Does dumpster diving do any real harm?
Bothered by the guy shuffling through your blue box? Then you really have to meet David Brown and Greg Mann.
The pair are part of a growing movement of not necessarily down and out dumpster divers, also known as “freegans” or “urban harvesters”.
Documented in their film I Love Trash, they decide to rent an unfurnished apartment and fill it from the bins around them. They start out with only the clothes they're wearing and a flashlight, but end up furnishing their digs surprisingly comfortably.
In fact, it turns out that they are not only able to 'survive' but are able to find pretty much everything they could need and more.
