies throw away so much..
This stuff gets thrown away because it's easier for management than having someone from a food bank show up to take it. When I was in Junior High, we got Dominos Pizza every day for lunch. I saw them throw out 50 boxes of untouched pizza. Why? Two reasons. 1. The Head Cook didn't want to get in trouble for ordering WAY too much food and have their budget cut. 2. The head cook didn't want to wait for a food bank to show up and collect the pizzas. She wanted to hurry up and go home. It wasn't too uncommon to see our school janitor walk out to his car with a square-shaped trashbag.
Tip for people still in school: help your school cooks with taking out trash. The cooks would sometimes give us leftovers that they would have had to throw away. One time, they gave us an entire cardboard box full of footlong hotdogs. Looking back, I wished I would have brought a bag to take some of that home with me.
Thank you for giving back
You sir have a heart of gold
That was so much food I can’t believe they just throw it out. Churches except donations for people in need . You’re making a huge difference and I don’t care what anyone else says. Some countries eat real rotten food that makes it to them from our landfills it’s heartbreaking
Federal laws in the US prevent expired food from being sold or donated.
@@ourcreativebeehive - In Germany we have a service were the expired stuff is send to a local collection place, there all the expired or nearly expired food lands and there the poor people can get this for very a low amount of money.
We call this expiring date "Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum" ... this means the product is good for at least this time, but possibly longer too.
Right now this service is used extensively, they must send people home because they do not have enough. People get food cards, they can come only once a week to get something. People are standing there in long lines from early in the morning to get something at 12 o'clock.
so satisfying watching you fill up that free food glass cabinet
A good man he is.🙂🥰
Thank you for stocking that “Blessing Box”!
This is still better than the alternative. I worked at a TJ Maxx in H.S. and they had snacks that were WAY expired, and kept them on the shelf. And they were all really weird, gross snacks that no one would buy in their right mind.
All that food is perfectly fine that's great you're sharing man that's really kind
love that blessing pantry. more should be set out by others that could. thank you for the idea. God bless,you.
Wasting is a sin. Thanx for salvaging what you can! You're a good man!
God Bless you brother 🙏
That put a smile on my face!
God Bless him I'm tearing up" Man we need more heroes like this
My first 3 jobs was retail grocery stores are wasteful ASF I know some is cause of recalls but a good majority isn't they waste more food then the citizens do but we get blamed for food waste makes sense
In Australia we not-for-profit organisations that collect unsold/out of date food and distribute it to the needy.
