COVINA >> A man rummaging for recyclables earlier this week discovered more than 200 pounds of marijuana discarded in a dumpster in Covina, officials said.
The unusual find was reported to police Wednesday night, Covina police Sgt. Ray Marquez said.
A man looked into the dumpster at Badillo Street and Grand Avenue and found six, 33-gallon trash bags stuffed with marijuana, the sergeant said. Police took possession of the pot, which was promptly destroyed.
Investigators were looking into how the large cache of marijuana ended up in the dumpster.
