What we’re about
We are a group of people aiming to reduce our consumer impact on the Earth, on humans and on animals. We are aware of the wastefulness of our consumer society. Our group is involved with finding useable goods in the refuse of our throw-away culture, identifying wild edibles, repairing goods, and more. Find out more about us at our website, freegan.info , and join our mailing lists on Riseup (https://lists.riseup.net/www/home) organized by what you're interested in: Events only, Discussion, a spontaneous Dumpster Diving list, and more. Search by keyword "freegannyc".
If you are mainly interested in ongoing dumpster diving in NYC, consider going on your own or in small groups, in addition to going on our "Trash Tours," which are oriented more for learning. Our dumpster directories for Manhattan and Brooklyn are great resources.

Freegan Vegetarian Feast in Queens
A volunteer's home in Queens, RSVP for address, Queens County, NY, USAttendees are encouraged to participate in Thursday’s trash tour to help rescue food to use for this Freegan Feast.

Please note that while freegans encompass a diversity of diets, our feasts are vegetarian (and mostly vegan).
Arrive at 5:30 pm to begin cooking and preparation indoors. Plan on lending a hand in some way even if other commitments prevent you from arriving on time.
Media WILL be welcome by appointment only, and journalists will be required to respect the wishes of those who do not want to be photographed.
The location is a volunteer's home in Queens.
The home is smoke free but there is a cat in the house. It is not wheelchair accessible.RSVP (at least a day ahead) for yourself and any guests on Meetup or to Janet at (347) 724-6954 to get the location.
