Local Government Directs ‘Garbage Spies’ to Verify Authenticity of Recyclables

Good Grief. To what extent will government overreach its authority? The new imprimaturs of a central Florida utility have become scary indeed! What right does a government entity have to prowl through the garbage of individual, innocent homeowners without a warrant? What mystery public union sector employees will "examine the contents of customers' recycling bins?"

Taking the ‘Save Our Planet’ mantra to an entirely new level, an over-eager garbage pickup initiative soon plans to do the following to an estimated 22,400 waste customers who are trapped in a one size fits all city negotiated contract with a single waste collection agency. Official information included in the left-leaning, local newspaper provides the new job description for garbage collectors. Included is: 1) Examination of customers' recycling bins. 2) If mystery employees decide the individual customer wantonly mixed recyclables with non-recyclables, said customer's bin will be left uncollected, even though he paid for such collection. 3) Earlier, customers received informational letters. This month and in July, the "city will apply stickers" with more informational fear tactics. 4) Next step involves the garbage contractor "examining the amount of contaminated waste." 5) Here's the real stopper: "When residents contaminate their recyclable waste, employees will place a letter explaining what items were not recyclable in a YELLOW BAG and hang it on the trash bin handle! 6) Even scarier is the fact that: "Workers will add the [customers] address to "a LIST!" 8) If your name gets on THE LIST more than once, look out. Your name and address will be sent to city officials!

I was all aboard for the Planet Salvation meme of leftist Globalists until I learned of the huge carbon tax imposed on individual, private businesses by millionaires looking to use climate change for their own financial gain. How can wealthy Hollywood...
