Catfish love it! It sticks to your fingers like crazy and you can't get the stinky off. Good idea to use gloves, then throw them away! haha Kids on occasion would put it in another kid's school locker as an awful prank.

When they grab the bags, it will stick to them and stink all night! If they're wearing gloves it will ruin their gloves! Of course that will be the one night when they DON'T take the bags, and the real recycling crew will pick up.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490541397187821264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16041225.post-34853480583945869352010-06-14T13:28:43.838-05:002010-06-14T13:28:43.838-05:00Jocelyn,

But your guy maybe figures he doesn't have the time to sort your stuff, so he just grabs everything. Maybe he's leaving the stuff he doesn't want in someone else's recycling bin? I wouldn't try and confront him if I were you though -- you never know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16041225.post-55639519659273379172010-06-14T05:39:08.784-05:002010-06-14T05:39:08.784-05:00While working overnight, I have seen one regular w...While working overnight, I have seen one regular who trolls the neighbourhood searching EVERY blue box. Lately he has been coming onto our property (at the back) and digging through all the dozen or so huge recycling bins.<br /><br />It is actually theft to take from blue boxes, but if you confront him, I doubt he'll care.VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16041225.post-7568688187862674792010-06-14T00:17:58.570-05:002010-06-14T00:17:58.570-05:00They do want the money.

I suppose you could sigh deeply and start sorting the aluminum cans into a separate bag, which you could set outside the recycling, maybe with a "Here, you damn thieves: just take them" note.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227519811818290510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16041225.post-29118003967286391932010-06-13T19:36:10.398-05:002010-06-13T19:36:10.398-05:00Jazz,
