What's in your trash can?

Sooo I have an assignment in an archaeology class to go thru people's trash cans and there's no wayyy I'm doing that.

So I wondered if there was anyone that would be willing to go thru their own trash and tell me what's in there? :)

Or if you just filled one you can tell me what you filled it with!

I need to know everything like food, paper, lawn clippings etc. I also need to know what general order you put them in the trash.

Thanks ! ;)

trash day is tomorrow, so everything went to the curb

and it's too cold for me to go out and dig through them now

From these items I can infer you got drunk one night, had a toe nail cutting accident that required a bandaid and lots of paper towels. :eek:

Sorry I despise germs so I am not going through my very full garbage bin to write down whats in there. Maybe when I put a fresh bag in, then I might keep a record of what I throw in it for you.....stay tuned.::p:
