It most certainly is!

It helps a lot to have someone who watches after this kind of lawlessness. If people were allowed to do whatever they wanted to, society would revert to anarchy. We all know how great that is!
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

The latest news from Freehold Sanitation: Food waste and empty (used/dirty) to-go containers made of paper are now to go into the garden waste (green) bins. In addition, the green bins are now collected each week as opposed to every other week, that's to discourage pests (rats) from getting into your food waste if it sits around for two weeks. My bill just went up another 10%, probably to cover the cost of picking up my food scraps. I can't figure out why I have to do all of the sorting to make it easier for FSD to dispose of the trash, AND I have to keep paying more for them to come by and collect it. A lot of times I don't have anything in my trash can and my recycling bin is half empty and there's no garden waste because it's the middle of winter but I still have to pay 42$ for the privilege of having a noisy truck come down my street each week just to collect a few dozen cans of Miller Lite.
I miss the old days when everyone used to carry their bags of trash to the bin at the end of the street that was collected every week. Some weeks the bin would overflow, but the cost was less and it wasn't as noisy as it is now with three trucks coming weekly to each residence to pick up the different colored bins and then on Wednesday I have to listen to the same thing all over again because I happen to live near the boundary of the collection route.
At least we don't live in France where the garbage piles up when the socialists go on strike.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

We're so proud to have an active and concerned citizen like yourself in Freehold, Nobar.
A new problem has emerged. Poor people from the Des Moines neighborhoods next to Freehold have been trying to sneak past the gated entries to dump their trash in the bins of our citizens.
Everyone wants to get into Freehold. We can be proud of that.

Brother Nobar, you could save on rubbish collection costs if you compost your food scraps and garden waste. There are composting bins you can buy that keep everything clean and pest-free. Once it's all broken down it can be used on gardens as mulch. I know that sounds a bit greenie - tree-hugger, but if it saves money, why not?

Composting is for communists. I toss all my household trash out in a big hole over in niggertown on the south side of Freehold.
Or rather I have my servants do it.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

I don't know what garbage collection is like in the UK, but in the U.S.A. we don't get a discount for having less garbage. The water utility wants us to conserve to save money, and Alliant energy wants everyone to use CFL lights and turn our water heaters down, but the garbage company hasn't done anything to reward residents who don't generate much garbage. I'm all about saving money, but I think I'm going to have to wait until hell freezes over for my garbage bill to go down.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.
