RESIDENTS in Callan, county Kilkenny have applauded the efforts of an
unknown individual today who left a box full of bottles next to the
local bottle bank.
The anonymous recycler somehow managed to transport the variety of
glass containers to Super Valu car park, in what experts believe must
have been a journey of epic proportions.
“It’s amazing they got this far in the first place,” stated one man,
who was putting green bottles in the designated bin. “I can only imagine
the hardship they must have gone through to get here. I don’t think
anyone can blame them for falling at the last hurdle. It’s a young man’s
game, this”.
Along with the cardboard box full of bottles, the absolute legend
also managed to leave some dirty plastic carrier bags stuffed between
the box and the bottle bank itself.
“They must have been exhausted and just gave up,” insisted another
man, who admitted to already searching the area for a body. “There’s no
sign of anyone passed out or anything, so please God they managed to
make it home alive after leaving here.
“No harm in alerting the Gardai I suppose; just in case they’re lying in a ditch or something.” he added.
It is believed the box may have been too heavy for the person to lift
to the bottle bank hole, and that bending down every time to pick up a
bottle could have caused them serious problems.
The local county council wanted to thank the good Samaritan for their
sterling work, and wished them a speedy recovery going forward.
“We really appreciate everything they did here today,” said Michael
Barry, local binman. “These bags and cardboard will be put to good use,
so thanks again”.
