The cops told him to dump water on them from his third story window, but he can't figure out how to get the grates off the windows. 100 years ago, they would just dump their chamber pots on the noisy alley dwellers.

Depends if there's a local ordinance. In a lot of states, the municipality gets reimbursed through a grant for half of the (recycled)tons collected-residential and commercial. So a muni could end up losing valuable funding. Also in some residential contracts the hauler and the municipality split the proceeds from the sale of recycled materials.

i meant like, personally, do you feel it's theft - not necessarily the law. there are plenty of laws that i don't consider in line with my moral sense. i'm a hippy in that if someone needs my trash, they can have it. i live within the "city" limits so while i get my recycling and trash picked up - i pay for that service.

Those that can pay should pay, the rest should go to the library, when it's open.

as some isp's are instituting a maximum download use nowadays, yes, it's plausible and reasonable.

Victim blaming? Wow. I guess if you mess up your router settings, you "asked for it."
