DOES THIS MAKE YOU MAD? LOOK WHAT'S IN THIS DUMPSTER

[@myrajohnson5663]

The food waste makes me Furious. However I do love the fact that y'all make the place look better when you leave. Y'all are always picking up the trash around and putting it in the dumpster kudos to you!!!!

[@cathylombard964]

In Minnesota there is an organization called Second Harvest that goes around to grocery stores and collects all the food they would normally throw away. They then distribute it to food pantries around the state and western Wisconsin.

[@WANAMASSA]

We're a very wasteful country, and it's never going to change. Pretty sad. A lot of families can use that wasted food, some of the furniture. Such a shame.

[@foxylace]

There is always a possibility of a recall on those apples. Its always good to search for recalls before taking food to be safe for yourself and others.

[@wiwiharison1084]

Feeding America would come out once/week to pick up those "discarded" foods from the store. Unfortunately, even needy employees are not allowed to pick/take anything.

[@thefirstnoob5577]

Looks like a 99 cent store near to me. There is always a dumpster full of food when I go by. I once found 15 bags of potatoes 20 bags of large limes and tons more.

[@jadaboehme5978]

Hi sn'sn we went dump diving in our area (530) northern CA) and they have these new dumpsters. They look they have have tubes into the store connected to the store!

[@StevenSteph]

Wow 😳

[@christinelabrie1430]

Wasting our Washington apples!!! Rude!!!! And so many hungry people in the US. Those apples were fine, wash em and they could have been eaten.

[@nancyimbleau1795]

I love that song you were singing St Peter would call my Name one of my Favorites they play that song on the Fish Radio station keep singing like it!

[@Danielle33384]

The food waste is something I will never understand! So at my daughter’s school they can’t just go through the line and only get what they want to eat. For example: if she only wants a muffin she has to get a juice, a milk, and a fruit. And guess what happens to the unopened juices and items? You guessed it...trash! I’ve watched bags and bags of stuff being thrown out and it just kills me! My daughter takes her juices with her home. 😂 Everyday her book bag has juice boxes in it. There’s bound to be another way to use up food. There’s plenty of animals that would eat it.

[@veronicamyers1626]

envelopes = colored paper + Sizzix + deco craft paper punches = lots of fun

[@seventhchild7270]

This food being wasted can be donated to shelters, soup kitchens, zoos, farms, etc. And/or just give them to customers.

[@bonitawauls6274]

Wasted food is allowing our citizens to die of hunger! Always makes me mad how stores do this! Homeless shelters try to feed the hungry. How about us speaking to managers and Corporate about helping their local places?

[@Jennifer62389]

Freakin Frugal would go crazy with all that food.

[@toddmiller1407]

Hey Steph and Steven, on my way home from work tonight I did my very 1st dumpster dive at Ace hardware and dollar tree. At Ace I found some screen that I needed to repair a window screen and dollar tree makeup, nail polish, bath salts. Also someone threw out personal trash in dollar trees and I got a hairdryer with all attachments (and it works) and a Barbie. Got to get a better grabbed though. Thanks for the encouragement . I will do it more.... God bless

[@elizabethlewis636]

some of our stores hand out fruit to kids while they shop with their parents

[@joditorkelson8649]

At the Dollar Store, why don’t you have Steven hold the dumpster cover open for you, or have him jump in and get the stuff.

[@AC-qi9wo]

Those, apples, are from last year crop, and they are probably getting mealy, and not very good anymore my Uncle, was a fruit farmer, in Washington state, and the apples stay in cold storage, until a store calls and asks for them.

[@M1k3yswifey]

The halloween store we go to always has 174933038392 oreo wrappers in it lol

[@dianemarcotte89]

I think your friend Katie is a very luck lady. Steph, you’re a very generous friend. So is sSeven.

[@annainohiogartin5730]

Oh that makes me sick to see so many apples.. apples do not go bad for a very long time. I am thankful to be gifted with boxes like that of fruit every few months and it makes wonderful apple sauce, apple butter, apple slices I do "Canning" and here in Ohio it's now Winter and I am enjoying all the fruits like that I was gifted. Today 2-27-2020 I was gifted a bushel of pears and 12 pineapples. Tomorrow I will be canning pineapple slices and sliced pears in Cinnamon Yum! These are all less than perfect fruit that mainstream commercial stores wouldn't want because they aren't pretty and perfect and they get donated to the food pantries I am very thankful to have it in my pantries. We had the flu last week and I had been given a lot of fresh oranges awhile back, I juiced them and froze in plastic bottles.. perfect for the Vitamin C we needed while down with the flu. Don't throw food out that can be used Corporate America. Sigh. BTW.. I will be teaching Free classes in the spring on how to Can and Preserve to low income families.

[@bostonmom9602]

The fruit... farm animals, Animal Sanctuaries. I would have loved those for my animals and could have froze the extra to feed over time. That store is so wasteful 🙁

[@bonniethiessen2569]

When my husband worked at the grocery store he took the garbage out but by passed the dumpster and put it into the car. What we didn't keep went to his sister for their chickens, ducks and geese. We had a opossum, raccoon and skunk that lived around by us that also got plenty of treats. Now that store gives left over produce to the food pantry.

[@larryhardy7928]

Bonnie Thiessen good for your hubby the world thanks him i hope everyone who has to dump stuff would do that park your cars next to dumpsters and plz keep as much as u can out of landfills ty

[@marilyn3826]

goodies! good luck diving. ttyl xoxo from Houston Texas

[@marlenekutcher938]

France past a law that any food not used in store or restaurants must be given to charity It's or soup kitchen. The fines are very high if perfectly good food is found in a dumpster. It should be the law in every country.

[@StevenSteph]

Outstanding ❤️

[@FANTABULOUSFINDS]

It is appalling! So many homeless, hungry people in our own counrty... many woman with children, elderly and VETERANS who have fought for our country yet big businesses would rather throw it in a landfill than save lives... I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND! WHAT CAN WE DO? I wish we could make it illegal to throw away perfectly good food... 😥😢 give JERRY some loving for me... I think we both need it after that... 💕🐶💕

[@brendaleewhitaker8826]

Just a tip sometimes the dumpsters in San Diego have combination locks on them an the combination is usually the address of the building they belong to it makes it easier on the trash men to get in....🍀🍀🍀🍀

God bless hoy!!

[@tammyschultz3318]

if anything, the envelops can be used as colour paper !!

[@texasismyhome1621]

The apples make me so angry,. The store could have sold those bags for 25 cents a bag and sold them.

[@amberlycreations672]

It makes me sad and mad because we had a incident happen with our bank that we were became overdrafted. All our grocery money for the week gone until we can get it refunded. So I have no milk or bread or anything fresh and these company’s just throw away food that people like me and my kids would gladly take. I wish companies would at least donate that food 😭

[@jthoen61]

Someone once did a study of how much food is thrown away by grocery stores. By the time these people went through the dumpsters, they had a huge amount of good food sitting there. It makes me mad because that food can go to food banks or someone that can use it.

[@melissastugis38]

You are right about the amount of food going to waste. Winn Dixie, Walmart, Publix, and Target throw away lots of unopened food that they can give away. Some times I be by needing food.

[@wendylouise7780]

Food regulations are strict.has to do with insurance coverage.i worked in residential kitchen and the leftover food had to be purchased and not given out/away to anyone in case of illness/poisoning etc.things are hanging slowly because now they have that gleaning program in cities now.

[@sallyhuggins108]

When there are so many people starving in the world today it is criminal the amount of food wastage there is with the big stores. We havethe same issues in England

[@melissastugis38]

The rich that owns these big corporate stores don't care about the hungry, they just care about making money.

[@lmp8932]

The food wastage is criminal, it happens here in Australia too but not quite on the scale (that I have seen). Most of the food stores around where I live have reduced price bins and I for one will buy stuff from them e.g. gluten free bread reduced from$6.69 to $1.99 because the use by date is today - it goes in the freezer. Yoghurt, vacuum packed stuff, Fruit and veg can be used the same or next day or frozen, raw or cooked. It helps keep the food bills down too if you are on a strict budget. I would've taken a few bags of apples and turned them into apple sauce or pie filling.....

[@alana7228]

Right on! 👍

[@nuttybar9]

Fried apples are good too.

[@bluewolf6359]

That’s smart !

[@wendy833]

Why not ask customers if they want a bag of apples? So weird... I'm sure an animal would eat them. Zoo, horse, pig etc

[@alanhorne5911]

that would be the sensible thing to do, but the company won't make any money doing that, because that's all they care about IS MONEY!

[@t.c6698]

Zoos, that is a fantastic idea!!!!!

[@gigiw.7650]

My SD has apple slices as a snack. On a limited income, a bag of apples would be a Godsend!

[@barbarakosloski9260]

I live in the country on 6 acres and put apples out for wildlife. I would LOVE to have bought them from you two.

[@Talian1]

I use to have chickens in my backyard. Our local grocery store would put out produce that was destined for the dumpster for people to come and get if they wanted to. We would go and get it. Whatever was not something we wanted to eat we gave to our chickens. They loved it. All the citrus we would juice and freeze in ice cube trays. I imagine with apples you can even make applesauce.

[@emilhund]

Doesn't anybody recycle cardboard and plastic in Amerika? We do it here in Sweden, we do it both in stores and at our homes.

It's a skeleton in the closet of big business.. This is the worst kind of flagrant waste 😡

[@sherribear2073]

I totally agree!

[@MacZig6]

That is just a shame!! People are hungry all over this country and they are throwing away good food, that isn't candy! Stuff that most families with multiple children, can't afford, so instead of a good piece of fruit with PB&J, they have to put a Little Debbie, that awhole box is only 99 cents! Makes me sad & angry Seven & Steph!!! Watch the documentaries about the Apalachian families in Eastern Kentucky, North Eastern Tennessee and closer like in Virginia and other Apalachian places at Christmas time, no food, coats, shoes, toys or gifts, not even a tree and 1 family with 5 or 6 kids, starving, no electricity & the fathers are working their butts off in the coal mines that are still open, for hardly enough to keep a roof over their heads!!! And these places throw all of that away?? 🙁😢😡

[@ginadean4206]

Colleen McCarthy-Zeigler it's the same here in the UK, so many families living in poverty,we have been investigated by the UN for it, so many deprived areas especially up north,, homelessness has risen by 70%

[@gerardocasas5774]

I was a produce manager at a big grocer for a long time and there is so much waste. We throw away like 10% of inventory everyday. We would always mark it all down before it went to the food bank. The only reason we would throw that much of a single item out is because of a recall.

It can get worse actually. At least here the stuff is in the bag and people can come by and just grab a few.
