What is currently in your trashcan?
I am in the process of cleaning my room and I was emptying the trash by my desk and found the contents to be interesting. Some times you can find out a lot about a person based on what they throw away. (I’m not into rummaging through trash, this is just a thought) So what are you getting rid off?

I found £5 note in my bin in my room a few weeks ago. lol Apart from that lucky inciddent its just crap like tissues, plastic containers, nothing interesting.
Lots and lots of Kleenex brand Almond-colored facial tissue because I just got over a cold and I haven’t emptied the garbage can yet. :P
Also, used dental floss, receipts, and probably candy wrappers.
Lots of Kleenex (been sick for about 9 or 10 days now… and still counting).
Aggie football ticket stubs.
A few receipts from the bookstore.
Tags from clothing.
Envelopes from mail from colleges sending me grad school information.
Old flashcards.
Lots of random, loose papers out of my notebook.
A hair tie that stretched out from me pulling it too tight.
a lot of stuff that I don’t want, wrappers, kleenex, etc…..lol
There’s so much stuff in there, the lost city of Atlantis could be in the bottom and I wouldn’t know.
Uh, nothing interesting. I did a big clean yesterday, so it only has a couple tissues and a McChicken wrapper that I just threw in there.
A white garbage bag with a tootsie pop wrapper in it. I just did a cleaning.
An extremely rancid nappie, er, diaper!......
Three basil plants I killed when I forgot to water the plants for about a month. Whoops… At least I remembered to feed the cat, right?
Mice. My garbage can is a great mouse catcher. They jump in when it’s empty, then can’t get out. They can’t climb up the slippery sides…
Two wine bottles (complete with corks), a few versions of a research paper I’m writing, a pair of my husband’s underwear (the elastic got shabby), a bra (the underwire broke), an oyster can, a cheese wrapper, a syringe (for giving vaccines to our grass-fed Scottish Highland steer), a coffee filter complete with used coffee beans, and I’m no longer willing to dig any deeper to see what’s under that.
Not much in there now. I took it out last night but here’s what I found from today….
coffee grounds
part of a tortilla
dead plant leaves
empty guacamole package
plastic stopper from a margarita bottle
paper towels
& maybe stuff on the bottom that I’m not going to go digging for…LOL
I really don’t want to dig through it to see, but from what I remember from today there is a discarded box from California Clementines, an empty box that held Hot Pockets, several apple cores, several Clementine peels, some grape stems, outdated coupons, an empty milk carton, a “science experiment” from the back shelf, a Sports Illustrated that our crazy sink cat tore up, a bunch of junk mail, empty tomato cans, several of my son’s “church socks” (they are holey), several used insulin syringes, paper towels, and a lot of paper left over from my daughter’s homework assignments.
I can’t say that it seems particularly interesting to me.
LOL! I can see all the flutherites scurrying to look through their trash cans!! SO’s are going, “WHAT NOW???!!!”
@Val123 actually, I made sure he was out of eye-shot when I looked. LOLLLLLLLL
Mine is checking his eyelids for light leaks so he has no idea what I am up to.
Advertising mailer from Verizon offering me FIOS internet, phone and TV + mobile phone service, mini dark chocolate Toblerone wrapper, 3 used Kleenex™ tissues.
-weed stems
-3 empty snack pack containers
-empty water bottle
-empty black hair dye box
-old cashews
-reciepts
-mystery kleenex
@Val123 and @jbfletcherfan see my roommates are already accustomed to my insanity, they stopped asking questions a while ago…
@IBERnineD Yes…they do get that way. What a relief!
@Darwin ROFL!! Checking his lids for light leaks???? And he thinks WE’RE strange??
Three bottles of wine and at least 60 beer cans. Last night was interesting.
Of the fun before the refuse!
It surprises me how many jellies have recyclable plastic, aluminum, glass, and paper items in their trash cans!
Also, @sunshinedust: If you buy a bottle of clear, high proof alcohol like Everclear (I’m assuming you’re of age, haha), you can put all your weed seeds, stems, and shake in it, adding to it over time, and, after leaving it in a dark, cool place for awhile (the longer, the better), you’ll have a greenish or brownish liquid – Green Dragon! It’s not so tasty, but it’s a really interesting experience to drink it because it absorbs the THC of whatever you put in it. It’s a great use for those seeds and stems that you don’t want to smoke too.
And, in my trash can, however, is a few food wrappers and a few kleenex. Nothing too interesting, I’m afraid. I recycle most things :)
@TitsMcGhee Not only is your comment regarding Green Dragon awesome, but so is your name! Lurve.
@seeing_red: Haha, always trying to help a fellow smoker out :)
@TitsMcGhee – Actually, I have more things in my recycling bin than I do in my trash can, but they tend to be rather monotonous: a plastic detergent bottle, a plastic cleaner bottle, a plastic water jug, another plastic cleaner bottle, a plastic fabric softener bottle, another plastic fabric softener bottle, yet another plastic fabric softener bottle, a plastic potato salad container, assorted aluminum cans and three plastic Gatorade bottles. There is no glass in my green bin because our city no longer recycles glass.
I’d love to be able to recycle, but I live in a rural part of the country where we don’t even have trash pick-up service, much less access to recycling!
A lot of Kleenex. Sadly it’s not because I’m sick. Or ill, rather. Not because I’m ill.
@absalom – Not being ill – isn’t that a good thing? What is there to be sad about not being ill? Or using up a lot of Kleenex?
We have a cat that likes to pull all of the tissues out of the box and then poop on them, so I can sometimes be sad, but surely our cat does not have a twin at your place.
@Val123 that picture’s too damn funny, but it looks more like a butt than it does boobs, I hate to tell you.
@Darwin I dunno. Maybe I have a dirty mind, but Kleenex in a trashcan when not sick means something when it’s a guy. lol
@casheroo – Ah. I see. Well, you learn something new every day. I haven’t run into that even though I live with a husband and a teen age son.
@IBERnineD Ya don’t have to tell me! I caught six kinds of heck over it…in fact, it was like that optical illusion thing, once you see sequined “short shorts” in sequined green spandex you can’t see anything but that! I couldn’t take it after too long! (Let’s play!!)
@absalom, are you from the UK? If so, it’s a good thing to not have Kleenex in the bin when you’ve been sick! It would smell awful! But the other business is par for the course for a guy, I gather.
@TitsMcGhee – Don’t you worry; the mailer will be put in with the recycling. It’s all sorted out before we take it to the dumpster, or we’d get in trouble. Our building is very strict.
I’m not so sure what’s in it, as everything is coalesced into one huge pile of junk. But one thing I can say for sure, it moves.
Our trash can accumulates slowly unless I’m doing a lot of cooking. We recycle everything here, too, so that cuts down on what actually ends up in the trash can.
@TitsMcGhee back when i was living on campus in college i had green dragon, i never knew what it was or how it was made, (not that it’s rocket science) but now that you bring it up i’m probably gonna go ahead and do that! i agree it didn’t taste awesome, but i’ve consumed much worse. : p
oh! and i do recycle!! i throw everything in a little wastebasket in my room and pick out the bottles and cans when it goes down to the garage. i heart my planet, no worries
A bunch of paper, plastic wrappings, and a whole lot of other stuff.
I don’t have a trashcan. At least not in the office. But I did just put some dirty napkins, a sugar packet, and the remains of lunch: paper plate from the taco truck. If we had composting here, I wouldn’t have to throw any of that away. I suspect it’ll be a while before Regus office buildings considers compost…
