Scraping For Food

Some other scavengers come to the same place and Tarin welcomes them and gives them some products. Tarin, a young man, searches for food in trash containers next to supermarkets. When needed he rides his bicycle in search of food. He rummages through bins to find products whose shelf life is passed but not the expiration date. He's often amazed by the food wastage as he found 3 boxes full of bananas or a dozen of ham pockets. Tarin seeks out supermarket trash containers in different parts of the city to fill his fridge. The haul was not too bad this day : Serrano ham, bananas, cakes, biscuits, yogurts, cheeses, single-serve coffee container packs, compotes, noodles, etc. In Toulouse, France, on September 22,2020.
