Meno……………….
I never mentioned fines.
The garbagemen simply tag the can as a violation:
Overweight
Mixed with recyclables
Forbidden items and leave the full can on the curb.
The homeowner then has to either correct the situation or transport the can to the transfer station and separate the items for disposal, recycling, etc. and buy disposal tickets for construction debris.
I’m currently taking down a sheet rock wall in my home to move a staircase entry. All the sheet rock is getting bagged and on Tuesday, I’ll take it to the transfer station, buy a $10 construction debris disposal ticket and unload the bags.
