Trash Police On The Move

Trash Police Fining Citizens...In America?
No matter how hard I try to ignore the lunacy within the green theme movement, I can’t seem to avoid facing it. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s not that I am against God’s command to be a good steward of His creation. I'm all for that wisdom.
It would be idiocy not to be for that. I am not, however, at all for any government’s intrusion into the lives of its citizens over this issue.
They have responsibilities that they need to take seriously and they need to give citizens a little credit rather than treating them like children.
Anyway, if you need a good reason to move far away from Cleveland, take a look at this article on how the government is getting in your business via the trash business. Reading that short article will give you enough information to arm you for battle.
Talk this up with your neighbors and civic leaders. Let your elected officials know that you want more information about their plans with this idea, and let them know that your voting will reflect your opinion about the matter.
Eco Police in Cleveland
Read up on trash police and think about what you read:
• What if my neighbors drink a lot of soda or beer, meaning that their trash is full of bottles and cans, but I never drink anything from a can, nor beer from a bottle--will I be fined for not producing enough recyclable cans or bottles?
• What if I live in a neighborhood full of new parents and I have no babies--could I be fined for not recycling diapers correctly, or will they be fined for using too many during a week of diarrhea?
• What if I have a year of visitors in and out of my home and my trash bins periodically reflect increased waste material--will I be fined for having company?
• What if I use cash for all my purchases, preventing the government and/or companies from tracking what and when I buy what I want--could I be fined for not having in my trash what my neighbors have in theirs?
• What if I decide to change my eating or living habits--will I be fined for not recycling as I used to?
• What if I go on an extended vacation--could I be fined for not recycling as usual?
• What if I incinerate everything except garbage--would I be fined for not recycling?
• What if I use a trash compactor--will I be fined because the trash police can't tell what's what?
• What if I continue helping to feed the needy on a regular basis--will I be fined for not recycling because the purchases I made were not used in my home but were given away?
• What if a whole lot of other absurd things?
While the government and the companies involved in this “business” would say that questioning their motives and actions this way is ridiculous, check out web reports on trash police in the following cities before you make up your own mind about it:
Charleston
San Diego
New Hampshire
San Francisco
Philadelphia
This last is an essay on privacy issues, including trash privacy, that we all might find helpful at some point.
Stay alert to what’s happening with the trash police issue in your local government and examine the movement’s motives and potential. Make a decision to get involved and contact your legislators. If you want to know more about how to do that, give this a read to help you get started.

We need to be more careful when voting in November!
Thanks for stopping by and for commenting--it helps keep the dialogue open!
I had NO idea this was going on. Thank you for pointing it out. People should be allowed to police themselves.
I think, I am really going to like you!
Americans, and probably most other people groups, really are able to police themselves and their own neighborhoods!
Thanks much for stopping by as well as for commenting!

I'd known about the trash ticketing issues in Philly, but I had no idea about the extent to which privacy is and could be violated, especially regarding the RFID uses. Thanks for the alert. I'm a big fan of recycling for so many reasons, but now I'll have my guard up about this turn of events.
