I got fined by the Garbage police

[zinnedyx65]

As I got home today I noticed a sitation on our garbage can. I did not seperate our Recyclables all the way and were givin a citation by the garbage police. our neihbor said they saw some bum tearing through our cans but didnt realize it was the garbage police. Wow, you get a ticket if it`s not seperated with at least 85% recyclabes. I`m not paying it.

In my opinion recycle laws should be nation-wide.Especially for the food industries.....we ALL need to change the way we do things....NOW!

We can have a garbage can subforum for this thread and anything about Billy Meier photos.

..that's a thought, Wilhelm, although I think there ought to be separate forums for flying and flightless cans & lids.

You got my sympathies, zinnedyx65! I hate it when that happens, my town has gone fanatically green too and it drives many of us crazy.

Here its been made a bit easier,were given two containers,ones for trash and another a totally different color is for recyclabels.Its easy really.But theve got to be clean before you toss them in the container.It takes a full month before the recylce container is full.

A month, Carol? Between newspapers, cereal boxes and milk jugs, we've got a tub full of recyclables every week.

We get our recylables picked up every other week,I just dont fill up that huge container that they give us.I put in Milk Cartons,Egg Carons canned tomatos etc,but I just cant fill it up any sooner than a month,btw,I use the newspaper to line the kitty litter box and for starting up our fireplace.

I avoid the middle man and take my stuff to the dump. Recyclables go in large containers suitable for dumping and non-recyclables go in black plastic bags. Our town has been recycling for decades and sells the recyclables as a means of paying dump expenses.

Sorting your stuff at home is no big deal. Have a container for recyclables and another for non-recyclables and toss your crap accordingly. I have never seen anyone fined here for not separating their stuff; but I'm all for it. If we are unwillilng to do our part, how can we expect corporations and governments to do theirs?
