A short video of the Texas Recycling Police in Action

Here's one city agency that isn't feeling the effects of budget cutbacks.
The Recycling Police!
That's why Watchdog Nation finds it interesting that in our home city, Fort Worth, Texas, it takes three -- count 'em 3 -- city employees to check your recycling bin to make sure it doesn't have trash in it.
We watched as three members of the Recycling Police went through our neighborhood today.
One was the driver, and the other two hit both sides of the street.
When I asked why, they said someone in the neighborhood had contaminated the stream, meaning somebody along the route was ruining the recycling collected by putting in ILLEGAL GARBAGE. OMG.
Here in this video is what it looks like if the Recycling Police come to your house and check your bin and, lucky for you, you pass this most intrusive inspection.

I wonder how much the city pays to make sure our recyclables have been washed? The city only allows a portion of the recyclable material in these cans. I guess it makes folks feel good to think they are actually recycling.
