“New York City hires the otherwise unemployable to stroll the streets peering through the clear plastic of citizens’ trash bags for infractions of the numerous and bizarre recycling rules [‘wrapping paper (remove ribbon and tape)’ is recyclable, but not ‘paper with a lot of tape or glue’ — and who decides what ‘a lot’ is?]. Fines for residences start at $25, but they zoom as high as $500 for ‘four or more Notices within a six-month period.’ You can contest your fines by hiring an attorney or waiting hours for your case to be called ‘at any ECB [Environmental Control Board] Location,’ as the ‘Notice of Violation’ advises.”
