Geez. How stupid can the dept get. Its just one less cubic foot or more of crap in the landfill if they take it home or sell it for scrap. As for the CFC's they will eventually release it in the air in the dump anyway. One space flight releases more CFC's into the air than all the air conditioners in the world would release if they were opened at once. What a crock and waste of my money to pay the cops and the courts for this nonsense.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/07/16/sanitation_workers_busted_for_scrap.php#comment-1410659 http://gothamist.com/2008/07/16/sanitation_workers_busted_for_scrap.php#comment-1410659 Comments Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:01:02 -0500 <p>Is it against the rules for them to keep discarded items? I always thought that once you put something in an unsecured trash container that it's essentially public domain. Does that not apply to garbagemen?</p>
