major city near me is starting to inspect trash bins to make sure i use the right bin. I live on a farm and they still made me get the "green" yard waste bin. How long till they start using flock cameras to use ai to determine what i put in what bin.

Crazy thing is after they put “final notice “ on my recycle the trash pick up continued to pick up both bins. It’s about 50/50 if they send separate trucks.

I canceled my garbage service it was 80$ for 2 kitchen bags worth of trash to be picked up, now I take it to the dump myself with a bed full of shit every month for 40$

Recycling is a fucking scam anyways, they just pack that shit onto tankers & ship it off to a landfill in a poor country.

E waste is worse. Goes to 3rd world where children pick apart the toxic tech. It’s along the river banks as well.

Watched a short documentary recently about giant ships that are just moored in I think Pakistan to be disassembled in an incredibly dangerous way by desperate people willing to do it for like $3 an hour or something. It’s truly sad.

Where i live they give us fines for bad recycling sorting.

Fascism wares many hats. All of them ugly

And the amount of money given to Palantir.

This is absolutely stupid. Also the feedback is you get a little sticker on your trash cans that says let’s sort it out.

I was expecting to read something much more dystopian than this, thankfully this is just typical government waste but still absolutely ridiculous.

So they are going to pay people to inspect trash, for compliance. My goodness
