Pay

for cleanup: Impose fee on fast-food debris

Peachtree City is a

beautiful community, and on the whole, most of the

members of the community are mindful of what a great

place it is to live and be a part of such a place.

However, it seems that there are parents that never

taught their children to be respectful of other people's

property.

They provide golf carts to

their offspring, and cars to go to the fast-food

establishments where they consume the food, but it is a

burden to carry the resulting trash, bottles, food

containers, etc., to a trash can. We can only assume

their homes resemble the same trashed appearance, so they

don't care to get up and place it in the containers the

city has provided.

Maybe if it hit in the

pocketbook, they would have some respect. An ordnance

that would impose a 25-cent charge on each and every item

a carried out to help defray the cost of city workers

hired to pick up the trash on the streets and cartpaths.

Maybe this is too big brotherism for the city to impose

this burden. It has worked in other communities and

passed the legal tests. Why should the good citizens have

to carry the tax burden.
