In Defence of Garbage

In November I wrote about my neighbour who spent a great deal of money protecting his garbage bins.

Apparently, that wasn’t good enough. We have had another crew of workers, including welders, blocking part of the lane for two days to make improvements which must have added greatly to the cost of defending their garbage bins.

They have reinforced the wire mesh and cut another door into the sliding door.

I am amazed at the expense they have gone to. It might be assumed that the gateway protects the building as well as the garbage area; but the wooden fence that covers the balance of the rear is only about five feet tall and even an out-of-shape old fart like me could get over it if I wanted.

I should also mention that the sliding door has been open a lot more than closed since it was installed in November. So I am at a loss to understand the purpose. Oh well.
