If they see compostable items make up 10 percent or more of the trash, they’ll enter the violation into a computer system their trucks already carry, and will leave a ticket on the garbage bin that says to expect a $1 fine on the next garbage bill.

They have GOT to be kidding. Come on! This is one of those John Semmens semi news/semi satire things, right?

It is true, it is ridiculous and it discriminates against the poor. Some folks do not want to pay extra for a compost bin, have a minuscule yard that they want to keep clean for their children, and cannot afford to put in a top of the line powerful septic systems so they can grind it down the disposal.
