Grand Central Baking Co. has a bread dumpster (I couldn’t get the site to let me edit the map myself). It’s off of Ohio and Diagonal Ave., in the Georgetown neighborhood. (Where the viaduct turns into E Marginal Way, just south of Spokane St.) The dumpster is located inside of a warehouse, so it might be inaccessible at night.

Does anyone know any good dumpster dives on the eastside (Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond area) and why doesn’t the Trader Joes in Kirkland throw anything out?!

   
onebadjesus  says:

in reguards to blue heron, I would say that the warehouse for grand central bakery is actually the parking area for the delivery trucks. They do have no door to close the area off with. They have 3 dumpsters for bread. I highly recomend the OLIVE LOAF!

   
onebadjesus  says:

I’ve put the location of the grand central bakery in the system. I however cannot add it to this map. If anyone else can please do so I have it on a map if you click my name you’ll find it under my bread map.

Im not so sure of this website yet, seems going out yerself to locate these places and just plain ole word of mouth should do the job, this site just takes the work and or fun out of the DIY aspect, maybe even draw the wrong kind of attention, who knows, this is just my street ethics on keeping it on the DL, Late

movie reccommendation: The Gleaners and I.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0247380/
An intimate, picaresque inquiry into French life as lived by the country’s poor and its provident, as well as by the film’s own director, Agnes Varda. The aesthetic, political and moral point of departure for Varda are gleaners, those individuals who pick at already-reaped fields for the odd potato, the leftover turnip.

   
sencha  says:

Can only NWDD add locations to this map? Just got back from Cash & Carry, off Rainier. 2 dumpsters with alot of vegs, soy milk, chocolate milk. 21st ave South and South Holgate.

Naked Juice has moved their dumpster behind the fence. They “close” at 5:30 and the fence stays open for about an hour or two after, this is the time to go.
Note to all!
It seemed to have scrolled off, but the logon info is nwdumpsterdivers and the PW is password. Feel free to add anything for people. Share the love! We can’t all be everywhere to check out all the dumpsters!

   
The Rockwell  says:

Will be searching out new spots soon!

Hey. someone delete all the previous good locations??? That’s not nice. (if thats the case)

   
KUOW  says:

Hey there,
I’m a producer for the program KUOW Presents on KUOW public radio in Seattle. I’m interested in researching a story about how the changes in the economy are reflected dumperster diving. Do you find more stuff? Less stuff? Has the economy made you more reliant on dumpster diving for good finds? If you have a good story to tell, please email me at: swaller@kuow.org. Thanks!

   
Young Dragon  says:

Has anyone tried the manufacturer’s dumpsters in Seattle? Are they locked or just difficult to get to without a car?

   
live  says:

anyone—know address to naked juice dumpster in SODO

   
davy  says:

Theo’s chocolate works very often for me. It is locked now, tho available; your friend pulls
the bar and you push the
black top up and it’s open. Great,
great chocolate.

   
davy  says:

dkonstrkt  says:

is anyone out there??? what happened to essential bakery dumpsters? the vans have all disappeared and there is no sign of any bread.

   
Dumpster_love-tiny NWDumpsterDivers  says:

Does anyone know where exactly the dumpster is located at the u district trader Joe’s? I looked all over… is it hidden or in an enclosed area?

   
Dumpster_love-tiny NWDumpsterDivers  says:

hi are we also tracking in los angeles..or hollywood area…?

   
dkonstrkt  says:

the u district trader joe’s dumpster is in the parking garage. i’ve never had any luck there myself.

   
cidian  says:

Essential Bakery’s dumpsters on First Avenue are now labeled NOT FOR HUMANS. Does anyone know if there is any difference between the contents of these dumpsters and the ones that used to be in Wallingford?

   
msr  says:

Grand Central Baking warehouse dumpster (off ohio and diagonal) is in a well-lit covered parking lot. Dumpster there is also marked “not fit for human consumption” like the one at Essential Bakery but I’m guessing it’s to cover them somehow legally. I, completely human, have been loving their bread for a while now.

   
faeryeyes74  says:

Essential Bakery has a dumpster that is bread loaves only INSIDE the fenced parking lot. When you drive in, you’ll see two tan dumpsters at the far end of the platform. Lots of loaves there. The compost dumpsters outside the parking lot will only have dough, etc. inside.
