A Human Finger and Body Excretions

Reddit user hothotsauce is glad that he wasn’t his college classmate, who had to work at a family dump over the summer and found a human body part and other creepy things he wish he hadn’t seen or smelled. 

“Had a college classmate who worked summers at his uncle’s dump on Staten Island. He HATED the job so much but three months paid off a year of school tuition/living. He found a human finger once. Lots of bodily excretions in containers. Bags of brand new (possibly unsold) clothing.

He also got paid $20 per big black garbage bag to separate recyclables out of it (which he insisted the smell/sight isn’t worth the money). How many he got through in a day, I don’t know.”
