I Am Being Legally Forbidden to Recycle

[truthspeaker]

More accurately, as of December 2, if I attempt to use the city of Somerville recycling program at my residence, I will be fined. The city of Somerville is switching to a single-stream recycling program, using new mandatory bins. Buildings of 7 or more are being charged, and my building is refusing to pay. Therefore, the city will fine anyone

Wow. Is there a location you can take your recycling to?

Have you called 311 and explained the situation? If so, what did they say?

[truthspeaker]

Yes. They say that the building owner controls the property, so it's their call. I cannot participate as an individual.

I did knock on everyone's door yesterday and talked to other people in the building. I encouraged them to call the manager if they were also concerned.

Basically, I have no power alone, but hopefully other people will also call.
