What this guy apparently doesn't seem to realise, is that a landfill isn't just filled with rubbish. Animal waste gets sent there too. His hard drive could literally be buried in a ton of dog muck.

    Could be worse. Could be pig manure.

    Aren't pigs herbivores?

    I'm sure he realizes that. Why wouldn't he?

    He simply values the chance to find that money more than the disgust of going through trash

    This has been going on for years. Every time his story is in the media, he brushes the health aspect aside. The council has brought it up repeatedly, but he either doesn't understand, or doesn't care.
