Personally, I would rather see government money go towards stopping violent crimes than policing whether or not people throw away used motor oil.
But then again, I care more about people's safety than the environment. Maybe this makes me a terrible person.
I think your neighbor might have a say on the subject... unless he/she happens to be KUChief's neighbor. That is how such laws as this come about.
PS. I don't think it is the police writing these tickets. Around here (in Texas), we have code enforcement crew who might. BTW, next year, I've to join my family to do a mass cleanup of some native shrubbery on our property in west Texas. Apparently, Mesquite is not welcome as a growth in one's property there... state law. Takes too much water (probably more than the natural gas drillers...)
So putting out your garbage 1/2 hour early is an environmental hazard ?
And it's winter so not like the garbage is going to stink to the high heavens in 1/2 hour.

Same here in Michigan where I live. It's a code enforcement person who'd write tickets for things like neighbors dumping used motor oil or leaving their trash cans at the street 24/7.

But it is still the local government spending money on code enforcement rather than protection of citizens.

This is just one of many misdirected LE efforts that waste our tax dollars.
