Bay Area Recology customers could face new penalties for overfilling trash bins
Recology customers in San Mateo County may receive warnings and fines if trash bins are overfilled. New cameras have been installed on garbage trucks in 11 cities. The cameras capture images that Recology reviews to determine whether bins are too full. If a bin is overfilled, customers receive an email or phone call warning them. After two warnings, customers can be fined up to $15. The system aims to prevent trash from spilling onto streets and sidewalks.
