My one star review is VERY generous ... you are absolutely ignorant of Elk Grove City Ordinances!

I called into Elk Grove Police department dispatch today (9/30/18) because someone was going through all the recycle bins in the neighborhood. I was told by a female dispatch officer that it is (not illegal) for anyone to go through my recycle bins. She advised me that someone would be sent out (only) because they were making a mess onto the streets. Let me educate you Ms Dispatch Officer..... IT IS ILLEGAL for anyone to scavenge through my Recycle bins without my permission.....

Here is the ELK GROVE CITY ORDINANCE.

ORDINANCE No. 10-2010
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ELK GROVE CA

30.10.070 Scavenging Prohibited.

A. No person shall open, look into, search through or remove solid waste from any other person's solid waste receptacle without written permission of the individual or entity that pays for solid waste handling services with that receptacle or owns that receptacle

B. No person or entity, other than the collector authorized by the City Manager or by the contract to collect solid waste at that location, shall remove or collect recyclable or salvageable materials placed by any person in a bag or container labeled for the use in connection with the recycling program.

Please stop telling the community this is legal when it is clearly (illegal).

Do the community of Elk Grove a favor and educate yourself before you begin spreading your false assumptions on VERY BASIC Elk Grove city ordinances.
