Sounds like a good idea if the money does go towards cleaning up. The streets are disgusting in places here because of gum.
I always throw my gum in the bin.
If gum is to be reclassified as litter does that mean on-spot fines will be enforced on people who spit their gum onto the pavement? I hope so....
i think the solution is attaching miniguns to the cctv in town centres then turning anyone chewing gum into a bloody mulch
Encouraging swallowing may also help...
yeah, its never actually tied my intestines in a knot
edit.... oh :smilie4:
Are cigarette butts classified as litter there?
I always thought anything you threw on the ground that should be put in a trashcan was litter, and I would include gum and cigarette butts in this. We do get fined for littering, but it is hard to police all places at all times.
A lot of gum on the ground would be irritating. Some places here may have a problem with this, too, and I have just not read of it.
Where do you stop the taxing for the clean up? I see a lot of plastic shop bags, such as walmart bags at times.....do we tax those?
Are you not already paying a city tax for street maintenance?
