Two dumpster divers report about the experiences they made while diving. After a while they had found and collected so much packaged and unexpired food during their dives they did not know what to do with it so they decided to donate it. About 600 pounds of food were donated to local charities in six months. The two divers had offered to pay the fines of dumpsters diving for food because they help reducing food waste. They are still encouraging people to go food diving.
