This sort of petty crap has become the signature of the Bloomberg regime. And yet, they keep electing him. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

LA city just passed a similar ordinance.

They’re sending garbage police, oops sorry, they’re called “Garbage Ambassadors”, out to monitor what residents are throwing in their bins.

They’ll get “corrective action” letters leading up to fines for non-compliance.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Unfortunately, not satire. My mom used to live in the Bronx (she's now on the Island w/ us) and no lie.....she had 4 separate bags for garbage!!!

And yes, they actually PAY "INSPECTORS" to walk the city streets, w/ fine book in hand and INSPECT EVERYONE'S GARBAGE CANS!!!!

The niece upstairs was fined for throwing a plastic hanger in the "plastic garbage". Apparently, a plastic hanger is "regular garbage", not "plastic garbage".

Absolute insanity! Thank goodness it hasn't come to Long Island.....yet.
