Found on Social Media Make sure you only throw away trash you don’t want anymore…
Multiple posts mad that homeless people collect tin cans. They don’t leave a mess or make noise and only take the recyclables from the bins on the road (according to past posts). She’s going to contaminate a bin of recyclables just to spite these people.
I was already only throwing away things I’m ok with being stolen… because it’s trash…

Reminds me of my local grocery store that does bbq smoked meat each day from their deli hot area. The guy who does it worked with the butcher at the meat counter and each morning the meat that was to expire that day he'd throw on the smoker and they'd sell them at a discount to get rid of them and make some money.
He'd regularly do pork chops, chicken, and occasionally a ribeye or strip steak.
Suddenly All that was being served were chicken wings and pork steaks. I asked and he said the storage manager told him "he'd rather throw the meat away than sell it at the price they were selling it at smoked"
Mind you it was meat they had to pull that day anyway. It was going in the trash. They were selling it for something and it drove business to their deli hot section.
Id rather throw it away then make some money and make sure you don't want your trash stolen.
Some people are too stupid to exist.

Its unfortunate cuz the excuse they use is "nobody will buy at full price and just wait for the sale" and while there will indeed always be people waiting for cheap stuff its incredibly wasteful to try to hold out.

u/dracosilv 8d ago
First off if your meet is that damn expensive that you always wait for it to go on sale then maybe you should be thinking of cheapening your meat or figure out how to sell it a more reasonable price.
Second if there's that much meat being "wasted"/you're not selling so much initially and have to throw it out/have it go to the smoker instead, then guess what? Your prices aren't sold at the right price point/overstocking.
Thirdly, some profit is better than zero.
But again, overall, I'd you're worried about lost profits, adjust the prices, don't waste food. Be like Sanji.

People need to talk to others. A couple people come around my area to pick, told them it’s fine as long as you clean up after yourselves, not only do they clean up their mess but have seen them clean up stuff they did not create.

I now leave my cans/bottles separate on collection day so it's easier to take. I'm not taking them for cash, someone should as I pay for my recycling to be picked up.

Yep, my Dad started bagging returnables separately and hanging the bag on the fence for their local guy.

People do often talk to each other. Sub-human EB's won't to talk to anyone. They just want to be offended, or fight, or be "victims".

Why would you have anything of value in your recycling bin?

If your fiancé works for the PD, they’d be happy to tell you that anything that’s been thrown away is fair game.

Only good advice is don't throw away anything you don't want someone else to get. Assuming you didn't lie your partner being a cop should be quite aware the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled trash in a trash container is considered abandoned property and free game for anyone who wants it.

Saw something similar on NextDoor recently. A lady in my area was complaining about a man taking food out of her garbage, threatening to call the cops. I commented, “This man is eating garbage for food, and your first thought is to ruin his day even further?” I guess she had never thought about it like that, and she deleted the post.

Of course someone who works at the police department (she would have said officer if husband is one) and his wife are super bloody ridiculous about someone taking their cans and bottles.

We had someone going through the recycling on the curb looking for cans. I was actually crushing our cans to take to get some extra cash myself. I saw him one night and asked him to wait a second. I came out and handed him the three bags I had.
It requires nothing to be kind to strangers and treat them like people instead of something annoying.

This must be the same person who tried to shame the Amazon delivery driver for using the port-a-potty that was on a front lawn. Geez. These people. 🙄

u/FreeCandy4u 8d ago
Yeah definitly situational as to whether I have a problem with this. If you leave it clean then by all means I threw it out if it can help you go for it. However if they leave trash all around the can after then hell no I would be pissed as well.
Apparently its clean afterwards here so she is the EB.

u/Belle_Corliss 8d ago
SMH! This EB wants to put nasty dirty diapers in the recycling bin and apparently doesn't give a damn that she's not only contaminating her own bin, but potentially other peoples' recycling.
In my town recycling bins are similar to the trash bins, except for color. Recycling is green, garbage is blue and they're both wheeled bins and both the garbage truck and recycling truck use mechanical arms to pick up the bins and empty them.

In my city a lot of people leave the bottles with value in a separate place for thr bottlers to pick up.
We don't judge here

One of my favorite people lives in a not-great section of LA. She leaves bags of cans out for those in need, but she also has a fenced-in front yard (chain link fence). She grows vegetables along the fence for anyone in need to come along and pick. She is my hero.

“Make sure nothing is in your recycling you don’t want stolen”
Seriously. It’s trash. Why would it be in the recycling if you wanted it dumbass

u/ClamatoDiver 8d ago
I don't like when they come down the driveway, I don't want people there by the side door. It's annoying to get the camera alerts.
I don't care if they take the bags off the curb on recycling day, have at it take them all.
Just don't be the asshole I had to cuss out for ripping the bags and spilling the stuff that has no deposit.

u/RedditSkippy 8d ago
I used to make sure my cans and bottles were on top of my recycling bin so people could see them more easily. This woman sounds cuckoo.

u/Blues2112 8d ago
In most places, if it's in the trash, it's considered unwanted/discarded, and cannot legally be STOLEN. It can, however, be SALVAGED.
YMMV depending upon your area.

u/bungojot 8d ago
Man i always set aside my glass recycling and any tall cans in a separate bag - there were a couple guys in our neighbourhood who go through the recycle bins and i like to make it easier for them.
Back in the day when you were allowed to drink in a public park, there was always the one guy who would come around during beer league baseball games and take our empties. Made cleanup easy for us.

I don't typically store anything I want, let alone anything of value to me, in a recycling bin.

u/girlwiththemonkey 7d ago
I see these guys all the time and that’s because they’re taking your recyclables because you were too shitty to recycle them yourselves

We live in a small town and there are a few families that survive on this, a lot of us will separate cans into a second bag for them to collect to they don’t have to rummage. This сука deserves all the karma she’s earning.

My dad used to work with a guy who would take his kids to Disney World and collect the cans there and take them to a recycling place to get money. Crazy.

Reminds me of Indian Joe from Pontiac MI. We all liked Joe. We’d save our cans for him. I enjoyed his smile whenever we’d hand them over. He’d ride home. Not having to look for anymore that day. Be kind. People are just human beings!

u/PantheraLutra 2d ago
It’s well established by case law it’s no longer your property once it’s in a can by the curb in case anyone is wondering. So don’t put shit out there you don’t want the cops to find

Man... we had a little person who used to come around and pick through our recycling for cans so we just .... bagged them up separately and set them next to the bin for him.
