The Garbage Guardian

For weeks, residents of Fox Valley, WI, have been left baffled on garbage days.
After bringing their cans to the end of the driveway in the frigid cold, somehow, they always miraculously ended up empty and back in their garages by the morning – and it wasn't the collection company.
🔎 Playing detective... So resident Melody Luttenegger decided to solve the mystery. After waiting what seemed like forever out on her porch, she was surprised when, just after 8 AM, an older man pulled her cans up the long driveway and into her garage.
The hero in question? Seventy-five-year-old Dick Pontzloff, who has spent his retirement completing kind deeds for strangers.
- "I got sick of doing nothing," he told WFRV. "So I started going around and picking up garbage cans. Not just certain ones, everyone's."
