Default Greys caught dumping at North Glenmore

Anyone seen this yet? A couple which look to be around 60ish are caught on tape dumping their garbage at North Glenmore Park. What a couple of old pigs. To me, litter bugs rank right up there with child molesters. Glad they got caught. If you recognize them, give 'em a hard time because a $750 fine isn't enough.

What the hell man! Taking that to the dump or finding another dumpster or something isn't that hard.

I hope they get nailed.

Is it really so difficult to head down to the dump and pay $5-20? Old people make me sick, this is so stereotypical.

Pretty shameful thing to do. I hope they bring the fine-hammer down hard on these two.

Its also illegal to use someone elses dumpster. People do it all the time but it really costs business owners. Especially if they have to get it picked up because they have no place for their garbage.

Illegal? What section of the criminal code?

Maybe they would have a point. I'm not justifying what they did but dump fees are insane. It cost me 50 dollars for a load I dumped last week. (not for a hooker either)

Yep, we used to get screwed by that in Okotoks. If someone forgot to lock our dumpster, it was basically guaranteed that we would find it completely full, sometimes with deer carcasses.

People think it's harmless, but then we have to go out and spend $50 to get them to do a mid-week pick up, because we need to use it. in the end, $50 isn't the end of the world, but it's still $50 out of our pockets for your convenience.

What they had (or at least what was shown on the video) would be a minimum charge...

I believe it's a by-law, but one of the more informed CP posters might know for sure.

This is exactly why I have no problem with having cameras everywhere. The only people who are extremely impacted are douchbags who break the law. I hope they get fined to the max.

Even David Suzuki would disagree with this. Elizabeth May.... not so much.
