At least there’s one man that is out there teaching and helping the environment and try to cut down on waste 👍🏻

I love his last line. "I hope for a day where freeganism is normal or obsolete "

[@satansthong29]

Damn daniel, back at it again with the dumpster diving.

[@shoyutea000]

1:45 sometimes I have to throw away food because it dropped on the floor and my dog ate some of it / some bug went inside and I just put it back in the packaging to throw it... don’t eat food from the trash guys...

[@jeremyemilio9378]

exactly,thats where i draw the line.house hold items or items i wont eat are ok,but nope to the rest

[@irememberla6460]

Don't actively dumpster dive but if I see something of use, I take it! Food only if it is canned or unopened.... Don't want to risk getting sick

[@revelbangtanexo2642]

omg sameee , i wouldn't usually do dumpster diving but sometimes i happen to see so many useful things being thrown out at the void deck , but i don't dare taking the food back home unless if it's canned food but i haven't done it before tho

[@webslinger2011]

Food waste is really a big issue. Organizations such as Food Bank NT in Australia is trying to talk with big companies such as coles and woolworths to donate or sell food/items that have shorter life spans at a much lower price so that low income familes can afford them.

[@japanlovely8177]

what a lovely jobs in singapore done by daniel

[@kishornatu7877]

Daniel is really doing an excellent job by collecting thrown away food, sorting it and giving to needy. This really requires courage to dothis work without feeling ashamed.On the contrary people throwing away extra food should be shown such videos so they realize that throwing such good food is criminaĺ and they learn to order only sufficient food

[@bowlampar]

It is fine if you want to eat those food from dumpster yourself, but please don't give them to others without letting people know where the food come from, it is bad if they get sick without any clue by eating your donated food.

[@littlejourney3178]

Dumpster diving is so common even in US ... for me it's ok if you feel that the items you took is in good shape...it just needed a courage to do it in a country that some people are judgementals

[@aquafishsoup]

Dude has a cast iron stomach even the homeless cat wouldn’t eat the tomatoes...

This is why my grandma loves trash bins cuz u can find so many stuff that can still be used😂

[@harshvardhankamble292]

What a unique approach to waste management....don't know why but Daniel seems very wise man to me.

[@TET2005]

Take note: some of the disposed items are from decreased... you would not want to pick them up and use it.

[@mustafaaustinpowers5748]

Very resourceful.

[@jinngeechia9715]

The most important sense after the sense of sight is the sense of taste. If it tastes offensive, it will poison you. Essential for survival.

[@lathapauline1063]

I would like to tell Daniel one thing he should bring an awareness install a refrigerator and a cupboard alongside tell those damp the good eatables in dustbin,pur it in such refrigerators and clothes or anything other items in shelves, I think it would a better idea. Hope my idea reaches him. All the very best. 👍

[@yeohliangim2939]

wow that's a v good idea😮

[@joelopezjr3237]

There's this thing called cooking. Most food born illnesses can be avoided by simply boiling them and then cooking them as you would normal food, some people even do it with roadkill but that's too extreme for me.

[@zyaravie911]

I think when it comes to food, the risk isn't worth your health. You never know what happened to that food prior to being chucked out

[@leylamamat215]

I agree...always leave the place tidier than before when u do the dumster diving..unfortunately it doesnot happen in my area...it becomes worst..haish..they just throw garbages every where..really stress

[@xtreame]

Imagine knowing your financial planner is more focus on rubbish than your portfolio.

[@fxjh21]

I would do this if there is no such thing as FOOD POISONING

[@alexaez3567]

This is how hoarder began their hoarding

[@ScarletFoundryTarot]

💚 I also have been a dumpster diver and so have most of my friends!

[@소원-w5c]

This the result of Marie Condo-ing your house and “Minimalism”. All these unsustainable impulse throwing away of items is very upsetting. I wish people practise more conscious when purchasing stuff, and not be so wasteful. He’s definitely not picking up trash, he’s picking up your misused/underused stuff. Together with issues like fast fashion it’s really not helping at all. How I wish people have started earning lesser and cherish their things a little more. Just because we have the financial ability, doesn’t mean we should be wasteful. Pls donate, share or give away your items. You can donate bookshelves to shelters, old unwanted furnitures to manufacturing company. As for perishable items like food, pls set up a giveaway. If you have food items lying around and have no more interest in eating them, pls give them away. There are Ppl who are struggling out there. Little things like books, stickers stationeries, that clothing you’ve been letting it collecting dust, just give them away dont throw it away. Lastly, reusing your stuff is also key, you can reuse clothing as rags to clean your house.

[@similymatusnakamura4069]

singapore is clean like japan... if you know where to look then its ok...

[@Sena-yk6mm]

carousell is the best way to get rid of your stuffs

[@crystal8537]

He should come to Punggol and he will be shocked. The residents living at my hdb block throw away FURNITURE all the time esp during festive seasons. 90% of those thrown are in good if not as good as NEW condition. Ive seen a few cupboards and tables that has literally no marks or stains on it and i can tell its very expensive with good quality. Never understood why would they wanna throw them away when they spend so much to buy it. They also like to throw away other stuff in good condition too

[@maereen286]

God bless u.

[@Unteroffizier]

I think we should do something to educate or mandate business (all businesses, from SMEs, MNCs, down to the hawkers and retailers) to be socially responsibile in the process of doing business - that includes honesty, proper disposal of waste or giving their rejected products that can still be used to charities.

[@theytwatcher950]

In Australia it is actually illegal. I'm surprised Singapore hasn't outlawed it.

[@crystal8537]

Anyways, Singapore is not very good with its waste management cos we burn everything! Japan has excellent waste and recycling management. Foreign companies who fail to have good recycling habits will get penalised in japan. And thus impacted on their waste management very positively. I think Singapore has a long way to go cos we are very poor with our recycling programme

I believe this is what they call hoarding lol

[@maberu0930]

I seriously thought that Singapore's trash segregation system is effective. That's why food items stay with food items, etc. Although he still potentially could get sick, it's not as bad as what we have in our country (Philippines). You really want to watch something disgusting? Try watching documentaries about Filipino Food Scavengers. I guarantee you, this guy is doing 1000x better than them.

[@crystal8537]

I saw multiple videos of them! But as compared to japan's, Singapore has a long way to go bc all our rubbish ends up getting burned, and our recycling system is very lacking

[@ip3vk]

There are reasons why people throw away furniture in govt housing estate: 1) Chinese especially believe that everything must be new when moving to new house 2) BTO flats are smaller so not enough space for big furniture, I hv donated my good conditioned armchair to salvation army when I downgraded, 3) when they sold their bigger flat & downgraded so they made a tidy sum of the proceeds & throw away stuff to declutter etc. I hv witnessed it all. I'hv a friend who threw away brand new electrical appliances (gifts from friends) still in their boxes when they moved out of their condo. As for food stuff, need to be careful.
