Lobster Mac and Cheese
On a side note I was backing out of my garage the other morning and saw an Asian guy on a 3 wheeler bike picking the recycling of myself and neighbors.
At first I thought he had it rough so he has to do what he has to do. Then I realized he had it good, looked at peace, calm, relaxed, quiet cool morning enjoying fresh air. Who's the lucky one I thought, the man who drinks from a can or the man who makes money from the man who drank from a can.
This post reminded me of a stay on Sanibel Island. The “Sanibel Stoop” refers to people hunched over looking for shells. Wife kept collecting shells and I warned her there is a 25lb carry on weight limit for the airline.
I would see the occasional guy sitting in the middle of a pile shells. Skin tanned to almost black. Just mining the shells under the sun with the intention of selling to the tourist trap gift shops.
Beats working in a cubicle I thought
I have old Asian people, ON MY BLOCK, who live in 800k corner houses, collect cans.
You guys really that bad at math? at 5 cents a can that's 40 thousand cans....
You really think he gets that in there or collects that many in a day? I thought this was a fraud alert website...
More money in trash than cans. On way home from work one night drove by a house cleanout. Stopped grabbed a few things and sold them on ebay for 1k, most expensive item was a human skull I got just over 600 for. Fucks with your head to work an 8 shift for a few hundred then find 1k in 5 mins. One of my friends who went bankrupt twice asked me if I was embarassed to pick shit out of the trash and I asked her if she was embarassed to be such a bankrupt loser.
A recycling worker told me when I was doing my $10 worth of stuff that people from Nevada pack like a econoline ford van full of smashed cans and drive to southern cal them to recycle. Which is not allowed since no CRV was paid. He tries to check if they are from CA, but many doing this dont get caught and denied. They can easily get $500-$2000 by filling the van up of smashed cans. Plastic not so much cuz it weighs too little on the flimsy water bottles, u have to recycle those one by one to not get 1/3-1/2 of what u paid.
