Do you want to reduce your consumer impact on the earth, humans, and animals? Are you concerned about the wastefulness of our consumer society? Learn how to find useable goods in the refuse of our throw-away culture, to identify wild edibles, to repair and rebuild bikes, clothing and more.

Our next MeetupTrash Tour

Nov 25 Wed 9:00 PM
Where?
Borough Hall in Brooklyn Heights
brooklyn, NY
Who’s coming?
2 Yes / 1 Maybe

Want to attend?

Join us to collect the quality products that stores throw out, especially during the hype and anxiety that the chain stores thrive on in the "holiday season". We give advice on how to salvage these goods & comment on the reasons for such waste. We’ll also be collecting food for our Buy Nothing Day freegan feast on Friday.
Media WILL be welcome with appointment.

What members are saying

“ Eye opening, to say the least. Go out on a few Trash Tours with these folks and you'll never feel the same walking in to any supermarket in the world. ... ”

“ I like the idea of having a group like this one. I find it very educational. New Yorkers may want to learn more about survival skills. ... ”

      “I am a bit of a bohemian and I love the idea of sharing rather than tossing. I have been doing this with friends for years. the free market sounds like fun too. I am not much for hunting roots and berries though, lol”
