[edit] Dumpster diving
You can collect some amounts of food for free in this city. You can dumpster dive at following places:
- "Folkes Livs" Has locked their garbage as from 2010-08-01
- There is a distribution centre for bread in Boländerna (industrial area). It is located within a ragged fence best entered at the end of Knivstagatan. The only time when it can be accessed is during Saturday nights - the facilities are manned all other nights otherwise which means you can't go there then.
- "Uppsala Frukt&Grönt" - a wholesaler, also on Knivstagatan.
- At Döbelnsgatan 2C in there is a garbage room inside the courtyard of the student housing. Usually you find clothing in smaller sizes, furniture and electronics here. Advisable to bring gloves! Best time to visit is early morning since the students are up and about at night.
- add more?
In general, Uppsala, especially Boländerna area, has quite a few places to dive.
Remember to clean up after yourself during the dumpster diving.
[edit] Urban foraging
Årsta got plenty of fruit trees and berries: apple trees (about 100 different types), pear trees, (black) currant bushes, cherry trees and many more. These are mostly in north eastern parts of Uppsala; in the south one can find hazelnut trees. [Please specify more precise locations if you can.]
