I picked up trash and took it to the dumpster one warm morning in August and checked inside to make sure no visitors were in there before I dumped two huge barrels full of trash inside the dumpster. Sure enough, I spotted a pretty good size raccoon near the back of the dumpster…

he wasn`t moving at all, looked like he might have been a little intoxicated, so I put the five foot long log inside so he could easily climb out when he sobered up and then dumped the barrels into the other dumpster. I checked back before leaving for the day and discovered that he had been able to get out. I was glad, don`t even like the idea of them getting scooped up into the trash trucks for an unpleasant ride.
