DOTI has audited 1,458 trash carts in the city and tagged 386 as contaminated.
The department plans to audit Solid Waste Collection District 2 as compost rolls out there. The expanded waste services ordinance allows fines between $500 and $999 for contamination should DOTI ever reach that point.The program’s aim of getting more waste out of landfills seems to be reaching its target, with a 12 percent increase in recycling in Denver so far this year. That accounts for 2,443 more tons of recyclable material making it into recycling instead of heading to the landfill.
The expanded waste services ordinance allows people to pick what size trash can they want, paying for that size. Then everyone gets recycling and compost as part of the deal. The options are 35 gallons, which fits two to three tall kitchen bags, for $9 a month; 65 gallons, which fits four to five bags, for $13 a month; and 95 gallons, which fits seven to eight bags, for $21 a month.
