"I'm on disability because of my back, and I can't even do my physical therapy." Cobb said she is unemployed because of her bad back and lives with a boyfriend.

So her back's so bad she can't work, but she can climb into dumpsters? Yeah, right. She's going to regret the decision to take this to court, because by the time she loses her claim against Waste Management, there'll be plenty of evidence on the record to yank her "disability" checks too.

I'm applying for disability because of my back and fibromayalgia.

I can't get milk out of fridge, let alone climb into a dumpster.

Cobb said she usually does not climb into Dumpsters, but said the one on Winthrop Street was nearly empty, so she did not think a garbage truck would come. She is also upset about a cell phone she lost while she was in the truck.

Now, Cobb said, she is angry with the company and will consult an attorney.

"They (Waste Management) tried to get me to sign a waiver to say it was not their fault. I said no way," said Cobb. "I'm going to go talk to my lawyer."

O'Connor said the incident appears to be Cobb's fault. Alfano said the driver would not be cited because he is not at fault.

"It (the Dumpster) is private property. She was trespassing," said O'Connor. "It's kind of ironic, here she is digging for cans in a Dumpster, but yet she has a cell phone."

No further comment needed.
