Items collected Friday, November 14, 2008

Recyclables:
  • 1 aluminum can (Miller Lite)
  • 1 plastic bottle (Deer Park Aqua Pod)

Reusable:
  • 1 coat hanger

The Aqua Pod listed above is the first I've come across. The difference between it and other Deer Park bottles is that it's more rounded. It has pictures of baseballs on the label, and I guess the shape is supposed to make people think of a ball.

There's a sad story behind the coat hanger picked up on Friday. A couple of weeks ago, one of my neighbors was evicted, and all her things were dumped outside by the sidewalk. Vultures descended immediately, taking most of her possessions, then a few days later the remaining items were put in trash bags and hauled away. All that was left in the mud was a single coat hanger. I left it for over a week, before deciding that it was highly unlikely to be claimed by its rightful owner.
