SIAP...made me laugh.

Seattle residents who throw too many pizza crusts, coffee grounds and uneaten leftovers in their regular garbage will now face a fine, in one of the toughest mandatory composting efforts in the country, officials said on Tuesday

The Seattle City Council voted on Monday to impose a $1 fine on residents each time they fill more than 10 percent of their home garbage with compostable waste, such as food scraps and paper products. Repeat offenders could see the fine increase to $50.

how the frick are they going to police this? Are they going to start going through peoples trash, reading their mail, seeing what they bought from Amazon. and it would have to be done at each home, too much work to check it at the dump and back track it.

Seems like a colossal waste of time, energy, and man power. In other words, government gonna government.

Just another reminder that progressivism leads to a police state. Liberals are retarded.

I wonder what the fines are for public schools, ie the lunchroom crap Moochele has forced onto the students?

You'll get to put a certain number of bags in the trash each week. If you go over, the garbage collectors will take a look and if the bulk is compost items, they'll add a dollar to your trash bill. Most people won't even notice.

The idea is good but the state has no place policing it

The same way we've turned cops into hall monitors on the highway, we'll soon have a new division of the police department for trash can stake out missions to crack down on compostable waste violators.

It's "the" state, not "a" state. Government in general can be referred to as "the state".

"In a city where compost is carelessly tossed out in the trash bags, there lives a man who has the balls to confront the evil doers. A cop named Clarence. After his partner was brutally suffocated by a gang of consumers, Clarence made it his mission to....take. out. the. trash. Coming soon to a theater near you; Compstable on Patrol. Starring Samuel L. Jackson as Clarence."

$1 fines will clearly cover the cost of policing people's garbage.

I bet they'll just collect it from everyone and just refund to those who notice and complain. That will probably give them an extra million a week, easily.
