Message: [QUOTE="cabbie191, post: 4125007, member: 417"] Wisconsin has had a very strong mandatory recycling program since 1989 - I administered one of the larger county programs for 17 years, and during my tenure, fined (actual fine plus loss of contract revenue) one of the national waste management companies a bit over $9K for trashing recyclables we hired them to collect. It was at the time, and might still be, the largest penalty assessed for this type of violation. So naturally, this made the news and was carried by one of the national solid waste trade journals. Except that according to their article, I was the culprit! The story came out while I was at a national recycling conference. Had a lot of fun with my colleagues over this. And yes, this was before the Internet took a toll on print journalism! [/QUOTE]
