2 THE GEORGETOWN GEMINI WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1996 Area business owner g BY JAMIE HARRISON The Georgetown Gemini A Georgetown business owner is sick and tired of getting dumped on -- liter- ally. Keith Kindness of Coun- try Craft is tired of having people fill the garbage dumpster he sahres with peo- ple's household garbage. "Tt.costs us $100 each a month, so it's $50 each time it has to be dumped. "When I come in and find it piled high with household garbage, I either have to empty it out myself or go home -- if I don't have access to my dumpster, I can't do my work," Kindness said, referring to his sawdust col- lection bin which he empties into the dumpster. "ve tried putting pad locks on the bin, but then people just pile the stuff on top." Once, after locking the bin, he returned to find that some- one had discarded two mat- tresses on top of the bin. Onanumber of occasions, Kindness andhis partner have _ donned rubber gloves and torn open garbage bags in search of identifying papers s WASTE: Bundles of fliers sit piled beside the trash dumpster rented by Keith Kindness and his partner. They have both found other people's trash in the dumpster, which ends up costing them money. (Jamie Harrison photo) with the names of the cul- prits. "When I phone them up to ask them not to use our bin they always deny it, saying, 'It's not me.' Well, who is it then?" The final straw came last week when he phoned The Geminito tell us that bundles of Sears fliers and Penny Saver newspapers had been left in his dumpster. At the time, he estimated that there were 30 to 40 bun- dles of Penny Saver newspa- pers and 10 to 15 bundles of Sears fliers in his dumpster.

"I guess their driver just didn't want to deliver them anymore, so he dumped them. "People don't seem to re- alize that if they use a dumpster, it ends up costing the business money, which means the price of the mer- chandise is going to go up. It ends up costing everyone money in the end." Correction In last week's story on Opti- mist Youth Appreciation Award winners, The Gemini misidentified.one of the win- ners. Davina Taylor was the Senior Optimist winner from Georgetown District High School. The Gemini regrets and apologizes for the error.
