Events

As a community, we regularly organise events for our members. Here is a list of our past and upcoming events:

Freegan Treasure Hunt:

At this event, we teach you the basics of finding things in your neighbourhood. You learn etiquette, skills, tools, and gain first-hand experience.

Participants can expect to get their hands dirty. Soap and water will be provided to clean yourselves up afterward. If you have particularly sensitive skin, you can help to carry the finds.

Open to first-timers and the more experienced.

At this event, we invite all members of the local freegan community to take as much as they want of a specific item that we are giving away in large quantities. The rest will be discarded.

Freegan Exchange

Veggie Collection

At this almost daily event, shopkeepers give us their unsold produce for the day. We divert this food waste from the bin into the hands and mouths of people who can use it.

Those who want to join can find invite links to the chat group in the pinned post of our Facebook group.

Ad hoc Events

These are other events that are one-off rather than regular ones.
