The city says, 'We're trying to get people to really rethink waste,' and so toward that end, it plans to work with people to reduce and recycle better, rather than fining them for doing it wrong. trash
Those who might be worried that they’re paying for composting but not getting it yet need not fear: The city is giving those without compost a $3-per-month credit for the lack of composting until their carts come. As the program bills quarterly, that will look like a $9 credit on each statement.
“If you are a small home and you're not regularly filling up your trash cart as it is, then you'd make a really good candidate for a smaller size,” Lacayo says. Being able to recycle and compost will mean the cart is even less full. DOTI will work with people who contaminate their recycling or compost, sending an inspector to help them with proper waste disposal before any citation. It will do the same for people who overfill their trash bins.
Those who are tempted to save a few bucks by paying for the smallest possible trash bin and finding dumpsters in their area to put overflow trash in should know that doing so is illegal.
