What I Found Today...

Here's what I found today by stopping at the recycling bin in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Mt. Vernon. I was probably only there a total of 5 minutes and was able to find 13 complete inserts by just shuffling through the top layer of papers. Maybe you should give it a try...you'll never know what you'll find. :)

If you do decide to give it a try you should know that the weekends or Mondays are the best day to look for inserts because that's when it's the fullest. I think they empty the bins on Tues. mornings.

  1. I have long wished to find a recycle bin in our area, but wasn't successful. The other week Anthony pointed out the ones at our Library. Today was my first experience there = very successful!!!!!! :) There was a huge stack of not-looked-through papers right on top of one of the THREE bins there and I really helped myself. Now tell me, why was I shaking? Excitement? Nervous? Guilty? Is this really allowed? :)

  2. I have looked on the outside of the recycling bins and it doesn't say anywhere that "it's property of xxxxx" So I feel it's okay.

  3. Oh wow! What a haul. I have not been able to find any recycle bins around here, although I am sure there are some somewhere. Now you have me REALLY determined to find them! :) Enjoy those coupons.

  4. :D @ Rose... Actually, I felt the same way at first. Now, it's old hat, I guess... but, I still get excited when I find a big stash!
