Does this mean that the homeless will have access to the items cleared away by Greenwaste on our clean up days? Perhaps they can earn some money by helping to sort what is reusable and get first pickings on what may be salvagable.

@Bystander. I hope you are being ironic? Or are we back to the Great Depression Era and city hobo camps forced on top of city dumps?

The whole plan for homes for the desperately poor on sea level rise Bayland, a wastewater plant and a city dump ... All for a $1 a year lease. Note the plan is a big stink all the way around.

@NTB2...the hobos of yesteryear and today's homeless population are two entirely different entities.

Being a hobo was a self-chosen lifestyle while being homeless is often due to other outside factors.

@Bystander...the only problem with the homeless scavenging at a wastesite is if they misappropriate aluminum and glass recyclables that the garbage company collects to recycle en masse.

Other than that, no problema. In parts of India, hundreds of impoverished people sift through mounds of garbage daily hoping to find something useful. It's kind of like the lottery.
