  1. I’m Diving in Your Dumpster

    July 18, 2009 by Blondette

    What would someone learn about you from your trash? Investigators use trash analysis not just for evidence, but to figure out who someone is. (Or is that just something I saw on TV?)

    You can learn a lot about someone based on their rubbage (yay thesaurus!) Assume you know nothing about me- not my gender, my name, age, income level, whether or not I have pets, etc.

    So, here’s what’s in my trash today:

    • Lean Pockets Box
    • Weight Watchers Dessert Boxes
    • Sweet Potato Chips empty bag
    • Gluten Free Cheese Puff empty bag
    • Moldy Coffee Grounds and filter
    • Empty Sugar-Free Cherry Cola Box (Jones makes sugar-free!)
    • Empty Sparkling Water Box (I enjoy Lemon, Lime, and Berry flavors)
    • Assorted Mail Marketing Pieces (Direct Mail) aka “Junk Mail”
    • Used tissues
    • Sourdough Bread Bag (with one last slice- slightly moldy)
    • Kashi TLC Fruit and Grain Bar empty box or two
    • Empty Burrito Bols from Chipotle (x 3 or so)
    • Chipotle Brown Bags
    • Chipotle Cup (large)
    • Empty Purina Complete Cat Chow bag
    • Empty pasta box
    • Empty can of black olives
    • Empty can of corn
    • Empty “Parma Rosa” sauce packet

    Accessory trash includes used cat litter!

    So, who am I?

    Take the next step, does your trash reflect who you want to be?
