The Green Police....




New recycling bins with tracking chips coming to Alexandria


Alexandria residents soon will have to pay for larger home recycling
bins featuring built-in monitoring devices.

The City Council added a mandatory $9 charge to its residents' annual
waste collection fee.

That cash -- roughly $180,000 collected from 19,000 residents-- will
pay for new larger recycling carts equipped with computer microchips,
which will allow the city to keep tabs on its bins and track resident
participation in the city's recycling program.

education and outreach to those who are not participating," said Stacy
Herring, Alexandria's recycling coordinator.

YOUR ATTITUDE HAS BEEN NOTICED, OH YES !

Thank God I don't live in Alexandria.

But if this catches on, all over Northern Virginia will have these bins.

Damn.
