They did something like that on college campuses years ago. The self-appointed student sustainability czars would go through the trash to fish out things that weren’t disposed of in the right way. That’s probably still going on.

“Germany”

The question is—how does this really work in Muslim slums?

My guess is that we are looking at anarcho tyranny in this case and it is only the “good Germans” who have to obey the rules or face the fines:

Well, this won’t work in apartment buildings where everyone shares a trash dumpster. For single family neighborhoods, just place your questionable trash in your neighbors bin.

Once your trash hits the curb, it no longer belongs to you. Ask any cop. Anybody could have put trash in your trash can.

Exactly. If I have excess trash, I always put it in a neighbor's bin if there's room. And my neighbors do the same.

San Diego is a big corner of CA. Here in my mid-sized semi-rural corner of CA, all sorting isn’t automated at the dump and we’re not required to sort. I can’t help but think they have access to the same technology. Sounds like enforced virtue signaling to me

“Look for Democrat signs or evidence they are liberal”

Outstanding suggestion—even better than mine.

When I grew up in the 50’s, in the far future (the 2000’s) we were going to have flying cars, a base on the moon and robots doing menial labor.


They’ll be Spandex Jackets, one for everyone.

They were doing this in South Jersey about 15 years ago. Some areas trash has to be in clear bags so they can see whats in there.

Our Trash pick up, Named Waste Management (which I think is really Western Mafia), is implementing cameras and AI to watch as the trash bins are being emptied into the truck to identify ‘offenders’.

There is an associated fines (big) for wrong trash/recylable in the wrong bin.

They shouldn’t separate recyclables, everything goes in the trash can

He played the “don’t speak English I’m from Guatemala and here illegally game.”

I need to take a course in that.

Does physical appearance factor in?

Probably most non-whites could pass with the right accent.

4 bins for paper & cardboard, clear glass, colored glass and cans.
= = =

That might drive me to one color of glass, no cans.

Green bottles of wine - no beer or cans.
