Port Washington police were called to the business at 7:46 a.m. Thursday in reference to the issue, according to police reports. Employees said the man, who appears to be in his 70s, visits the station every day to dig through the garbage for cans.
After employees asked the man to stop digging through the garbage, he spit on an employee's car, police reports said. The man was not there when police arrived, but they advised the clerks to call the department again if the person comes back.

Since when did it become illegal to dumpster dive?? Personally, I wouldn't do it myself, but the poor old guy may be short in funds & is just lookin for some extra cash. Besides, at least he's recycling which is more than I can say for alot of people that I know personally. Leave the old dude alone for pete's sake!!!

Actually, it's illegal, since it's private property. The guy probably has to rip open bags to find cans and probably leaving a mess!
