2. Most "no picking" laws are from fear of litigation

should the picker get injured in the process. Others, like this one, seek to keep all metals recycled because they bring a decent price for the town.

The time to pick garbage is when it's out on the street, before it goes to the dump.

I furnished a whole series of apartments in Boston by picking trash, but I'd never have gone to the dump to do it.

3. that's too bad. someone needs to start a donation pantry around there

i'm dropping off some food and misc. at my local one later today. (the mail collection of food--which ours didn't get picked up--was going to be taken there anyway)

4. There's a difference between "recycling" and stealing city property.

She stole city property. She broke the law. It's open and shut.

Stop whining and get over it.
