A Bunch of Books
Although Reddit user infinite-insecurity wasn’t a garbage collector, he did have an interesting story about Turkish garbage collectors who found good use for the thousands of books they had saved from being incinerated.
“Not a garbage collector, but here’s a cool story about how garbage collectors in Ankara, Turkey gathered a bunch of books that were thrown away. They then bring them back to the depot where there’s a library’s worth of books now. They’ve saved about 20,000 books from the incinerator.
One person’s trash, is indeed another’s treasure: It’s always trash can, and never trash cannot.”
