I’ll take “strange” with a healthy dose of “what the…”

The other day someone knocks on my front door. When I answer it, no one is there but a black trash bag. Strange, huh? So I very cautiously and suspiciously untied the strings fairly certain something is going to jump out at me or I’m going to be exposed to a disease like Leprosy or Chicken Pox’s or Dyslexia or something.  Well maybe not the last one. Anyway….I open the bag and what do I find?? Trash that David and I had thrown in the recycle. But wait…this is a different bag then we use.  “What the…” I took the bag to the back and slowly went through it. It sure was our garbage but why would someone go through our garbage and then return it to us??

I have racked my brain to come to a conclusion of this weirdness. I have nothin’. We thought that maybe someone went through our recycle to get the plastic and aluminum cans. Oregon has a very efficient and well managed garbage and recycling program. There are walk-up recycle centers that offer 5 cents per aluminum can and 10 cents per plastic beverage container. It’s a good way to make a little change. But why would they return our garbage??? Just a little strange huh? Needless to say, I’m now more careful what I throw away.
