The Path of the Convert

1️⃣

Bin Curious

You've walked past a skip and wondered. You've seen a yellow sticker and felt something stir. It's okay. We've all been there. Welcome.

2️⃣

First Dive

Accompanied by an Elder, you will open your first wheelie bin. You may cry. Brother Dave cried. It was the pain au chocolat.

3️⃣

Bin Maxer

You dive weekly. You know which night the bakery purges. You have opinions about torch lumens. Your nan is coming around to it.

4️⃣

Skipfluencer

Others follow your lead. You can date a yoghurt at twenty paces. New converts whisper your haul stories around the communal minestrone.

5️⃣

Dumpster Deity

The final rank. Bins open at your approach. Sister Maureen holds this rank. We do not make eye contact with Sister Maureen.

What To Bring To Your First Meeting

  1. A torch. Headtorch preferred — the faithful need both hands free for receiving blessings.
  2. Gloves. Faith protects the soul; rubber protects the fingers.
  3. A bag for the haul. A bag for life, naturally. We're saving the planet here, not just dinner.
  4. An empty stomach and an open mind. In that order.
  5. NOT your good trousers. Commandment VI. We will send you home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a cult?

No. Cults take your money. We are violently opposed to anyone spending money on anything. We are, if anything, the opposite of a cult. An anti-cult. A clut.

Do I have to be religious?

You only need to believe in one higher power: the supermarket waste schedule. It is unseen, it is mysterious, and it provides. Everything else is optional.

What if I see someone I know while I'm in a bin?

Maintain eye contact. Hold up your haul. Say nothing. They will look away first, because deep down they know the croissants are free and theirs cost £2.20.

Is the food safe?

We follow the Sacred Rules: sniff thrice, cook thoroughly, and observe Commandment IX (no prawns) with absolute rigour. Our safety record is excellent if you don't count Terry, and we have voted not to count Terry.

How do I actually join?

There is no form. There is no fee. Simply go forth this Sunday evening, find a bakery bin, and begin. If you catch a falling baguette, you're in. To prepare for this holy moment, train in the sacred game below.
