Father fined for overfilling bin
The law is, of course, the law.
But there is a certain lack of PR savvy in the choice of person to make an example of, and the way it has been done so far.
In one, more tabloid, account, the authoritarian protagonists seemed to be quite hung up on the fact that it was claimed to be gaping 4" when in fact they had measured it at 7".
At least it was in the silly bin, you silly billies!
There are a few areas of outstanding natural despoiling in our area where the stab-proof sporters from even the local plod don't fancy tackling the visiting inhabitants for a few weeks of each year.
They also seem to have not yet had adequate advice on the problem with too much waste, and hence seen fit to look at what can be recycled.
One question. If you do end up with an excess, even after all the recycling options have been exhausted, what are you supposed to do? Flytip?
I also wonder as to which aspect of LA funding the proceeds go? Better services? Or payroll and pensions?
Acronym-spinning time: WASTCAN (Wielding A Sledgehammer To Crack A Nut). I like that one!
Junkk.com promotes fun, reward-based e-practices, sharing oodles of info in objective, balanced ways. But we do have personal opinions, too! Hence this slightly ‘off of site, top of mind' blog by Junkk Male Peter. Hopefully still more ‘concerned mates’ than 'do this... or else' nannies, with critiques seen as constructive or of a more eyebrow-twitching ‘Oh, really?!' variety. Little that’s green can be viewed only in black and white.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
Nice one. I was going to comment on this but you've said it all.
ReplyDeleteOne little suggestion - make it WASTECAN - Wielding A Sledgehammer To Even Crack A Nut!
