Just wondering if the folks that pick up the trash will "inspect" the contents. What will they do? Refuse to pick it up? Call the trash police? I figure it will be business as usual but you never know.
I do think this is to raise awareness BUT with the law in place action could be taken. I also feel that after a certain period of time then the tickets will start being issued.
I have nothing against recycling. I have been doing it for years but I am provided a bin. I know lots of folks that are angry they will have to drive to a recycling location to dispose of the items. I don't think that is fair and I don't blame them for thumbing their noses. It just seems that it could be a bigger problem for them at some point.
I wonder how much sense it would make to just have all the trash sorted somehow. By that I mean it is all picked up in the one container and taken to a "sorting location". (The thought sounds expensive) There would be no need to run 2 trucks where recycling pickup is available and folks would not have to use gas/time to find a recycling location. ????
Any way you slice it more of a burden will be created from one end to the other though.......that seems to be job #1 for government anymore.
How will this be handled?
