Garbage Bylaws Are Rubbish!

Every one knows what to do with their paper and cardboard but what about hazardous materials such as paint, pesticides and used moter oil. people don't know what to do with this stuff. They don't want to throw it in the garbage so they wined up storeing it in their shed or garage. The city tells you you must recycle and they give you a list of what you can and can not throw out in your garbge but they don't do a very good job of dealing with the hazzerdous waste.

In my job as a rubbish man a common situation that we come across is people moveing out of their houses call us to come get their trash and junk but find themselves stuck with all the old paint and oil they have been storing up. The city should make it easy to get rid of this stuff insted of being heavy handed with fines becouse the result is alot of hazzerdous waste being dumped down the drain or on the ground and it is a problem that effecs the entire comunity. We find ourselves telling almost every costomers were to take their oil and paint. The fact that nowbody knows what to do with this stuff proves that the city aproch to waste is ineffective and narrow minded.
