The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
Serious enough that they apparently have people whose whole job is digging through resident's trash looking for non-recyclers. I was not so careful with it and they sent an itemized list of everything I should have recycled. It came with a warning that next time would be a $50 fine, followed by $100 and up to $250 for each additional "offense".
My husband's grandmother has 8 different bins for all of the different things she has to recycle and she STILL gets ticketed all the time. She's in a different county though.. ours isn't nearly as strict. We can throw it all into one bin, she has to separate everything.
The town uses the recycling program as a revue generator. Less the actual recycling, and more the fines they levy on people for not doing it. If they didn't have to pay the garbage pickers, they'd save a whole lot of money.
