Tried of Slob Hunters and Their Garbage

[Karl Marques]

Oh,but,that's not allowed. It's "cruel and unusual punishment". The Ontario Human Rights Commission says so.

True, but I don't see why they can't do some sort of volunteer program for inmates. I imagine that a lot of them would jump at the chance to get out of their cells and do some work just to break the monotony of prison.

Real outdoorsmen, eh?

Tim Hortons take out should have a surcharge (payable to the municipality) on all take out items as I think half the wrappers, cups, bags etc. end up on the side of the road!

Take out surcharge, me and my friends had discussed that during a hunt/fish outing way back when. There would be some flack at first but people would adapt, look at shopping bags for example

Good idea! I used to supervise a highway clean up with high school kids twice a year. Our garbage bags were filled with Timmie's refuse. Our clean-up happened to conclude very close to the local Tim Horton's. On a particularly cold, wet spring evening after the clean-up I popped into the Tim's and asked if they could spring for some hot chocolate for the kids in the clean-up. No can do says the manager. Didn't offer a reason just a firm NO!

Maybe,you should have added".........seeing as how 95% of the garbage the kids picked was Timmies stuff." LOL Any manager with half a brain should have seen where that was going,buttoned his lip and ponied up. That manager was a T-O-O-L.

its not tim hortons fault that there garbage gets thrown ou into the ditch. they provide lots of containers on their properties and also have notices on their cups.

I have hunted all types of crown and public land and I have seen garbage of all types in all places. My guess is a lot of it is from local rural people who don't want to put it out at their place.
the worst I have found is a spot where multiple people must bring there ATVs to do oil changes, or its just where they leave the mess. tons of old oil containers and other garbage all piled up. I've also seen construction waste, probably entire truckloads dumped down ravines.
I cant wrap my head around what outdoorsmen doesn't see the consequences of their actions when making a mess at places where they are going to return to hunt or fish or camp. I guess they just figure someone else will take care of it. luckily no one I know thinks like that.

yup that`s how the kids felt.

You`re right Bowj so I say just charge the deposit on the cups and we`ll put them all in a separate bag to get the return ( Just like beer bottles). I wonder how the pop industry has avoided the deposit in Ontario. I think every other province has deposit on pop cans.

If you have ever moose hunted in logged out areas you will see multiple oil dump pits, skidder batteries and all kinds of garbage. Idiots are all over the place not just the city.

I think plastic water bottles are neck and neck with Tims cups for the most tossed items. At least Tims cups will eventually break down.
Each spring around here the local Tims sponsor clean up crews with vests, coffee and donuts for the annual road clean up.
