In industrialized countries that adds up to an average of 680 billion US dollars tossed in the bin and then taken away by dump trucks. The average of the United States is even higher, wasting close to fifty percent of all produced food.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13909\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/trash-men-at-market.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4752\" height=\"3168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/trash-men-at-market.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/trash-men-at-market-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/trash-men-at-market-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/trash-men-at-market-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/trash-men-at-market-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4752px) 100vw, 4752px\" \/><em>After the market is concluded, the garbage men come to take what is left over<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the French government and their relatively new food disposal laws, France has become the world&#8217;s leader in curbing food waste. In 2016, the French government enacted a law banning the destruction or wasteful disposal of unsold food. Large amounts of soon-to-be-expired food used to be thrown away, but now, in accordance to the law, this food is donated to charities or food banks. All this has greatly diminished food waste in France, but that does not mean that Âé¶¹APPian dumpsters have nothing left to offer.<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0Dumpster diving as a viable solution<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/recovering_wasted_food.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3896\" height=\"2200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/recovering_wasted_food.jpeg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/recovering_wasted_food-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/recovering_wasted_food-768x434.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/recovering_wasted_food-1024x578.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/recovering_wasted_food-816x461.jpeg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3896px) 100vw, 3896px\" \/><em>Crate and trash bin filled with food &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Freeganism#\/media\/File:Recovering_wasted_food.JPG\">Courtesy Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you are coming to the expensive city and don&#8217;t want to wind up broke, there are many ways &#8211; dumpster diving is only one solution &#8211; to fully experience Âé¶¹APP on a budget.\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/paris-on-a-budget\/\">Check out our article on other affordable\u00a0ways to visit Âé¶¹APP<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Food and outside dining tends to be one of the most expensive activities in Âé¶¹APP, making dumpster diving not only economical but also extremely rewarding. Some people use dumpster diving as their sole means of survival; I, however, am not that person. I see dumpster diving as an economically advisable habit. I try to find things both inside and outside the supermarket.<\/p>\n<p>The first time I went I was both amazed and slightly disgusted at the treasures that were so\u00a0lackadaisically tossed out. Even more outstanding was the total lack of awareness I had towards diving before a friend suggested I try it. Whilst awareness towards the wealth of dumpsters is\u00a0increasing, dumpster diving still remains in the periphery of Âé¶¹APPian conscience.<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0Where, how, and when to go dumpster diving<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13906\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eggs-in-dumpster.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4752\" height=\"3168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eggs-in-dumpster.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eggs-in-dumpster-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eggs-in-dumpster-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eggs-in-dumpster-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eggs-in-dumpster-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4752px) 100vw, 4752px\" \/><em>A dumpster outside of an organic supermarket containing 10 dozen organic eggs\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>On any given day, the large green dumpsters outside of Âé¶¹APP&#8217;s supermarkets are overflowing with everything from vegetables, fruit and ready made sandwiches.<\/p>\n<p>Based on personal experience, I would advise hitting the dumpsters sometime around 5:00 PM. Most of the garbage trucks are in circulation around 7:00 PM, leading the supermarkets to leave the dumpsters out sometime in the early evening. Of course this depends on what area of Âé¶¹APP you are staying in, but a quick look at the surrounding dumpsters makes it easy to find out.<\/p>\n<p>Supermarkets such as <em>Carrefour<\/em>, <em>Franprix<\/em>, and <em>Monoprix<\/em>\u00a0 are some of the best. Finding the right dumpster can often prove the most difficult part of the process. Some supermarkets leave their dumpsters out back in order to discourage divers. However, if you are willing to invest a little bit of time into the hunt, you will surely be rewarded. <em><a href=\"http:\/\/dumpstermap.org\/\">Click here to discover the worldwide Dumpstermap<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Once you have have stumbled upon a particularly yielding bin, the rest is self explanatory. I have my own rules: I do not like digging through other people&#8217;s trash and I do not take any meat. The rest is fair game. Using your best judgment, it is easy to tell what has truly spoiled and what can still be salvaged.<\/p>\n<p>Fruit and vegetables are normally thrown away due to slight bruising.\u00a0All packaged food such as yogurt, salads, sandwiches, cheese etc.. tend to be thrown out because of the expiration date, but, if eaten within a couple of days, they remain just as good as before.<\/p>\n<h4>The open-air markets in France<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13908\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/marche-de-grenelle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4752\" height=\"3168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/marche-de-grenelle.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/marche-de-grenelle-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/marche-de-grenelle-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/marche-de-grenelle-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/marche-de-grenelle-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4752px) 100vw, 4752px\" \/><em>Venders pack up and throw away unsold food on the sides of the street at the March\u00e9 de Grenelle\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Open air markets are some of the best places to find left over food. Once the markets begin to close (usually around 2:00 or 3:00 PM) vendors leave piles upon piles of cardboard boxes waiting to be taken and disposed of by garbage men.<\/p>\n<p>Littered within these crates is an outstandingly large amount of left over fruit and vegetables. I would say that about fifty percent of it is salvageable. Sometimes you may have to cut off some bruised areas, but, if you are not too picky, you can easily walk away with pounds and pounds of fresh vegetables and fruit.\u00a0I always come away with more than I can eat. Smoothies and pies are a good ideas.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13910\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/woman-takes-oranges.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4752\" height=\"3168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/woman-takes-oranges.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/woman-takes-oranges-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/woman-takes-oranges-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/woman-takes-oranges-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/woman-takes-oranges-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4752px) 100vw, 4752px\" \/><em>A woman picks the best tangerines from a crate while garbage man waits for her to finish at another march\u00e9 in the 15th\u00a0arrondissement <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The vendors are prone to be generous and many times, while kicking through the remnants of scattered food, someone will approach me with a crate of perfectly good apples telling me if I don&#8217;t take them they will be thrown away.

This, however, is not what I have found. In fact, everything that I have seen seems to be quite the opposite. When I do sometimes run into a group of people scrounging around a dumpster, they always prove to be incredibly open and friendly. They share their findings and give out new ideas on how to cook some odd vegetable that I have found discarded and forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>Dumpster diving is surely not for everyone, but for those of you on a budget or looking for a new type of unexpected experience, dumpster diving is a profitable, rewarding decision.
