Just when you think you’ve heard it all, along comes the garbage police, snooping and physically digging through garbage cans. Y’know, if that were to happen to me, the garbage cop would find himself in the garbage can, upside down and unconscious. I’m so sick of this environmental shit I could scream.
I don’t recycle and I’m not going to, and there isn’t a goddam thing anyone can do about that. My crap goes in the garbage where it belongs.
And now you’re going to hear the story about a woman who has been fined two grand for throwing away cat litter. You gotta be kidding me. This is asinine.
WASHINGTON – It’s the law in D.C. – recycle or face a fine from the Department of Public Works. But is enforcement of the law going too far?
Dupont Circle resident Patricia White says she has been fined eight times for throwing homemade cat litter in her trash. The fines total $2,000. White says she shreds old newspaper and junk mail to use as cat litter. She believes she is helping the environment by reusing the paper and avoiding cat litter you will find in stores.
