Dear Garbage Man

Dear Garbage Man by Gene Zion, illustrated by Margaret Bloy Graham

A new garbage man sees so much interesting stuff on his route. Rather than put in the back to get hauled off, he puts it on top so it can be reused. At the end of the route people take all the stuff he had saved. However, the next day, all that stuff is back out with notes. It wasn't as reusable as they thought. That day it all gets hauled away to the dump. It is a story about naive ideals that don't quite come through.
