Heartless useless hapless wankers (Ssantas take on collection bins)

hang on – the charity bins are run by a charity, why shoudl the gummint, or you the taxpayer impose fines on people leaving goods for them amd setting up complex cctv monitoring systems ? just pull the damn bins out.

I guess the only issue is that a) you may have weirdos/unsavouries going through your stuff on the front yard b) it makes the streets look ugly!!

Thumper: it works well? That’s it then, we won’t see it here….

They do it succesfully in melbourne…. it also gives people an opportunity to go around and scavenge for useful stuff that other people don’t want…. helped me out when I was struggling for cash….

If the cost of dumping your items at Mugga Lane was lowered, there might be a little more incentive to go there…

Frankly I’m appalled that the Mugga Lane operation receives income from

1. The council to provide waste disposal services
2. People who use the dump
3. Sales of recycled items
4. Harvesting methane off the waste

They’re making a packet and I’m assuming that they are paying for all of their costs from item 1.

It’s about time that a little more social responsibility was handed down and dumping of rubbish was made free again.

Canberra needs a free twice yearly hard rubbish collection. Lord knows we pay enough for our rates.

Then, the housing commision types who dump their hard rubbish at the charity bins, won’t need to.

I must admit when I was a teenager the charity bins were a good place to sleep when I was too boozed up to know where I was……. I would hate to think that the generations of kids that are following in my footsteps would have to contend with all sorts of garbage such as suggested above!!

You know, I’d love to do a costing of all the “I want, I want” postings that crop up here.

If it’s not people bitching, whining, moaning and complaining (I know they all mean the same thing but one seems insufficient) about any of the activities of the government, it’s expecting the world to be laid out for them on a platter, with every possible service and amenity on offer.

Just like an opposition party I guess. (Who never seem to feel the need to revisit these positions when the wheel finally turns)

(For the record, I think charity bins are an essential part of society and that people shouldn’t just dump their shit wherever they choose)

Unfortunately this is not a new story either. I read something like this every 18 months or so.

Well said Santa. don’t worry about bonfire, he hates anything that might possibly make a contribution to society. It is not the fault of the bins that people are irresponsible and dump stuff. I’m surprised you aren’t advocating we kill all the people, instead. I’ll vote for it, if you promise to go first.
