 I can't count the number of times I have had to rummage through the trash to find a receipt I had inadvertently thrown out!
The trash can was clean. I put paper trash in bags surrounding me. I wasn’t in direct contact with the gross stuff!

I had visions getting stuck in the trash can and my wife or neighbors finding me unconscious or worse:(

Oh man! You are the bravest! No way I’d be getting into our trash. Completely forgot to vote on this challenge. Sorry, not that you wouldn’t have still won!

Congrats.

Been there, done that! Funny. I can only assume that was a very clean garbage bin and was filled with recycling materials rather than true garbage :)

Great shot. Nice composition with all the trash going foreground to background and then to the hand. Well done humor is always good for extra points.
