Ticos and Trash

I bought a Mr. Coffee machine but could not get it to work. So I put it in a large bag and put it in the trash. A short time later, I noticed the bag was gone! 

Someone had taken it, and this had reminded me, once again. of the difference between the North American and the Latino attitude towards trash. 

We have grown up rich, and they have grown up poor. They carefully sort through the trash, hoping to find something useful. We don't bother with anything so trivial.
