City sues man for canceling trash service – Examiner.com — In some cities like Berkeley you get fined for not doing enough recycling. So this guy takes it to the max and gets sued by the dipshits in San Mateo County.
A man who claims to have reduced his waste to nearly nothing out of concern for the environment now faces a lawsuit from San Carlos for canceling his garbage-collection service.
Eddie House, 53, says he was shocked when he was served with a lawsuit Sunday at his Cedar Street home.
The lawsuit, filed by San Carlos Deputy City Attorney Linda Noeske in San Mateo Superior Court on Jan. 22, seeks a permanent injunction forcing House to maintain garbage service. City officials are also seeking to recoup from House the costs of the lawsuit.

Get a life.
What if all the junk mail and newspapers converted to ePaper? And people bought their food in bulk, and brought their own bags and containers for it? You’d pretty much kill the trash business. Once a month pick ups wouldn’t be enough to keep anyone but illegal immigrants employed. Are our local governments so afraid that communities might start taking care of themselves, without needing these expensive services, the gov.s resort to suing the pioneers?
What would happen if all the crime ceased? Would the gov. sue communities for not resorting to some violent acts, now and then?
Sometimes I think that gov. doesn’t want to educate the kids about drug abuse early on, because it would kill such a cushy job they have busting their heads later.
The guy can’t have 100% zero trash at all times.

Huh. Right you are. EPA-approved stove, catalytic converter, can’t burn garbage.
