Junk Pickers Illegal? Let it Go

More legislation.

Did I dream it or is this Avon Lake council thinking of stopping the junk pickers from recycling trash left out on Sunday nights? Trucks go through my development and gather stuff left by the curb. Sometime people leave childrens' bikes and toys that look almost new out on the curb hoping someone else will take and use. It is strange that council would consider stopping junk pickers.

Is this the council that is environmentally concerned? Is not our city spending at least $6,000 for the which helps the needy? Is this not the city council that instituted recycling? These junk pickers use, recycle and create income the best they can.

Junk left at the curb is junk, refuse, garbage, but one man's trash is another man's treasure. Council stop cluttering the books with all of this junk legislation. Leave junk pickers alone.
