I've taken furniture off the streets in the past and even dumpster dived for some really cool old storm windows and a clawfoot bathtub.

Whenever I was going on a purge in my house, I would leave stuff at the sidewalk. It would usually be gone within an hour or so.

As for food. I don't know that I could dive for it but I really wish more restaurants and institutions would donate their food instead of wasting it. I used to work in a hospital kitchen and there were often times that would see a lot of food go to waste. I am sure it could have found a belly to fill somewhere.

I do know of a farmer north of Toronto that would feed his cows on stale buns from fast food restaurants. I don't think he was paying for them, rather they were happy to let him take them for free.
