Long and the short of it is they can trace it back, they CAN fine you, and they will.

You will sort your recycling or pay dearly for being lazy.

It's that simple

I'd try to fight it. They can prove you even have recyclables or that you don't take them somewhere yourself so you can make money off of it

Or you could not be lazy and juts recycle...

well... we used to recycle until the recycling truck didnt pick up our stuff for a few weeks, and in the summer all the sugar in soda cans attract flies and the thing was overflowing

so we just started putting it in the trash can

well i wouldn't recycle either then

I'd get on the phone and ***. Make those *** do what they're being paid for. If they're not gonna do it, stop paying them.

It irritates me when people don't recycle. I think it's a good idea!
When I first moved out here in AZ, the desert was nice and clean... now, since the community has build up over the years... you can pretty much do your furniture shoppin out here.. my little brother and I have found: A broken car; a smashed computer; a giant pile of broken beer bottles; pottery; baby cribs; mattresses; bags of old ripped clothes- just lying out in the desert.. its so sad.... On the positive side of things- we bring back all the golfballs we find out there and give them to our grandpa after washing them! :D

Is it general waste recycling, or one specific instance of recycling? A lot of cities will nail you if you say, throw away a big, toxic item like a computer without taking it to a proper recycling center. Because that's actually kind of a big deal.

But I've never heard of them saying "You did not put your soda cans in the correct bin this week! 25 demerits!"

Obviously you are the victim of an injustice imposed by the county/city and who knows - maybe you can sue them. =o

Why not? They gouge you all the damn time with taxes and when you need a cop, there's never one around. When you look at the speed limit wrong, there they are.

Let's try to find a way to turn this not only into something positive, but something monetarily productive as well ~.^

Theory- someone was looking to steal your identity because they wanted to make you feel awful for no reason! So they searched your trashcans and...

I think you likely have a nosey neighbor. I think it's unlikely that the state would keep tabs on it, but I could be wrong.

Could someone else possibly being throwing their stuff in your trash? Wouldn't be the first time that's happened.

...and if they're going weeks at a time without picking up your trash - yes you are technically a victim.

It's probably some holier-than-thou douche trying to scare you into recycling. Not saying it's bad to recycle but if you don't want to you shouldn't have to.

You know, I'm surprised that nobody has cried out and said:

"It is my given right to throw whatever I want in the trash, and why should you tell me what I should or shouldn't throw in the trashcan and what I Should or shouldn't throw in the recycle bin?!?!?!?" and scream "First Amendment! Second Amendment! Sixteenth Amendment!" or something like that.

Anyway, night, hope this doesn't get flame-cored early on

Maybe it has a secret micro chip in it, and a camera.... ya that too and they monitor your brain signals while you sleep, and when their reading your mind they check to see if you recycled that day or not....
or the driver checks off if your bin isn't out.

Our recycling system around here is ran by 95% handicapped ppl, think the driver is non. The plant is also 95% as well with a couple ppl over seeing and such. And no i'm not joking, its job creation.
