… drama at the dump today!
Chuck here, who works at the dump (the official name is “Public Recycling Facility” probably or something like that) had to climb inside the “mixed paper” dumpster to retrieve this gentleman’s car keys accidentally dropped inside… in the process, he found a second set of mystery car keys! (anyone missing their car keys?.. go see Chuck)…
… Allen (the gentleman who dropped his keys) assisted as much as possible…
.. and in the end, success! (except for the person out there who has no idea Chuck found their car keys in the “mixed paper” dumpster)…
