One City's Trash
By Jodi LaMarco
The City Council of Manhattan has passed a bill that would raise the penalty for stealing recyclable trash. Under the new law, first-time offenders would now pay $2,000 instead of $100 and repeat offenders would pay $5,000.
The bill was drafted after the Department of Sanitation reported a two percent drop in the amount of recyclable paper collected from curb-side pick-ups. Each ton of paper collected yields $10 to $30 for the city under its recycling contract.
