Garbage Collectors Share the Strangest Things They Found on the Job

A Family Photo Album With a Knife in the Middle

Reddit user VoiceCrack will never forget their summer job at a landfill, or rather, a particular item that held beautiful memories for a family. However, the person that dumped the album was obviously having a bad day.

“I worked as a summer student at a landfill “directing traffic.” One day, a customer came in and asked for a hole to be dug as he wanted something to be buried. He was driving an all black Cadillac with tinted windows and some seriously nice rims.

The somewhat lazy machine operator was reluctant to dig a hole as it required switching machines, so he offered the animal pit instead. Half-expecting a dead body, I watched as he threw out what appeared to be a book. Once he drove off, I held my breath and peered into the animal pit, only to find a (presumably) family photo album with a knife lodged right in the middle. It still gives me the creeps.”
