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.
