Pretty incredible stuff, my friend, you got some great hauls there. Your mission is no doubt a worthy one, it only sucks that people like yourself are having to scrounge around in dumpsters to find all this stuff. There needs to be much more support for reducing waste in a functional way from a policy and procedure standpoint, not only from the businesses themselves, but from the government and outside nonprofits. I've heard a common answer most people hear when asking food places why they throw away so much that is still perfectly edible is that it's a liability issue, but there's very little actual evidence to support that. Perhaps the solution lies in incentivizing businesses to reduce waste, and having a more widespread and easily accessible network to funnel donated items to those in need.
