(WHAS11) - A great debate is underway over garbage and one man who would rather “can it.”
In fact, it was the size of his trash cans that led to all the trash talk in Kentuckiana.
It’s happening in Georgetown in southern Indiana.
WHAS11 News has both sides on this debate.

What an idiot. This man Mr Riggle? purchased 40 small trash cans. He paid a minimum of $40. bucks for them. He could have gone to Walmart, Home Depot ect. and purchased a legal can for less than that. Georgetown sent out letters to all customers last month. They have also tagged cans. Why should G-town purchase them a can. The companies that supply the cans have the lift and You pay almost twice as much a month for this service. Listen to reason Mr Riggle. It is an ordinance! The ordinance is for the safety and the workers as well as to make garbage collection more efficient.
I totally understand what the Town of Georgetown is trying to do. The garbage collectors should not be forced to pick up oversize garbage cans. I have a private contractor for garbage collection and I would never put an excessive size can out. I'll buy a second can and put out two. If we have an excessive amount, my husband goes out and helps the garbage collector. Just common sense. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Thank You
i would buy 100 little cans !!!!!!thats rediculous!Whats this world coming to?
I think that the city needs to back off ad leave its citizens alone. Man has been collecting trash for 100's of years without anyone telling how to do it. We have enough of other necessary things to buy, like gas and food and clothing.... new trash cans?? Come ON!!
