Right? And how is this even remotely the local council's fault??
In his mind, he could have recovered the hard drive by now if the city had given him permission to dumpster dive for it.
Having done that myself admittedly, some people do that due to lack of electronics recycling in their area and simply not being aware of how to properly dispose of them.
Took a while before I learned that the bottle depot few blocks from my old place did electronics recycling, and where I'm from at least, they teach you how the municipal waste system works when you're in elementary, but I don't think they ever touched on electronics. Do remember them touching on chemicals like cleaners and whatnot.
While it's better than not teaching kids at all, I believe in high school a refresher should be given to students in a general mandatory home economics course so that it's touched on again when people are closer to entering adulthood and can learn more specifics of the system that they wouldn't have understood before.
So his girlfriend trashed his HDD eleven years ago and then is mad that they don't still have it? I'd expect it to be gone after like week one
Easy solution: Town should say yes, but charge $650 million.
They should pull a TicketMaster: $30k for staffing and a $649,970,000 "facility fee".
Ha, exactly, and require cash upfront.
