Excuse me, but how can it be legal for a city to fine people for not recycling?  Cleveland, Ohio, plans to do it and to use high tech devices to monitor residents to determine if they are recycling.  According to Cleveland.com:  “the city plans to sort through curbside trash to make sure residents are recycling — and fine them $100 if they don’t.   The move is part of a high-tech collection system the city will roll out next year with new trash and recycling carts embedded with radio frequency identification chips and bar codes.”
