Attention garbage dumpers:

One of my favorite songs of all time.

Have you seen the "Alice's Restaurant" movie?

My church has a dumpster and a paper recycling "dumpster". I dump paper from home in the paper recycling one, but sometimes I find plastic or tables or food in it. Sometimes with the other dumpster less then 1/2 full.

My church also had a food pantry, but I think they stopped that New Year of 2015. So when I was taking out garbage out of the paper recycling one, and putting it in the regular dumpster, I would find cans of food and packaged chicken and veggies (that one New Years I found four big sacks of heads of cabbages; I forgot if each sack was 20 or 40 lbs). At first I thought it was the food pantry dumping food (the cans of food and those sack of cabbages were still good), but then the food pantry stopped operating and I kept on finding food and clothes and household items in the dumpster. Then I figured out there must be a landlord who cleans out rentals when people move out and just dumps them in this church dumpster. I don't know if he works for the church or is affiliated with the church (like is one of the Knights of Columbus members) and has permission. But I think maybe not.

I remember one time finding house hold items, like a tea kettle, which I sold in a garage sale, and gave the money of stuff I found in the garbage and sold to the church. Sometimes there are clothes and I try to get those to Goodwill. The items are all in good condition, off course. One time there was shoes but I couldn't find all the pairs so I had a bunch that didn't match and I couldn't donate them.
