Thursday... garbage day...

The garbage truck comes by three times a week.
We try to buy things with as little as possible of unnecessary packing materials, so we don't always have a full bag to put outside.
This morning two young ladies, in their twenties came to remind us that today is garbage day, but our bags weren't out.
I wondered why that was, but turns out they go from door to door to see if there aren't any things in there that they can still use before the boys from the garbage truck sort out the usable stuff.
I guess, when there's no work around, and no money to buy rice and beans for the family, one has to be imaginative to think of something that might be useful. Sometimes, they find empty cans or plastic bottles that they can sell...
Life is hard... but still they managed to keep up the good spirit.
They gave me a big smile when I told them that I had a big bucket full of empty soda cans in the back!
