Here's how a dumpster can keep burglars out of your home

ORLANDO, Fla. – Several local law enforcement agencies are being proactive to try and prevent burglaries this holiday season. 

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office posted on its Facebook page that its burglary box was back by popular demand. 

Dumpsters have been placed around for people to discard cardboard boxes of high-end gifts like flat-screen TVs, gaming consoles, tablets and laptops.
