Iceland
From Trashwiki
In Iceland there are excellent opportunities to skip. Especially in Reykjavik where you can skip nearly everything, from toilet paper to tofu. Besides the capital of Iceland there are a few other towns like Egilstadir or Kópavogur, where it is also possible to get at least some food like vegetables or fruit. In villages or at gas-station and hotels along the big road around the whole Isle you have to be very lucky to find something to skip. Most of Iceland's surface is wilderness. There are only few towns and you have to travel very long distances from one skip to the next.
[edit] Icelandic Supermarkets
'Bonus' is a large Icelandic supermarket chain that has at least one store in every Icelandic town. At most of these you'll find three or more skips full of all sorts of produce. The most common finds are vegetables and fruit as they are very expensive in Iceland, due to the high import costs. There are lots of Bonus stores in Reykjavik, and the store in Egilstadir is also very good for skipping. There are also opportunities at other stores, but Bonus stores have the easiest pickings.
[edit] Vendor Situation
Many vendors don't care when people take their waste and hence skips are not locked up and are easy to reach. That might also be because the vendors in Iceland are not used to people taking away their waste. So there is a lot of room for creative communication between dumpster divers and vendors. People in Reykjavik have managed to talk and discuss with some vendors, and they have agreed to give unmerchantable food to these people instead of throwing it away.
