Raccoons in my trash bins!
This is for Jim C- The SF Gate has an article about crews of recycling bandits in SF. As the article says -
Though the men didn't knock over the bins or leave other trash in their wake, some San Francisco residents say they know when the recycling bandits are on the march when they see tipped-over cans and litter strewn on the ground and hear clanks of bottles and cans at 3 a.m. One waste company says it has received 20,000 complaints of curbside recycling theft in San Francisco.In my hood, it used to be that one older woman would go around and get the bottles and cans out of the recycling on Thursday evenings (not 3am). But the past few months, I have noticed the "crews" running through. Maybe there will be a gang war of recyclers. They can organize the gangs based on which kind of glass they recycle- brown glass, clear, or green. But so help me god, if they start singing at 3am and wake me up again I may have to get a pellet gun. . . 01 Jul 13:15 | /humor | 4 comment(s)
