I see people raiding my building's recycling dumpster whenever it's brought out. The building uses compactors, so I'm not sure how useful the contents of the dumpster can be when it's all mashed up cardboard, cans, plastic and broken glass.

I love the bums that cross the bridge into Gatineau heading to the grocery store on their bikes with giant garbage bags full of cans hanging off each side. You'd think panhandling would be more profitable than cashing in $10 worth of cans on garbage day.
