More Ridiculous Proposals From City Council On Recycling

Last week a couple of Chicago aldermen proposed fining suburbanites caught trying to recycle in the city.

Aldermen Lona Lane and Virginia Rugai, of the 18th and 19th wards, say they're tired of hearing from constituents who drive to the city's recycling drop-off sites and find the bins spilling over. "A lot of times it's overflowing and it's because we don't get a pick-up, but I just figured if [suburban residents] don't use it, it would be better for us," Lane told Fran Spielman of the Sun-Times.
