Every day that I come home there is a new smattering of litter in my already painfully ugly front yard. It would be nice if the city could provide us with more public garbage cans but something tells me even that wouldn’t stop you idiots from flinging your fast food wrappers, condom packages, empty containers, stained rags, receipts, discarded papers, and whatever else you no longer want to carry around with you, wherever you damn well feel like it. Yeah, I know, it’s so fucking irritating to be stuck somewhere with a handful of garbage that you can’t throwout properly, but much like needing to take a sudden dump, you’re not going to just squat on the side of the road like animal, right? If you can hold in your shit until you get home or to a washroom then you can damn well hang on to your garbage until you see a fucking can. Have some respect, you stupid littering assholes. —Oscar The Grouch

I fully support this bitch. You are correct, though, in assuming that having a public garbage can would not help. I have a public bus stop with an attached garbage can that is regularly emptied by the city (I’ve seen the city worker do it with my own eyes) and I STILL have tons of garbage in my driveway on a daily basis and half filled coffe cups perched on top of my fence.
Well said!
110% agreement here. I often wonder if these pigs will ever learn. Nothing irritates me more than some fucking pig that can’t walk 2 or 3 blocks to throw their garbage in a garbage can.
Some of the litter tards are the same morons who piss and moan if garbage ends up in their yards but don’t respect anywhere else. Good Bitch OP
SO agree with you 100% although as a green geek who DOES carry garbage until i find a can, i have to say i’m suspicious of the lack of receptacles around this city.. i get the sense halifax is looking to revive some of it’s loss with those hefty littering fines.
agree will all but SHITD 2 – 3 blocks? don’t you mean 2 – 3 feet?
more are popping up everywhere.
Some even have solar panels on the top. for what purpose, I’m not entirely sure…
but they’re there.
I walk and bike the rails to trails in the BLT area, you would not believe the amount of garbage tossed from vehicles that end up in the ditch and roadside. People are too lazy and ignorant to properly dispose of garbage.
I wonder how many people are ever ticketed?
sebastian – your latest comment clearly shows what a class act you are.
