Do I really need to worry about people rummaging through my recycling bin?
My next door neighbor has asked/told us twice to not put our recycling bin out the night before pick-up because people come around and rummage through it (he actually said people steal the recycling). He insists that these people are criminals and that they use collecting the recycling as a cover-up for breaking into houses. These people happen to be immigrants from south of the border.
The wife and I always bag-up the CRV recyclables so all these people have to do is grab the bag and not sift through every piece of trash. And the way I see it, people who walk for miles collecting recyclables are not the type that break into houses. IMO, my neighbor is a bit of a racist, or maybe just an alarmist.
What do you think? Should I be worried?
