Writing Prompt: Garbology

From Imaginative Writing: The Elements of Craft by Janet Burroway

If people are characterized by the objects they choose, own, wear, and carry with them, they are also revealed in what they throw away.  Garbology is the study of society or culture by examining and analyzing its refuse. Write a character sketch by describing the contents of your character's waste basket.
