Great reminder! I suppose some folks throw away more stuff than many would ever hope to have. In the Dominican Republic(not unlike similar places) poverty ridden people set-up housekeeping in the dumps. They find in the dumps what is needed to stay alive. Yep, with a county operated and efficient landfill set up, folks around here who don't have garbage pick-up can take the stuff to collection centers. Just a few years ago I saw a woman thow a bag of garbage down a hill...and she was only a mile from the collection center! Many years ago in the Smoky Mountains, a friend of mine saw an "out of state" car go by and a bag of garbage go out the window. Knowing the shortcut down the mountain, he got the garbage and met the woman at a stop sign. "I think you forgot this!", he said while hurling the bag into her backseat! "We don't do that here." Sure, he was only about 18 at the time and brash. He DID make a point I bet.
