    I don't understand that either.. why they fined Him for that.. Ummm.. I can think of things are alot more toxic that are in the landfill then plastic.. and in Sioux Falls, They look at each load that comes in... do they not do that there.?

    Keeps the landfill in its proper prospective.

    sorry to hear that happen.. I can't even get the recycle people to pick it up.. I did a test... and they refused.. but took a small sample to the landfill and they took it.. picky.? maybe.. but I recycle all My plastic... its the only way to go..

    and btw.. Bale it if you can.. keep your white seperate and You can make more money... on your plastic instead a measliy under 10 cents.



    Good luck.. glad to see you back and don't beat yourself.. it happens to all of us.

    The issue with the plastic was majority of the 2442 pounds of unsorted plastic they had to remove from the recycling center wasn't number one or two plastics. The containers I filled up at the recycling center was designated for those two types and since I filled those two containers up I ended up filling up another dumpster designated for colored glass. I figured since it was empty, it would be ok. I believe if I was a household versus a business I wouldn't have been fined. The city people made a huge stink of it and called the regulators on me. Supposedly many tax dollars were spent trying to rectify the problem I created. I now have a roll off box placed in my yard. Once full I pay $125 to deliver the plastic to a paying recycler. The money received is usually just enough to cover the transportation fee.

    wow! I do understand what you mean about the "stink". Put someone in a gov't position and they can do it to anybody ; )
