A Sandy Springs sanitation worker said he was taken to jail for picking up trash too early in the morning, a violation of the Georgia city’s ordinance.

Kevin McGill will spend the next 14 weekends in jail because he picked up trash around 5 a.m. one morning.

The Chief prosecutor Bill Riley said that in the past fines have not worked well and that jail time would be the only way to curb the practice.

Apparently picking up waste too early in the morning has been a recurring problem no matter what approach is taken to limit the issue as the city’s 911 system goes haywire when the garbage is picked up earlier than 7 a.m.  He asked the judge to sentence McGill to 30 days in jail.

McGill, who didn’t have an attorney with him when he was sentenced, opted to serve his time on the weekends, spreading the sentence out over more than three months. McGill said he just wants to get back with his wife, two sons and four dogs.
