Shame, shame on you. To all the people who work for the community and collect $70,000 to $100,000 a year and make laws which really hurt the poor people in town.
You cannot understand how great the feeling is when you find some old roof tin for your doghouse or chicken coop of if you can build a wood shed out of scrap wood you found in the garbage dump.
Well, with lots of money you don’t have to think about this. But mind you there are human beings out there who have to live day to day with a minimum income. The collecting of other people’s garbage is a great help for them.
Canada signed the Kyoto and Paris agreement and one should be glad and happy and thankful for each piece of garbage that does not end up in the landfill, that finds a useful place in someone’s garden.
Trapper cabins, woodsheds, doghouses, how much stuff was built from all the things somebody thew away and did not need anymore. Somebody’s trash is somebody else’s treasure.
So maybe for an income of $70,000 you can think this decision over and scratch this dumb new law. The majority of people in our district will be grateful and by the way I never heard or read about an accident in the dump area.
So think about it, think of mother nature and do not mess her up even more. A $10,000 fine… that’s a one-year income for most of us. Dump people. Shame, shame on you.
Sincerely,
Mona Muller,
