Apparently, they are more caring for cans in my neighborhood. My issue, though, is watching my neighbors use the trash cans with no lids, with loose trash in them. Next thing you know, the recently discarded fast-food bag is floating down my street.

Now, the 25-cent bag fee currently being pondered by the City Council is another thing. I, for one, would love someone to smack around some of our councilpersons. The documentation requirements alone are ridiculous.

As for the city regulations for keeping trash in containers….I’d be more willing to get behind this if the DPW hadn’t lost 2 lids and an entire can of mine. Seriously I’ve come home from work and no lid to be found anywhere on 2 occasions and down the alley on numerous others and once I came home to no garbage can anywhere to be seen! Now I have my can bungied to my fence and put out bags in the alley.
