I saw an interesting van the other day driving about - tagline was
Rescuing Food for Charities
tonight I saw a shop packing up their leftover food by dumping them into bin bags.  I asked the cashier did she know charities pick up food at the end of the day but she said boss says to throw it out.  5 mins before that they were still selling buns at $2 each.
So when I got home I goggled the phrase and found the right organisation fairly quickly, sent them an email and ate my dinner.

If any of you like dumpstering I suggest check out the World Square throw-out pile if you can find it.  Most of their shops close by 9pm on a Thursday leaving just the supermarket and upstairs restaurants open until later.

If you ever spot another business just chucking food out and don't need it yourself tell these peeps  OzHarvest
they do the organising.
