For example, if you mix trash with recyclables you would be fined at the landfill. However, this fine is rarely passed along to the original person throwing out the recyclables.<BR/><BR/>The City of Durham and Goldboro have "banned" recyclable material from going into their landfill. This includes cans, bottles, paper, etc. These communities have trouble enforcing it though. <BR/><BR/>And don't forget our state has an "aluminum can ban". But again, it is hard to enforce. So maybe there are special recycling elves out there giving citations for not recycling properly. We can only hope!RE3.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543573397397273654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37249809.post-33854807458543360772008-11-12T08:19:00.000-05:002008-11-12T08:19:00.000-05:00Hey, RE3, I really like your theme this week. As ...Hey, RE3, I really like your theme this week. As a recycling coordinator, I hear lots of rumors about people who have been fined for mixing recyclables with the trash. How many cities have real penalties for not recycling properly, or for not recycling at all? I think some of the stories I hear aren't entirely true, but that doesn't stop people from repeating them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
