At work, we have those types picking through the dumpsters. I don't care. But this had to be a neighbor.

They took a box full of recyclables and emptied it into my regular trash can. In California, I'd be written a ticket for something like this. My giant (bigger than my trash can) recycle bin was half empty. The boxes were shipments with the remaining packing material inside.

It is weird. It is not a garbage picker. It is a neighbor. We have LOTS of people complaining about the dog people leaving dog crap in random trash cans.

First World problems....

I want to speak to the manager

O.K. Karen....
