The first few weeks or months after a recycling program is started should be looked at as a learning period. Towns and cities should prepare booklets showing how trash should be sorted. City workers should inspect bags. They can point out mistakes to homeowners and issue warnings. After one or two warnings, people who are not recycling should be fined.
