Dumpster Service Research Paper

I am concerned about the odor coming from the dumpster behind of our apartment complex. The smell is beginning to become overwhelming. Most of the residence can't open their windows because the smell is so strong. In the past few days the kids haven't been able to play outside because of the smell and large amount of insects swarming the area. I am hoping that as the apartment manager, you take quick action to solve the problem.

I have called the dumpster service and they have offered two solutions to the problem. They informed me that they can pick up garbage more frequently as well as bring a new dumpster. They suggest that the dumpster might be old and rusted at the bottom causing liquid waste to get out and smell. The above

He also mentioned that the best things are usually all the way at the bottom of the dumpster. Eighner also points out the stages of a dumpster diver, from being disgusted with to being addicted to diving. The first stage of a beginner scavenger is “filled with disgust and self-loathing” and the embarrassment of being seen and never getting over the idea that they’re eating garbage (Eighner 777). The second stage is finding great things that could be seen as something very useful to them, then realizing that people throw away great stuff all the time, eventually they see everything as ” every bit of glass may be a diamond,.…

    The walk from Windward to the dumpster seems miles away and walking with in one’s hand can make the walk even longer. Students do not take their trash out every day so eventually the trash begins to pile up. One reason students do not take trash out every day is because of the walk so they just wait until it is mandatory that they go. No one likes to touch trash because it is unsanitary.

This is an impressive feat because Bloom avoided coming off as preachy or judgmental in a book that attempts to raise awareness of something that general Americans have already decided it’s not important (xvi). As a result, Bloom’s systematic way of examining every aspect of America's habit of wasting food comes off as interesting…
