I have a restaurant that it’s fairly busy. Trash pick-up is once a week and it tends to be quite full by then.

A while ago i went there in the morning before a busy weekend and noticed my trash was absolutely super full. All construction materials, wood, hinges, random shit from a teardown of some old garage or something.

I was pissed because we had 2 days of food and bottles of wine and nowhere to place them so, I jumped inside the trash with gloves and started rummaging the trash that was not mine and found a few papers and invoices of the construction company.

Called them and asked if they are the actual company and if they work in my area. Asked where their office is and loaded most of the trash back in my pick-up truck, drove there and with a friend dumped the trash in front of the office (it was a slightly rurar area, not a busy area) went inside and asked for the owner. I gave him the trashed invoice and asked politely (actually politely) to be more careful of where they dump their stuff because they must’ve made the mistake and thrown it in the wrong dumpster. The guys was fake apologetic.

Went back and moved the camera facing the trash instead of the back entrance but nothing happened.

My wife says I am hotheaded and coul’ve found some way to make it work without looking in the trash, calling, and returning the trash.

Thoughts?

(We brought back just the larger pieces of trash, not everything)

Tldr: guy used my dumpster and completely fille it. I politely moved most of the trash back to the doorstep of his office and politely asked to be more carefull next time
