Recycling Hell
It is such a nightmare recycling in my neighborhood. I’ve been saving all the recyclable stuff, as I know the sketchy C-Town grocery store a few blocks away has a recycling center. I used to leave them out for the homeless guys to take, but now we can’t do that. How hard can it be for an educated person to take cans, bottles, and plastic down to a center? Sisyphean, actually. Texas Chris helped me carry it all down to the store, where we were accosted by the incoherent and pungent caretaker. He’s yelling things at us, rummaging through our bags, throwing things around. A homeless guy with an equally stout odor wafting from his person also approaches, nodding in approval of this first guy’s obviously professional assault on our recyclables. I think there is some kind of odor hierarchy involved in dealing with these centers, and I just need to leave this kind of thing to the homeless professionals.
