I have been wondering for a while how the trash men empty our dumpster. It is locked, like all the dumpsters on the alley. I wondered if there was some secret way the dumpsters opened, like maybe when they pick them up with the trash truck the side magically opens up or something.

Ever inquisitive, today I stalked them and found out the answer.

It is nothing so complex. They have a key. They just unlock the dumpster, pick it up with the truck, put it back down, and lock it again.

So that got me to wondering- surely they can’t have a key to every dumpster in the city.

Well, they don’t. They have a master key. And actually, so do I! My key opens every dumpster in the city. Everyone probably has a key like this.

Now, isn’t that kind of amazing?

This information also explains how the homeless people still manage to get into the locked dumpsters and strew the trash all over the place. They, too, have access to these magical master keys.
