But with the left-wing environmentalist lawsuit-happy feel-good California government (Post-Gov. Reagan), it is now an arrestable crime to leave a TV in the trash (or car tires, paint, or most anything). So the way they do it now is that they hold recycle drives at designated locations a few times a year, and highly-paid men in white plastic suits come out to your car and "safely" remove the TV and send it to a very costly hazardous waste dump out someplace in the Mojave. It is also a crime to pick anything out of the dump, or trash cans/bins on public property if a "civil criminal" has put one there.
I'd go further but this isn't the politics forum...

Isn't it great, that crime is so LOW in Cali, that the pigs have so much time on their hands, that they have time to go after someone for taking an old tv/stereo/computer, out of the garbage? That, and rousting people for:: Smoking too close to a building, Smoking on their porch, having a barbecue, parking on the street, working on their cars in the driveway, pre-heating/cooling their cars in the driveway, watering their lawns,and using fuel oil, instead of diesel in their vehicles.. THOSE seem to be the focus of LEO's in this country, nowdays.... Guess REAL crime is non-existent nowdays... (SARCASM)
Sigh... Been there, done that. It seems that so many people today, just CANNOT keep out of other people's affairs. If somethig is in the garbage, why should ANYONE care, if someone gets it, and "turns it around", or puts it in their collection? Or, any of the other thnigs that I mentioned?
