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.

Really Really Free Market
Judson Memorial Church, entrance at 239 Thompson Street (the Assembly Hall), Manhattan, 239 Thompson Street, New York, NY, USThe Really Really Free Market is a bazaar and celebration where we challenge capitalist interactions, and have fun trying new models of exchange. Previous RRFMs have included skill-sharing, clothing, and books! Bring items in good and working condition that you want to pass on to someone else; drop-offs accepted between 12 noon and 4:30pm. Textile recycling drop-off will be available, but general e-waste will not, so please bring working electronics only (with one exception - see below.) No need to bring something to take something. We will not be serving food on-site.
This month only we have the opportunity to try to repair or recycle your non-working string/holiday/Christmas lights! If you’re like me, you have a pile of un-working or half working strands of string lights sitting around. Bring them to this month’s Really Really Free Market and the Holiday Light Doctor will try to fix them, or help you fix them, and if we can’t, we’ll box up all the non-working strands for one of the few places around that will take them for recycling!
Where: Judson Memorial Church, entrance at 239 Thompson Street (the Assembly Hall), Manhattan.
