Yea, I'm in Oregon, and this happens to me too. Honestly, who cares? What they are "stealing" (lol) is being recycled. If this senator cared enough, he would take his bottles/cans to the store and get credit for it. The point is, he doesn't care that much, but somehow feels entitled to something he doesn't care about.
- Kalium 8y agoThe issue is rarely that people go rummaging through the bins. The issue is more often that the people who go rummaging through the bins do so in a way that involves pulling out all the contents, dumping it on the street or curb, and then leaving without cleaning up. There's a related issue where the residents don't always trust that the salvagers will content themselves solely to collecting redeemable cans.
