Sir: I was reading a very good article by Bruce Corcoran in the Feb. 12 edition of the Chatham Voice, “Curbside rules = cash for C-K.”
Seems the three-bag limit on garbage days will save C-K money. That’s a good start. But I was quite impressed with what Rick Kucera, manager of environmental services said.
One was people need to be educated about recycling. Right on, or common sense, I say. Yes, Rick, people can get recycling boxes just for the asking.
It seems some people are too lazy to apply the practice and would rather use a garbage bag, and food cans are not washed out – the crows will have them out of people’s garbage bags to end up laying out in view down streets, including bottles etc. Perhaps, Rick, a three-bag limit will reduce some crows.
But even if a one-bag limit was in force and there is foodstuff in it, it would still attract crows. Crows don’t know only six crows to one bag – they aren’t that smart.
Even some pizza businesses have their big cans so full they can’t put the lid down. What a gourmet haven for crows.
