The Proprietor Review

The regional government here; The Thompson Nicola Regional District gave out calendars at new years. This month the calendar picture is of garbage cans , two; one blue and one grey. They are buying a new truck and it will eventually pic up household garbage and recycle at the curbside. The City took out and add asking for a contractor to scan serial numbers and deliver these cans to households in Merritt. The cans will belong to the city and there is a list of maintenance demands published about them, including where to place them how to clean them and where not to put them in regard to snow. One of the chief demands is to keep the serial number in good condition and cleanliness.

A source said they will be collecting solon green to make into oil as a quip that’s  funny however there is getting to be a lot of this with smart meters and  wireless chip cards every where. We can remember when the district started running a landfill here it was completely fenced and had limited hrs. Numbers of people took garbage out to the dump about 6 miles to the west and when confronted with a locked gate they neatly piled  there bags oot side the gate. We think that they had hoped that there neighbours that worked a t the landfill would do the rest as this was new to the rural folks of this valley.Not so the Conservation officer was dispatched and garbage taken apart for evidence and some tickets for littering given. Some were challenged in court but to no avail.

The district conditioned was with a sponsored docu drama The Clean Bin Project  .  The film chronicled a couple that lived on minimal garbage for a year, they had no other point of view and had many awards, however no cautions about propaganda. It was a good public relation film and presented a view point that will lend heavily into compliance to a new waste pick-up system coming on board here.

Opinion :Be ready for similar action over this take nothing for granted as once occupied by the system it robs a big part of your emotional health.

The government takes garbage seriously.
