A garbage collector outside Atlanta has been sentence to 30 days in prison for start his work too early.
Kevin McGill, 48, who works for Waste Management Inc, took a guilty plea deal after violating an ordinance in Sandy Springs, north of Atlanta, that bans collections before 7am.
He turned 48 on Friday, but reported to a local jail at 6pm after being allowed to serve his time on the weekends so he can still work collecting wealthy residents' trash so he can support his wife and two children.
The bin collector didn't have a lawyer when he was sentenced and has filed a motion to withdraw his plea, McGill's new attorney Kimberly Bandoh told Daily Mail Online.
quote:
However, the Court Chief Solicitor Bill Riley asked for a 30 day sentence for the offense of picking up trash around 5am in the suburb and the judge granted the stiff penalty
quote:
Mr Riley has stood by the request for jail and says that 'fines don't seem to work' and 'The only thing that seems to stop the activity is actually going to jail.'
The solicitor said that residents of Sandy Springs, which include professional athletes and executives for Delta Air Lines, begin calling 9-1-1 when they hear early garbage men, according to WSPA.
He said it was the right decision to punish McGill, who had only been on the route for three months, rather than his company, which the city has contracted to pick up its residents' trash.

This is usually my first move when I hear strange noises outside, too. Garbage men, and especially the sound of their trucks scare the shite out of me.
This was probably just ISIS reconnoitering for future attacks. Nice try, frickheads...the residents of Sandy Springs aren't so easily fooled.

Saw this on reddit earlier. I don't even know. Insufferable people. Hopefully the exposure of this benefits Mr. McGill .

Um, wouldn't the company be held liable? I doubt he's a rogue one man garbage guy.

If it's against the law, it's against the law. I would give him a pass of he didn't know about it but sounds like it's happened more than once.
They did give him a break by allowing him to work while also serving his time

Stealing time is just like stealing anything else. He's a thief and thieves are the worst.

I fail to see the issue here. People are still asleep at 5 in the GD morning.

Congrats to Auburn on your new garbage man.

Our criminal justice system fricking sucks.

Good thing he didn't teabag some drunk. But seriously though, was he warned a time or two and ignored the warnings? I mean, what is cruel and unusual when the crime is early bird violator?

This is Christopher Brennan, the author of the shitty article in the Daily Mail. That rag is the voice of the would-be British Socialist Republic. Always looking out for the down-trodden (a.k.a. subscribers) they are.
