She had to call the authorities on the man going through her recyclables. Take a good look, Patt. These are the bottom feeders, the last link in the urban food chain. Seeing them bothers you, doesn't it? I hate to be the one to tell you, but these people were recycling long before your affluent little community put in its lame program. I'll tell you something else: It's hard work being out there all day, going through people's trash. Demeaning, too. But for many, it's the only way to make a living.
