Prescription bottles are nothin'.
+1, Novanglus. The problem is that those blenders are EXPENSIVE.
Novanglus, the Supreme Court ruled in California vs Greenwood that there's no reasonable expectation of privacy that applies to garbage left for collection.

So, going through the trash is perfectly legal unless there's a local statute that forbids it. Be careful what you throw out!
