I need help regarding people going through my trash
Hi
This is a really sensitive subject for me, so please be kind ❤️
I am in the middle of a big purge and I think it is going really well. But I have come to this problem:
I live in an appartmentbuilding with a locked common space only for peple living here. This is also where our trashcans are.
I am only throwing stuff out. I am too overwhelmed to donate and sell (this is VERY sensitive to me, so please be kind). This means I am also throwing usable stuff.
And I’d be happy to let the homeless/poor who go through our trash take those items.
Buuut: my energylevels are low, so I throw everything in the same garbagebag. Literally everything.
And here comes the problem:
The people who go through our trash don’t clean up after themselves. They leave stuff scattered all over.
So I have found very personal (to me at least) items out on the street, for example underwear.
And that feels very humiliating (?) and personal to me.
I am autistic and adhd so this may also affect how I feel.
One of my friends suggested I put something on top of the bag like ketchup to keep them away from the stuff I throw out.
But I think that is very dehumanizing.
Help - any kind input and suggestions are very welcome
