North Korean households receive heavy yearly scrap collection quotas as new year begins
Those unable to gather recyclables on time must pay cash equivalents, and quotas are sometimes raised arbitrarily, leaving North Koreans feeling "shackled" by collection demands
North Korean neighborhood watch unit leaders have given households their yearly quotas for various scrap materials they are supposed to collect for the government...
According to the source, one neighborhood watch unit in Chongjin provided the following quotas to each household in a meeting on the evening of Jan. 14: 40 kilograms of scrap metal, 10 kilograms of scrap paper, 5 kilograms of scrap rubber, 2 kilograms of oil crops, and three 25-kilogram sacks of dried night soil.
There are many observations a chap could make about sacks of night soil, but I'll resist the temptation for now.
In other news, I see Lord Mandelson has resigned from the Labour Party.

In other Lord Mandelbum news, this one will run and run.

Now that's what I call recycling.
dearieme - interesting, let's hope it does run and run and Mandelbum remains in the headlines to remind us who appointed him.
DJ - yes, the complete cycle. I bet intestinal parasites are recycled too.
Lord Mangledbum wants to spend more time with his pensions. Maybe he could threaten to commit his memoirs to paper. Then again, he would maybe prefer to stay alive.
Doonhamer - yes, staying alive must be fairly high on his priority list at the moment. Staying out of clink too.
Congratulations on getting Capt Underpants in the same topic as night soil. Could be difficult to tell the difference.

Penseivat - thanks, I suppose night soil could be more useful than Captain Underpants, so that's one difference.
