Maybe they'll start having one of these every a week.
Or, better still, put some bins out and after a few fines for not using them, watch how clean it gets.

IN all seriousness, thanks media helpers and whoever dreamed this up.
It's not the ultimate answer to the problem though.
But then, we know that already.

GET SOME BINS OUT!

I have to agree with you regarding bins.

There a very few cities in this country which tak the trouble to clean the streets and the general attitude everywhere is 'I don't wnat it so throw it over the wall or onto the nearest vacant lot'. Nice people and shower twice a day but otherwise very dirty with no environmental sense.

Oh goody. Does this mean that investigative journalism will now be allowed?

Oh wait... You were serious?

Well in that case
