A proposed recycling ordinance that would force San Francisco businesses to recycle properly could end up slapping heavy fines on businesses that don’t comply.
The proposed ordinance would force waste and recycling audits on companies that generate large amounts of trash. Businesses found sorting improperly could be forced to hire a permanent trash sorter or face fines of up to $1,000 per day.
The board of supervisors is expected to vote on the proposed ordinance in November. If passed, it would take effect in July 2019.
