So, we got our first ECB ticket, for putting out trash that had 5 or more recyclables/bottles contained inside. I know this can’t be right because (1) the ticket is timed at 7:58 a.m. and our sanitation guys are done on the street by 7:30 and (2) we put out black garbage bags that are tied tightly and religiously separate recyclables from trash. We live on a busy street so it’s definitely possible that pedestrians are just putting their empty soda cans or bottles right on top of the trash bags. Is this worth fighting? it’s not a lot of money, but since I didn’t do anything wrong, I’d like to fight it if I have more than a snowball’s chance in hell in winning. Thanks
