Well, the concept is inherently paradoxical, a fight against the waste of
capitalism which itself relies of said waste, so I'm betting there'll be a
few quirks getting minor charges from finding discarded flat screen monitors
and "too orange for this season" designer clothes in the ritzier dumpsters.

That said, you'll be more likely to find other kinds of adepts there,
partially because adepts are sometimes crazy in a way that jives with this
lifestyle, partially because some are crazy in way that keeps them from
holding down a normal job.

Plutophages, naturally, would be drawn to freeganism as a way of life.
Some plutomancers may get it into their heads that they can become more
powerful by not spending money at all, rummaging in garbage bins by night
and trading stocks by day. And of course where better to look for things
they've called towards themselves using random magic?
(Though the freegans better hope they don't get both kinds of adept at the
same dumpster, or things could turn ugly.)

And of course this could mean a lot of artifacts are out there, being
scavenged by opportunistic idealists. That hand of glory you lost could be
sprucing up some hippie's slightly irregular bookshelf.

Given the cabal's high concentration of starry-eyed idealists some Maks
could find ways to pass unused burger patties and fruit boxes into the hands
of local freegans. Not only is it a cheap good deed for an alturist on a
budget, it also provides another vector for special orders.
