Dumpster Diver






Imagine my surprise when I went to take the trash out, to find a man inside of the dumpster going thru the trash. Although I've seen it many times, people going thru the trash looking for cans or whatever, it always takes me aback . Going thru my trash still seems like going thru my personal stuff without my permission.

My first thought was go to another dumpster because I'd be disturbing him(like I'm in the wrong for wanting to throw away my trash) and as I came back I thought , If he can dig thru my garbage, I can take his picture. At first I tried to sneak and take it from afar using my zoom,but as I got closer,he smiled at me so I asked him if he was looking for cans and he said yes and continued to look. He was going thru a bag,moving it to the side and then going through the next one.
He looked neat and clean,look how white is hat is and he had a garbage bag full of cans already.

I can't say I've never dumpster dived. Once in a hurry to straighten up before going to work I inadvertently threw a bag with two boxes of new contacts in the dumpster. But I retrieved them with a chair and a long broom handle. I hope there is never a reason I would have to climb all the way in.

Until next time, Peace and Love,The Gypsy
