Montana shopping mall
- She:
- You know what my mom calls those green box dumpster sites? She calls it the mall. There is always someone there digging in the trash.
- Me:
- Hehe, yeah. Well, I'm off to the mall.
...
- Me:
- You were right, I watched one guy there going systematically through each dumpster. He was poking around with a stick and even had a knife to cut open each garbage bag.
- She:
- Can you believe it?
- Me:
- I'm sure he will enjoy that stinky crap I dumped. Remind me to get a paper shredder too. Every thing with my name on it better get shredded.
- She:
- That's for sure. Your address too.
- Me:
- But it got me thinking. These people may actually be good for our society.
- She:
- Eeeww.
- Me:
- It's a socioeconomic thing. Well off people will discard things more indiscriminately so there are sure to be valuables in that trash. The poor people digging in the trash are actually performing a service for us by sorting out valuables and recyclables and reducing the mass of the landfill. In theory they are profiting from it too.
- She:
- (Makes disgusted face.)
- Me:
- Granted, it's gross and sad that people would have to do that. But still, it may have an upside.
you can tell "she" that i had friends in the city who did this as a hobby, and they found some cool sh*t! me, i couldn't take the smell...
