Rubbish

One recent morning I ran into the garbage police. It's true, there is such a thing. Or maybe they're called sanitation police, or something. Their uniform sort of looks like that of a traffic cop - the regular dark navy blue pants and a light blue shirt. I really didn't know these officers existed, but they do.

"You mixed recycling with regular garbage!!" the cop yelled to a man leaning on his elbows out the second floor window.
"What...??"
"You're mixing regular garbage with recycling, you can't do that, I have to give you a ticket for this!"

I kept on walking. They check our garbage??? We try to recycle, but when I feel lazy I just throw the cat food cans in the trash. So much pressure to recycle properly. What is happening to the city?
