Recycle or Else? Big Brother to Pick Through Trash
Cleveland: Recycle or Else? Big Brother to Pick Through Trash - ABC News
As part of a $2.5 million waste-collection system, the city plans to give residents high-tech trash carts embedded with RFID (radio frequency identification) tags that monitor how much they recycle.
If Clevelanders don't recycle enough of their garbage, the city now has the power to issue $100 fines.
We're going to run reports on who this particular truck picked up from today and if it indicates on a consistent basis that your household hasn't been recycling, then we have officers that I will send out to check and see what's going on."
