"Seattle OKs $1 fine for adding too much food to garbage bins"
I fully understand that this is well intended; however, I cannot agree trying to legislate issues like this is the right way to accomplish that intent...
In the Seattle Times, Daniel Beekman reports the details on this:
"Under the new rules, collectors can take a cursory look each time they dump trash into a garbage truck. If they see compostable items make up 10 percent or more of the trash, they’ll enter the violation into a computer system their trucks already carry, and will leave a ticket on the garbage bin that says to expect a $1 fine on the next garbage bill."
