Heard this guy (apparently from Arizona, judging from his license plate) going through our neighbor’s trash this morning. He was keenly focused on collecting whatever glass recyclables he could find.<\/p>\n

At first I was kind of appalled by his audacity since he wasn’t trying to hide his rummaging at all, but as I watched him I realized he must do this a lot. He was working in a very neat and organized way, and he didn’t leave any kind of mess behind. He was wearing latex gloves, collecting glass bottles, placing them into large trash bags and then hoisting those into the bed of his truck.<\/p>\n

Obviously he was going to turn them into a recycle collection center for money. Since they would end up there anyway, and since he wasn’t hurting anyone or really even stealing, I ended up kind of impressed with his spunk. Yes, Lisa, I said spunk.<\/p>\n

He came across the street, took one look inside our container, and immediately closed the lid. Nothing in there for him to pilfer since we ourselves take glass and plastics to collection centers. Since we pay for CRV when we buy the stuff, might as well get some of our money back, darnit!<\/p>\n
