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 ; )
