When we last left our hero, embattled residents were manning front lines in back alleys trying to protect recyclables from the clutches of roaming rummagers. The war against Dumpster divers may be futile, however, as Hollister Code Enforcer Mike Chambless explained if someone decides to "steal" recycling, it's up to the waste disposal company, Hollister Disposal, to press charges. It's something they have decided is not worth their effort.
This week's caller asked whether the same "too-bad-for-you" policy goes for items pilfered from charity drop sites like Goodwill.
"In the case of charities, it would be up to the organization to file charges," Chambless said. "Also, it's technically illegal to drop items off at charity sites without an employee there to receive them."
