Cans
November, 2003
So I want the the aluminum can recycler yesterday. Had SIX bags of uncrushed cans. Whooeee!
I tore open each bag and dumped into the wheeled containers they use. I used one and a half containers.
I wheeled them into the building and the guy weighed them.
The other guy (hereafter to be referred to as "The Dumpster Guy" rolled them over to the aluminum dumpster and dumped them in.
As my guy was making up my invoice I notitcd The Dumpster Guy was fishing around in the dumpster.
I was embaressed because I had torn amall piece of plastic bag and it had gone into the container and I had left it there.
My bad, as it were.
So finially The Dumpster Guy comes over with a small yet heavy looking (and dripping) plastic bag. WTF?
He says, "What's this? Looks like a bag of dirt."
I go, "I don't know." I open it up, it's COFFEE GROUNDS!
Apparantly a bag of coffee grounds I brought home from work got into a can bag.
And somehow I missed it going into the container.
And now I guees they think I was trying to cheat them.
I am just mortified.
Anyway, they didn't say anything much, just weighed it and took it off the total.
