Bristol officials said the city is getting serious about recycling and that it plans to check what residents are putting in trash cans before dumping it into the truck.
Workers from the city’s Department of Public Works will soon begin randomly sifting through residents’ garbage and writing citations to those who put recyclables in the trash.
I’m all for encouraging folks to recycle more…but the idea of town employees checking up on you by sifting through your trash just seems creepy.
