There&#8217;s a front-page article in the paper this morning that says city authorities are going to start confiscating recycling carts from homes who persist in putting non-recyclable items in them. Apparently, people are tossing in household garbage and even dead animals. So now the city says it&#8217;s going to give people three warnings and then confiscate the carts. That&#8217;s fine as far as it goes, but the article goes on to say that one of the worst items that people put in their recycling carts is grocery-store plastic bags, which apparently foul up the machinery on the recycling line. The irony is that many of these bags are labeled &#8220;Please Recycle&#8221;. So how can the city justify penalizing people for recycling something that&#8217;s labeled &#8220;Please Recycle&#8221;? We should be safe, because 99% of our recycling, by count and mass, is cardboard and paper, with the remainder being mostly plastic, glass, or metal containers.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Barbara is heading out to run errands this morning.
