Why are there more and more people rummaging through trash cans in residential areas?

This phenomenon has also been found in my residential area in the past two years. At that time, I thought it might happen in individual residential areas, and I didn't care too much. Later, I moved to a new home. The current residential area is much better in terms of personnel structure and living quality than before, but there are still old people rummaging in the garbage bins, and some garbage bags that were originally packed have also been unpacked and rummaged, but they have not been cleaned up and scattered all over the floor. For this reason, the owners of the community have great opinions and complained to the property one after another, demanding to control this behavior or do a good job of cleaning in the later period. For this property, a notice was posted, but the effect was not obvious. This phenomenon still appears, and some old people stay near the trash can, waiting for their owners to throw garbage. Later, I also analyzed the reasons.

Some old people are old, and their children want to live in the city with their parents. In addition to taking care of them, I also hope that parents who have worked hard all their lives can enjoy their old age. Parents don't know their neighbors and can't chat. There is nothing to do except cooking and cleaning every day. They are bored. Just picking up bottles and cans to pass the time, besides taking a walk to exercise, you can also earn money. Why not?

Nowadays, city life is very stressful. It costs nothing except breathing every day. Parents want to be healthy, be able to do what they can, and earn some money to support their families. However, their age is not suitable for going out to work to earn money. At the same time, they can't walk far by cooking and cleaning every day, so it may be the most practical to pick up things that can sell money.

Parents want their children to be healthy and happy, and hope to reduce the pressure of life for their children. There's nothing wrong with picking up some garbage and rummaging through the trash can. As a child, I certainly don't want my parents to work hard at this age. I want them to enjoy their old age. When children find their parents picking up garbage or rummaging through trash cans outside, they are actually against it. Except that I can't accept it in my heart, it's embarrassing to enter and leave the community every day. But in any case, I told my parents not to do these things again. My parents promised them face to face, but my children sneaked out after work and took various protective measures for fear of being seen by them.

This is our home, and we don't want a pile of smelly garbage at the door when we go out every day. I also understand our cleaning aunt. In fact, they do a lot of cleaning work every day, and their task is also very heavy. Maybe you inadvertently rummaged through the garbage all over the floor, which became the basis for deducting our cleaning aunt's salary.

If you have any better comments or suggestions, please leave a message in the comments section below.

My eldest sister upstairs is 65 years old, and her pension is more than 5000 yuan a month. Now she is looking after her son. Her eldest granddaughter is ten and her youngest grandson is three. She is busy cooking, washing clothes, buying vegetables and sending her granddaughter to school eight times a day. She is as busy as a snail's shell!

As long as she has time, she goes to the community to rummage through the garbage bins, and every little piece of paper and cigarette case is gone. Many a mickle makes a mickle. At night, my daughter-in-law comes home from work. She ran like a hero, carrying a big bag and picking up junk in the community. Catch up with the waste, she will pick it up after midnight. Basically, I can sell more than 40 yuan a day, and one day I picked up 90 kilograms of cartons. I was selling a 60-cent A Jin, which is 54 yuan. In the past two days, she said that cardboard is 40 cents a catty and mineral water bottles are one yuan a catty, all of which have fallen in price!

Many elderly people, even if they are paid, like to pick up trash cans and rummage through bottles, cans and cartons. You can sell it, save it and sell it. An old man in the community sells an average of 600 yuan a month, which is what the old man who collects junk said. There are also old people who have no wage income and can still work when they are old. They only pick up trash and are not afraid of dirt and smell, and sometimes they are cut by glass slag!

I live in Beijing and have changed four communities, namely Cuicheng Xinyuan Community, Fangzhuang Community, Panjiayuan Community and Chang Ying Community. The first two communities are before 20 10, and the last two communities are after 20 1 1.

Objectively speaking, from 20 1 1, when people go to work and usually go out, there are more and more people picking up garbage in the community (mainly people over 50 years old by visual inspection). Moreover, it usually takes several people to pick up a garbage dump. If you are late, you can't find it.

Fortunately, there are many people living in the community, and the time for throwing garbage is uncertain. Pick it up and you will always get something.

I think there are two main reasons:

First of all, the number of elderly people has indeed increased. Obviously, I don't need to say this. Many old people don't travel, eat, drink and have fun every day as everyone thinks in their later years. On the contrary, the meager retirement income is not enough to support their lives, and scavenging, ranging from ten yuan to dozens of yuan a day, has become the most important supplement to life.

Second, frugal old people who can't help themselves. I have seen many old people pick up garbage while taking care of their grandchildren (I personally disapprove of this way of taking care of their grandchildren, so I won't say how dirty the garbage is). These elderly people generally come from rural areas and fourth-and fifth-tier cities (including suburban counties and county-level cities).

Knowing the hardships of life, scavenging is actually picking up life.

With farmers entering the city, this kind of old people has also increased.

So we can see that in recent years, there are more and more elderly people turning over garbage.

This is a regrettable thing. In my neighborhood, people are rummaging through trash cans sooner or later. At first, one or two people were rummaging around, but now it has grown to more than a dozen people, all of whom are elderly residents in the community. When they rummage through the trash cans for what they need, they will take out the garbage bagged by residents and sometimes scatter it on the ground around the trash cans. The clean ground was thrown around by them, which added a lot of workload to the cleaning staff in the community.

Why is this happening? First of all, some elderly residents have low pensions after retirement and their lives are more difficult. They are too old to work and earn money, so they pick up plastic bottles or paper shells in the trash can and sell them. Other elderly people didn't think of rummaging through the trash can at first, but they were a little jealous when they saw someone find something in the trash can that could be sold. They thought that everything in the trash can belonged to everyone, so he went to pick it up, and I also went to pick it up. As a result, more and more elderly people rummaged through the trash can. Once the habit is formed, these old people will gather together to observe whenever they see the trash can.

Originally, I felt sorry for these people who rummaged through the trash can. However, when they tore up the packed garbage and spilled it all over the floor, causing damage to the environment of the community, a sense of disgust arose. I think it is normal for them to pay more attention to the public environment when rummaging through the trash can. However, their behavior of destroying public health really deserves no sympathy. Can poverty be a reason to harm the public interest?

Many old ladies have money for retirement and are willing to rummage through the trash can because of three years of natural disasters. Eating low standards has created their fine tradition of thrift, hardship and simplicity. Now that living conditions are good, many young people pursue fashion and have no place to tidy up. They throw leftover clothes and casual clothes in the building (some clothes or clothes are even 80% new), and the old people who come from poor days are distressed and reluctant to see them. In addition, the price of packaging paper shell is second only to steel. The tide of online shopping is gradually heating up in China, and all kinds of packaging with recycling value are gradually increasing, which makes the old ladies who "try" to pick up garbage taste the sweetness. Later, more and more money, not only reduced loneliness and boring loneliness, but also increased income for the family. Most of them feel idle and unwilling to be lonely, so they can enrich themselves. ...

This is the living habit, or life creed, of the elderly in previous generations.

What life creed?

Diligence and thrift.

Needless to say, they can be slaves for life.

How frugal is it?

When a grain of rice falls on the table or body, it is immediately picked up and stuffed into your mouth, not to mention the leftovers have to be eaten while it is hot the next day.

The day before yesterday, I passed the garbage pool outside our school and found a hunchbacked old lady looking at the garbage in the depths of the garbage pool.

A passing aunt repeatedly shouted: "rest, rest, so old!" " "

The old lady replied, "Not very old."

After careful observation, I saw that although there were wrinkles on her face and hands, her hair was black and blue. It seemed that she was over sixty years old.

Unexpectedly, when her aunt asked her how old she was, she calmly replied, "ninety-five."

Admire!

There should be a guaranteed subsidy or something, right?

This is out of habit, because it will not be extravagant and wasteful, and it is shameful to throw away useful things.

I think those who save and recycle resources will be rewarded.

However, we should pay attention to hygiene when picking up garbage to prevent the infection and spread of bacteria and viruses. Not everyone has a steel body like that 95-year-old mother-in-law. Pay attention to environmental hygiene.

The most ideal thing is that the whole society realizes garbage sorting and recycling and strict management, which is really a great event of environmental protection, resource conservation and social civilization!

There are indeed more and more people rummaging through trash cans now, and the reasons behind it are worth thinking about.

At present, the garbage in each community is stored at a fixed point, and some communities also require residents to store waste garbage and recyclable garbage as much as possible. However, after everyone throws away the garbage as required, people often go to the trash can, pick out the bottles, cartons and pieces of paper that can sell money, and then throw away the rest of the garbage at will.

1, careful observation will reveal that most people who are willing to go through the trash can are elderly people, and young people are unwilling to go through it even if invited, for fear of losing face. The reason why these old people want to rummage through trash cans is nothing more than picking up some items that will be recycled by waste recycling stations and selling some money.

In fact, these old people can't get much money for selling garbage, but tossing a trash can may sell a few dollars. If the harvest is good, it will sell for more than ten yuan at most, which will not help the living expenses much. However, in their view, one can be sold.

In fact, the people who are willing to go through the trash can are basically the old people who don't have much money and don't have much pension. On the one hand, it is frugal to endure hardships all one's life, on the other hand, it is worth picking up garbage and selling it to some households to supplement their families, even if they can buy a cabbage.

Every time you throw garbage, you often meet an old man or an old lady rummaging in the trash can. If there is something to sell in my garbage bag, I will take it out and give it to them myself. You can't earn money when you are old. It is not easy to live. Try to understand. If the family's economic conditions are good, who wants to go through the garbage can and smell bad? Who doesn't know it's dirty? It shows that there is still a big gap between our life and prosperity, and we still need to work hard.

5. China has a large population, and its living conditions are very different. Rich people can't understand the lives of ordinary people. They find it strange and even annoying to rummage through trash cans. But after all, the rich are a minority, most of them are ordinary people, and they are all fighting for survival and life.

Therefore, there is no need to look at those who rummage through trash cans with strange eyes. Although they may make a mess of the garbage, they should be respected.

Thank you for your patience in reading, and welcome your attention and comments. To express their views and communicate with each other!

Thank you for going to these trash cans. As far as I know, we are in the community now. After you are taken away by the cleaner every morning, you will send the garbage directly to the garbage station. Now there is no garbage collector in the garbage station, so you just pack it and take it away by car. I will be born when I arrive in the mail. He will think about it. What is garbage? Garbage is what we call garbage when we misplace this resource. Garbage is also a resource. It's a pity that we waste too much now and throw everything away.

What about these discarded things? Writing is a resource. How can we make rational use of it? Why should we be grateful to these garbage dumpers? Because they are classified into a new resource, which helps them return to their proper position and reduces the damage to nature.

Yesterday, I saw a huge ant nest full of ants. Tens of thousands of ants made a big one in it. I just had a, er, green belt on a roadside under the city sky, but I didn't see any food, so I went to the trash can, hoping to turn some food over to the ants. I walked a long way, sent four junk stars, and finally sent them to a glutinous rice discarded by a person, that is, sitting on that zongzi. This is mine. He ate about half and threw away the other half. I put the zongzi here on the ant nest, hoping they, uh, have a happy holiday and eat zongzi.

This morning, I found a steamed stuffed bun full of miscellaneous grains in the dustbin. The whole grains are good, but there are peanuts, beans, no big pox, and corn. He thinks this thing is quite good, but it is 20 Jin heavier than discarded typing. I wonder if it's expired. Where shall I take you to laugh? I put it in an empty place and let it leave me. In this picture I found, ants are fed for the first time, worms are fed for the second year, and birds are fed for the second year. Well, I think this kind of food must be put away, and it can't be thrown away as garbage, which will be cursed. It's still in the dustbin. I chose five or six chopped buns and bags and threw them away. I hope there are ants, birds and cats on this grass, and I also found several cans of things I made. Your side, I didn't eat much at all. A big jar, I took it out and put it in a suitable place. I hope the passing kittens have food.

Many old people who go to pick up garbage have excellent water conditions. They live in a big house and have a lot of pensions. Then why are they picking up garbage? Do they care about money? Life is getting older and the world is getting older. It is good to do things early and live a purposeful life. Give yourself a reason to do garbage sorting. Tzu Chi volunteers in Taiwan Province Province, they just organize the elderly to do garbage sorting. In Taiwan Province Province, there are 6,000 such garbage accounts, all of which are actually created. Every time garbage is sorted, there must be hundreds of old people in it. Some old people are 70 or 80 years old, and every day is like going to work. They went to Xiaotian when they arrived. Well, they are a little tired, but they will sleep comfortably when they get home. In the process of giving, it is a healthy choice to give for the prosperity of human life.

In fact, it is not difficult for us to see some garbage collectors in the garbage collection places in the streets and alleys of the city. In the past, garbage collectors were all people living in relative poverty, but now we see some old people and old ladies dressed in bright clothes. So why do they rummage through trash cans for a living? Actually, they are not short of money. They are actually restless people, from that era, even if they have money.

This is not a lack of money, but a state of mind, and it is not a shameful thing. It's normal to do it yourself and have plenty of food and clothing. It's normal. I have been used to frugal labor all my life. When I am old, I let myself give the old people a rest, but they don't want to. But in the city, the old people really have nothing else to do, so it becomes what they can do, pick up some beverage bottles and paper shells and buy a few dollars a day.

About rummaging through trash cans everywhere, what many people may not accept is that after all the garbage in the trash cans is turned out, the others are not cleaned up after finding something to sell, which leads to many trash cans being messy, unsightly and smelly, especially in summer, which is easy to attract flies and mosquitoes, so many people hate this behavior of rummaging through trash cans.

There is no shame in picking up garbage or selling money. The key is to pick up the useless garbage, don't throw it around, put it back in the trash can in time, and wait for the garbage collection car to collect it intensively every day. Otherwise, it will do great harm to the surrounding health and attract people's attention.

Why are more and more people rummaging through trash cans? In fact, there is another reason, that is, the prices of paper shells and bottles are considerable, and it is also a good income to pick them up every day, so for many people who have leisure time, why not? This is why we see more and more people.

Don't ask the poor in downtown, the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.

Life is not forced, who will rummage through that trash can and dig out anything of value, and have to endure the pungent smell of garbage.

After all, there are many people living in a residential area, and a large amount of domestic garbage is generated every day, some of which can be recycled, and can be sold after being collected and resold.

Every day when I come back from work, I will always see someone rummaging in the trash can of the community, taking out the packaged garbage and rummaging for something valuable outside.

It is a mess and stinks, and the owners of the community are helpless. They can only complain to the property company and ask the property to give a solution, but it has no good effect.

There is an old lady in my neighborhood. Because her husband has passed away, she has two sons, but the old lady has no pension of her own. The eldest son's daughter-in-law disliked the dirty old man, and the son ignored the old man, let him go and didn't support him.

The youngest son loves to drink, and basically his monthly salary is spent with fair-weather friends. Even the basic living expenses are not given to the elderly. The old lady is forced by life and goes to the garbage can in the community every day.

For the older generation, because of the hard times of those years, they know how to tighten their belts.

Bottles, cans, paper lids and plastic bottles in daily life can be collected and sold. My mother never throws it, which makes the whole house a mess.

In order to improve the living environment, I often do ideological work for her. After all, it's just a drop in the bucket, and it can't help my children relieve any pressure.

Once the nature is formed, it is difficult to change, sometimes it is often handled by itself, and most of it is thrown into the trash can in the form of garbage.

Concluding remarks

I feel that I have worked hard all my life. As a child, I want to support the elderly and be filial to my parents. Even if there are irreconcilable contradictions at home, I can't let go. I am still very helpless when I am old.

Sheep also know how to kneel and eat milk, let alone people.

In today's social life, Chinese traditional virtues are getting farther and farther away from us. When children are unwilling to support the elderly, parents should know how to protect their rights. After all, people will get old one day.

The concept of raising children to prevent old age should be changed. After all, the future life is unknown, so we should be prepared for our own pension. Both endowment insurance and medical insurance should be done well, and we can only say that we can live and cherish it.
