Did you know that recycling theft has become an issue in Marin County? It is hard to believe someone might want to steal my garbage, but apparently it is true. What do they want to do with all of my old wine bottles?
Apparently, thieves are looking for bottles and cans to sell back and earn money.
The Marin Sanitary Service reminds residents not to confront the thieves, but to call 311 to report the non-emergency crime and recommends getting vehicle information and time of crime to report to the police.
How do you prevent recycling theft? The Marin Sanitary Service suggests putting your recycling out before 6am instead of the night before. Rise and shine!
