Sorry, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
Reply:I worked as Refuse Control Officer for a couple of years, and yes, there are 'trash police' Virginia. The questions are fine, but as for cleaning, I had an inmate crew clean out ditches and drains. We have not only dirty roads, ditches, drainage problems, but it keep inmates busy. The pay went to working off fines, and room and board. When they broke even, at half time they qualified for work release. We have hundreds of thousands of roads in need of repair; city, county and state buildings crumbling; and bridges, ditches, watersheds in danger. If they do the crime, let them spend some time working on projects that our government can not afford to pay full price to contractors.
