A Little Maybe History

According to high sources who wish to remain anonymous, the Allied Waste mandatory garbage pick up issue came to be because so many people were using the business dumpsters without permission. Also people would throw their trash in containers at construction sites. Amazingly, even though a number of these individuals were identified, no action was ever taken against them--even though it is against city ordinance to throw your garbage in a dumpster that does not belong to you.

Unfortunately, this is why Allied Waste pushed the proposal forward--to stop this illegal activity. Businesses and contractors complained--and they had a right to complain.

So the city did not--or could not--enforce one law, so another took its place. Now it has to enforce payment from those who refuse to pay. Can the city enforce this?
