    I watched an episode of "NYPD blue" or one of the other cop shows situated in NYC where they had trash cops. Not just trash cops they had undercover trash cops who "staked out" a couch that had been tossed out onto the sidewalk. When some scrappers or other hooligans attempted to remove the couch the "trash" cops swooped in and busted them. The point of the couch was a dead body was hidden in it.



    On a more serious note the recycling programs fail to make money for any community they cost. The programs are the darling of politicans everywhere and a cash cow for those who are in bed with them.

    I have read you posts and I see a re-occurring theme technogyrecycling: you want those opperating in NYC to registar and you started small. I have to say I wonder why you are pushing the NYC license to scrap? Mike.
