Trash day came this Wednesday and Echo Park resident Gloria Sohacki was finally able to use her blue recycling bin for the first time in three weeks. As you may recall from previous stories in The Eastsider as well as by the LA Times’ Steve Lopez, someone had dumped hundreds of copies of Cybersocket, a soft-porn Gay magazine, in Sohacki’s recycling can, making it too heavy for her as well as sanitation crews to move. The magazine eventually fired the distributor thought responsible for the dumping and emptied out Sohacki’s blue bin last Friday.

Sohacki thought she would never again see another copy of Cybersocket. But then she returned home from exercise class this morning and noticed the sidewalk littered with plastic twine used to strap things together – like bundles of magazines. That’s right. Someone had dumped another stack of Cybersocket in her container. Sohacki can still move the bin but would rather someone had dumped copies of either the Oprah magazine, Crochet or Family Circle instead.
