I work at a town recycling yard. They did handle it wrong but at the same time, people complain about taxes and every little bit of income the town can get helps the tax rate.

my town has 4 scrap yards in a 15 mile radius and we still get people bringing in steel, copper, and aluminum because they know that it helps the tax rate.

Here is mine. Sec. 15-10.3. Scavenging prohibited.
No person shall scavenge or otherwise disturb solid waste placed out for collection by a collection agency. Once
placed out for collection solid waste becomes the property of the collection agency.

So that means the police need a warent to go through someones trash?

How could the public works write you a ticket? They are not athurities. I think the p.w. guys drive around looking for scrap here too. Every monday they drive past atleast 10 or more times a day, tues,wed, ect. dont see them once.

If we didnt get any metal at my place that would mean roughly $40000 more the tax payers would have to pay. That is for a town with a pop of 6500. Sure that is not a lot but every little but counts right.

My city basically shut me down because nothing can be visible from the alley, even in the trailor on MY pirvate property. I can't pay bills as it is let alone come up with a grand for a fence. Tyranny!!! It's time we take our country back!

Yes in theory they would wouldnt they? Lmfao now theres something to ponder...

Last month my Township passed an ordinance...$200 fine for anyone picking up Metal. I know somebody that got stopped and the cop told him you're not allowed to pick up anything with a recyclable monetary value. So the cop told them that he could pick up wood furniture because there is no recycle value on it. So now they pick up wood furniture and restore it. The only reason they really got stopped was because his boss had a bad inspection sticker.

I know out here on Long Island in some of the incorporated villages there's probably some good stuff that people get rid of (alot of well off yuppies in many of those villages), but since many of them have their own set of funky rules/laws and their own police force, I stay away simply because I don't want to find out the hard way that there's some village ordinance against garbage picking and then I get fined and possibly have my truck impounded...

Sounds like you need to learn to eat turnips and drink brewsky, comrad. Why do we allow ourselves to be subjected to this tyranny? Its time we start getting involved with town councel meetings and get involved. The Republic is on life support.
