The Law Reads that when You put Your trash out, it becomes City Property. That would make a Warrant Unnecessary. Looks like Bloomberg is picking up where Rudy left off, with a touch of the Upper East $ide.
In October, 2007, Mayor Bloomberg signed Local Law No. 50 of 2007. Among its provisions, this new law imposes stiff sanctions against persons operating a motor vehicle who unlawfully remove or transport recyclables placed out at residential or commercial curbsides, and from premises occupied by city agencies and institutions that receive Department collection service. Sanctions include increasing the civil fines from $100 to $2,000 for a first time offender, and $5,000 for second and repeat offenders within a twelve-month period. The law also authorizes the Department to impound vehicles used by persons caught removing recyclables unlawfully. http://www.nyc.gov/html/dsny/html/pr2008/10408.shtml
