When I lived in LA my recycling never made it to the truck because homeless dumped all the recycling all the ground to grab some of it for deposit. Deposits made that city so much dirtier

Different deposit. These are deposits where you yourself go to the store and return the item’s packaging. You are talking about the recycling program.

What you say is not true. Recycling is not all over the street, people that deposit are generally respectful and clean that shit up. I live in LA, and recycling gets to the truck just fine.

Maybe if you made it easy for people by leaving a bag of bottles, or participating in the program yourself, you wouldn’t have that problem with your local “homeless person”.

Both your experiences could be true or you could both be lying. The latter would be hilarious.

What likely happened to them is there was ONE disrespectful motherfucker that left trash everywhere.

Most of the people collecting bottles in LA make quite a business of it. $200 gmc sierra filled to the brim is a common sight.

Also very possible bro just hates immigrants.
