Can we please do away with

Can we please do away with these lousy, flimsy plastic free newspaper boxes? Not only do they serve to provide free bench covers to drunks, and as waste disposal areas to those too lazy to find a trash can, we now have clear evidence that they make handy projectiles by a good stiff breeze.

I beg your pardon

Some of us use free newspaper boxes as waste disposal on principle.
