That will teach her not to read a newspaper. Stop killing trees and let them die off already.
Sounds like something from the UK these days.
Freedom is gone.
The sanitation person should be fired. Damn right...fired.
She should refuse to pay the fine and demand a jail sentence. Then make sure every TV station in town knows about it.
This is what Rinorat Bloomberg has done to the city.
Usually it is the landlord that is hit with these fines practically daily because their tenants refuse to abide by the glorious NYC laws. Yes, landlords have to sift through their tenant's garbage to make sure there are no recyclables mixed in with regular garbage. Stupid tenants.
Recycling is a catechism of the new secular religion of the Earth. I don’t do it in my personal life, but understand it in a business setting.
Here in MPLS people Freaked the F out when they learned that the local garbage hauler recycled stuff based on market conditions. When they made money, they recycled. If they were going to lose money, they sent it to the landfill. They went F’ing bonkers.
It’s a new religion. If you want to recycle feel free. Me, not so much.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over.
“I'd say I'm throwing garbage in the GARBAGE can!” in Adam Sandler’s voice.
No more Green Police, no more UN.
Can't the government focus on actual problems?
Is there no crime in NYC?
Turn the phony sanitation cops into real cops or meter readers instead of fining little old ladies.
Sheesh!
She should countersue for entrapment ... a convenient receptacle enticing a good citizen to dispose of trash with an agent lurking ready to pounce.
I hope she can get a jury trial.
Hindsight is 20-20... but in hindsight, she should have claimed to be an illegal alien. I doubt the Dept of Sanitation would have had arrest powers to get to the bottom of the identity mater.
Most newspapers are Leftist propaganda anyway.
She should cancel her subscription.
I imagine such an act would carry the Death Penalty in California.
That’s funny, I don’t seem to have this issue out here in rural farm country. Go fig!
New York - what can you expect?
My goodness. Is this satire? or are New Yawkers mental?
If it was the Times instead of the Post, She should also have been fined for toxic waste.
She DID dispose of household trash in a city litter basket. She left the house after reading the newspaper and instead of putting it with her trash or the apartment building's recycle bin, she took it outside and dumped it in a city receptacle. I don't know what kind of education the city is doing about the problem but if every apartment building's worth of residents does this the trash collection must be pretty pricey. It is proper for the city to take SOME action here but perhaps a first-offense $100 ticket is a little over the top. Still, pour l'encouragement des autres.
OTOH, if Bloomie and the left really wants a socialist paradise in NYC, they could sentence this granny and thousands like her to sweep the streets wearing a babushka in a parody of any Russian city.

Animals can be driven crazy by placing too many in too small a pen.
Homo sapiens is the only animal that voluntarily does this to himself.

I just found a bunch of defective chinese products dumped in the woods.
It had all been spray painted red to indicate it was defective.
It obviously came from a retailer.
What I dont understand is why the clown hauled it out and dumped it on another mans property.
I hate callous bastards, but what this woman did is hardly a crime in any way.
Is this believable?????
