San Francisco plan to inspect residents' garbage
mercury news ^ | Aug 1, 2008 | The Associated Press

Now hear this:

According to the The Associated Press, the gay city's Mayor Gavin Newsom has proposed inspecting its residents' garbage. Anyone not properly sorting their garbage will be fined. Do it again and you'll face delousing or perhaps beheading.

That is all.

The mayor who can’t even distinguish his wife from the wife of a staff member wants the people to sort their trash. Is something wrong with this picture?

lol-ing...

“Liberals suck.”

Absolutely. What more can be said.

This is beyond sick, but what else can be expected from radical leftists.

That’s next.

Great. If San Francisco is doing it, it means that Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels will be implementing it up here within the month.

Here in Germany....most of the major towns now have a couple of garbage inspectors on their payroll. They actually have a staff car and make a couple dozen inspections per day...and hand out fines. The only positive I saw out of this was the illegal dumping of items on public property...that really came to an abrupt end because they tracked folks down (via bits of evidence the idiot left at the scene or a car tag that someone noticed). In those cases, the inspectors made a difference. But the normal household folks....came to hate the inspections and the various notes that would be left behind. Any slip of paper in the regular garbage can....got a reprimand (it has to go in the paper dumpster). I stand here now....with four cans in front of my house. I barely get regular service every two weeks now. The paper can is only taken once a month, and the bio-can every three weeks. This is pretty silly...but the poltical folks won’t back down on this game.

He has too much time on hands. I guess he finds garbage redeeming. I'd say that apopros for a liberal these days. No one else would have thought up such a stupid proposal!

Any state or city that has enough money to inspect people’s garbage deserves to go bankrupt.

Get real, folks.

So Newsom is going to inspect everyone’s garbage....even illegal aliens?....not his usual MO.

So cut out the middle man, and sell the crap yourself, and quit paying the company.

Thats' the thing - you *can't* quit paying for the collection. It's mandatory.

Gone through the roof, here.

they tracked folks down

The German garbage fuzz have yet to meet the level of professional dumping in SF. They can't catch anybody that they could get a dime out of, they leave no evidence, just piles of garbage.

I would suggest all adults make use of Depends and leave plenty of “treats” for the masters.

I was thinking the same thing--dirty diapers, dog poop, week-old chicken guts, etc. Got a neighbor that's giving you grief? Hate your boss? Throw a few plastic water bottles in their trash can and sit back and watch the fun!

How can they tell whose garbage is whose?

I’d just say that it wasn’t *MY* garbage, that someone left it in front of my home while I was sleeping.

(That, or put the garbage bag in the car, head to a vacant lot... and leave it.)

Make sure your name isn’t on anything in it, such as junk mail.
