To the Editor:
I am writing regarding the Long Beach Township ordinance that fines homeowners for a garbage lid being found off the garbage can.
Last July, we went to bed with the garbage lids firmly on the cans. At some point during the night, individuals put firework waste in our cans and left the lids off. Around 6 a.m. the next morning, the town representative drove by and proceeded to go through loose garbage that was being removed by seagulls and placed it in a kids pool on the property.
