Can someone go through your recycle basket and pick out the aluminum cans to sell? I’ve had it happen to me.
If it's like when I owned a home in Anaheim,CA it's supposed to be illegal, we were told(lie) that sorting our recyclables for pick up would generate revenue for the city used to defray some of waste fees. We had thieves, I won't call them scavengers and they weren't homeless trying to get food (or booze/cigarette/drug) money. They were, and I am being accurate not racist, Asians who lived in the neighborhood and were well to do. Bottom line the city did jack to stop the thieving despite numerous resident complaints.
