Welcome to Trashwiki, the collaborative world wide guide of creating value from trash!

It is written for and by dumpster divers, freegans and others of such kind. In this wiki you will find plenty of trash-related articles: you can search by specific countries, by places like markets, by food types, and so on. We started on September 17, 2008, and we already have 286 articles on trash. You can find precise descriptions of how to get rid of your trash in a sustainable manner, how to sensibly recuperate trash, and much much more.

All red links indicate articles yet to be created. Actually, you (yes, you!) can start a new article! Wow, cool, isn't it? How do you do that? If you see a red link, click on it and then fill in something that is known to you. It doesn't have to make too much sense in the beginning - someone else will correct your entry later on anyway...
