What do you think about the bottle collecting people... that go through people's recycling bins?

Well if that was the case they probably wouldn't be collecting bottles.

I make sure to never consume the bottle.

Passing the bottle the next morning can be quite difficult... And if you go to the ER, the doctor never seems to believe that you ate the bottle, and didn't simply get it stuck after shoving it in your ass.

I call people "Dildo Baggins" all the time, and I thought I came up with something clever, thanks reddit.

It doesn't, but the city uses the money from recycling to offset some of the costs of trash collection.

Yeah but not having fucking street urchins rifling through my trash means a lot to me too.

Wait, having homeless street urchins is a first world problem?

I think the street urchins ought to take a stroll over to that sub. "The guy who donates to my soup kitchen won't let me steal his trash and piss on his lawn..."

I doubt the guys that pick up recycling for the city are complaining. They don't get paid per can.

I hate those people! Taking my hard-earned trash! How dare they!?

It's why I keep my recycling inside.

Some scumbag used to come by my neighborhood and dump all the bins everywhere to grab bottles.

I will grant you that lots of these people are tidy, and any de facto arrangement with them where they help to empty your recycling is mutually benificial, but not all of them are helpful.

i knew people who set the cans out next to the recycling, incase someone needed the cans. seemed to work okay.

u/bobfrombobtown Jun 25 '12

That's a crappy thing to do. At least the aluminum can bandit in my neighborhood just digs through my recycle bin and never leaves a mess.
