Lack of Litter Lawsuit & Recycling Resources

by

Recycling Bin:SophieI’m getting better with recycling but Eddie House has me beat. He says he has no need to toss trash on garbage day but he has been sued by the city because of it.

I’m guessing it’s a bit of a neighbor’s feud. Eddie admits to complaining to the city about the apartment beside him because of litter and parking issues. Neighbors have called on him for burning something foul smelling but Eddie says he was just burning wood.

  • ” 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.”(City Sues Man for Canceling Trash Service, Tamara Barak Aparton, Jan.29, 2008)

It will be interesting to see what becomes of it anyway. It sounds as though there are two sides to this story. Besides the burning bit Eddie could probably teach us how to recycle more thoroughly.
