Groceries at the Dump
This is one of our local trash recycling facilities aka the dump. This is the first time I have ever seen canned goods being offered to dump patrons. Some nice person must have thought that someone would want their old canned goods. There is a can of green beans, a can of canned tomatoes and two cans of corn ... regular and creamed. There are also two boxes of something.
The sign explicitly states that no scavenging is allowed. You are not permitted to remove anything from the dumpster under ‘penalty of prosecution’. Instead of tossing their canned goods into the dumpster, someone lined them up on the edge for others to take. Let’s think about this for a minute. If a person threw out some canned vegetables (probably way past the expiration date), would you take them from the dump? Notably food prices have gone way up this year, but one doesn’t make a trip to the dump hoping to pick up a few canned goods while getting rid of their trash!
Very interesting ...
