It’s not about the planet or the climate; it’s all about money. Any penalties assessed are just more in the way of higher taxes. Keep in mind that Mayor todd gloria is one of the worst mayors ever and therefore has only one policy lens for viewing: Taxes.
‘Friendly’
It always starts that way, doesn’t it.
I guess San Diego doesn’t have a homeless problem. Might as well spend the tax payers money on something “useful”
Pathetic
The right violators will white.
“Aren’t there better ways to trace violations than mass inspections of cans?“
That is the wrong question. What is wrong with these people that they elect a government so oppressive that they would enact laws governing which container you sort your garbage into.

The turning of San Diego from a solidly conservative city (the county was carried by Goldwater in 1964) to just another liberal hellhole, albeit with better weather than Baltimore or Chicago, is a stark warning to Americans everywhere. Liberalism is not only a mental illness; it is a deadly poison to prosperity, human freedom, and decency.
Or create robots with sensors to dig thru the trash to recover recyclable materials, which would dramatically reduce the human time and effort to recycle trash. If $$$$ still matters, that is ...
Once your trash hits the curb, it no longer belongs to you. Ask any cop. Anybody could have put trash in your trash can.
They need something to do since they’ve solved the crime problem.
Fill the cans with snakes.
They used to call San Diego “America’s Finest City”. We left there in 2002 after living there for 12 years. It was going to hell then.
I thought the recycling Wars ended?
I’ve been to the depot and have witnessed both garbage and recyclables dumped into the same compacting pit. More than once.

The People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs?
...of course if you live in an apartment, life gets ‘sportier’ for this brand of Karens.
How many will be on their death beds wishing they spent more of their time on this rock sorting their garbage so a bureaucrat can feel good about themselves?
I recently watched a video about recycling rules in Japan (forgot which city), where violations could cost fines and also “losing face”. They had at least 7 categories and everything had to be meticulously washed (using LOTS of soap/water — wasteful?), flattened (when possible) and placed properly in the bins.
We had a similar situation when we lived in Germany. One large bin outside for everyday trash but under the stairs we had 4 bins for paper & cardboard, clear glass, colored glass and cans. Once they were full it was our responsibility to take those bins to the trash facility and sort them into the corresponding dumpsters. If you were “caught” putting something in the big bin that shouldn’t be there... the trash collectors would leave it full and put a notice on top to “fix” your error... not pleasant!
