Checked out several new places last night, but nothing promising. The use of trash compactors with chutes that come from the inside is so pervasive that most places it becomes impossible to get into the dumpsters. But I did do a run to donate to the Occupy Eugene encampment that started Saturday night. There is a lot of infrastructure there, and it is all very well organized, with two general assemblies a day. I need to get the food down there so this is a quick, and probably incomplete list of last night's scavenging:
Lots of bananas
Pounds of apples
Lots of bell peppers (red, green, orange)
A couple of poblano peppers
Several cucumbers
Lots of carrots
Couple of pounds of celery
Half a head of cabbage
Quite a few bunches of green onions
A few yellow onions
A couple of plantains
Potatoes
Kale
Brocolli
Limes
Lemons
Radishes
Something called wheat rings from the Asian food market
A portobello mushroom
There's probably more but I got to deliver the stuff.

Hi! I really like the idea you have of harvesting food that people toss and distributing it. I am a student at U of O studying journalism. I would love to hear more about how you got started in dumpster diving and why. Feel free to email me at: lstewar2@uoregon.edu. Hope to hear from you soon!
I see you delivered to occupy eugene but where did you get what you found in the first place?
