"Many freegans get free food by pulling it out of the trash (bins), a practice commonly nicknamed "dumpster diving" in North America and "skipping" or "bin diving" in the UK, as well as "bin raiding" or "skipitarianism" (so called because the person's diet mostly involves eating out of a skip). Retail suppliers of food such as supermarkets, grocery stores, and restaurants routinely throw away food in perfectly good condition, often because it is approaching its sell-by date (without thereby becoming dangerous), or has damaged packaging.[5] Freegans find food in the garbage of such establishments, which they say allows them to avoid spending money on products that exploit the world's resources, contribute to urban sprawl, treat workers unfairly, or disregard animal rights. By foraging, they believe they are keeping perfectly edible food from adding to landfill clutter and that can feed people and animals who might otherwise go hungry.[6]"

Seems like the focus is more on the trees, then the garbage. Nice picture overall.

I don't get the title? The image is a bit too soft overall, like it's been treated with a softglow effect, which spoils it for me, would have rather had it more crisp. The sky is pretty blown-out too. Higher shutter speeds will help get a sharper focus and help tone down the brightness a bit too.

Initial reaction was: I don't like this, but then after looking at it further, the soft focus definitely makes this photo, and I like the framing of the trees. Very nice.
