This just isn't right. Guy goes out of his way to recycle/reuse all his trash, and what happens? He gets sued... The Link
There may be something a bit "off" with Mr. House. “I don’t understand a city ordinance that requires you to fill up a can. That’s downright foolishness,” he said. That's not what the ordinance requires, is it? The requirement is a contract, not that he actually fill up the can. Moura said House’s lack of garbage service was brought to the attention of city officials after neighbors complained that House was causing foul smells by burning his garbage. Looks like he may not be much of an environmental hero after all. Or a good neighbor.
If you read in the story, he denied he burned trash. Not to say he didn't though. Regardless, if he really DID recycle/reuse/give away enough to not have trash, I personally think its pretty pathetic that he would get sued for not contracting for services. I recycle enough that I only need a small once a week pickup, yet we have a huge bin (no option for a smaller one) and there's twice-a-week pickup.
