More regulations!
Depends on whether they are going to put out nonsense regulations or require identification (recycling is not voting, so it's okay to demand ID) and some evidence of ownership to cut down on metal theft in the state.
And not paying the appropriate fees..now we get to the heart of it.
Furthermore many households and the homeless have been saving aluminum cans without a scrap metal recycling permit.
This cheating must be taxed somehow.
More gov’t waste, just what they need
Lots of theft from construction sites for copper, from farms for aluminum irrigation pipe. The thieves sell it to the recyclers.
Reason they are successful is because they do not have permits.
Just getting ready for the new high speed train.
LaRaza will have this shut down post haste, the vast majority of people taking scrap metal into recycling yards are ILLEGAL ALIENS and NONE of them have ID.
I smell missed money, i.e. opportunity cost; is the driver here.
California does not need another blue ribbon commission, where members meet a few times a year and collect 200K per.
Plus benefits.
Call it public safety related and the members retire at age 50.
Somethin' like 9 bucks a hundred, now.
The state is probably losing money on the “deposit” scam where you pay a tax on cans and can ostensibly get it back, but not at the store. People are probably finding it lucrative to actually go through the hoops to get the refund and a state cash source is drying up...
Total control.
Some people don’t get it.
>>>North Carolina General Assembly’s revision to the emergency management legislation goes into effect on Oct. 1. On that date, homeowners could be charged with a class 2 misdemeanor and the accompanying fine of up to $1,000 if they decide to stay in place during an evacuation.<<<
As things are, productive people are treated as vermin. That's got to change.
