Perhaps the most notorious freegan strategy is what is commonly called "urban foraging" or "dumpster diving". This technique involves rummaging through the garbage of retailers, residences, offices, and other facilities for useful goods.
I know people who do this and they all hate the term "freegan". my personal feeling is that if someone wants to rescue something that would otherwise end up in a landfill, as long as they dont make a mess then they're doing the world a service. say you rescue a usable chair from the trash not only is that one less thing in a landfill but its one less chair that needs valuable resources to be manufactured, assuming you would have otherwise purchased a chair.
