Finland
From Trashwiki
Finland is generally good for dumpster diving!
There are a few establishments in Finland for getting rid of your surplus stuff:
- Flea markets are still, since the early 1990's depression, the favorite way of getting some extra cash out of your neglected possessions
- Used, preferably clean and otherwise usable clothes can be dumped at big yellow UFF containers in many Finnish cities (operating as Humana in Central Europe).
- Fida (contact details of all Finnish Fida stores), a religious-based charity accepts donations from individuals, up to picking up your whole flat with furniture and all, for free, by appointment.
Note: Finnish Finnish dumpster divers do not seem overly enthusiastic in sharing exact grocery store dumpstering spots.
