What do you throw away?

After spending a few days discussing safety, hazards, risks, and precautions we randomly picked up 4 bags of trash from a Connecticut apartment building dumpster. What do you throw away? This might make you think twice about your trash! In these four bags we were able to find out the following without any further research:

• Full name
  
• Date of birth
  
• Prescriptions (Complete with primary care doctor, prescription numbers, and pharmacy)
  
• Home address and also the address of their parents
  
• Car (Make,model,color)
  
• Recent hospital visit information
  
• Names of two roommates or visitors from food receipts
  
• Debit card info (Last four digits and bank name)
  
• Hair, fingerprints, DNA
  

Next, as part of our intermediate forensics class we will be processing and evidence packaging to State Forensic Lab guidelines!
