live where you live, this is

"abc 7 news." america is suddenly facing a recycling crisis, and since "abc 7 news" is committed to building a better bay area we are finding out why. one main reason is because china set strict standards for what materials it will buy. >> recyclers say it threatens california's goal for zero waste in our landfills and some garbage companies are putting the blame on consumers. >> "7 on your side's" michael finney joins us with now one company is penalizing bay area residents. >> wait until you hear this. not long ago we were all encouraged to recycle as much as possible. now we are told we are putting a lot of the wrong stuff in recycling carts and turning everything in the cart into trash. an east bay company is holding customers accountable. some say they're living with the recycle police. >> this is basically what we

recycle. >> richmond resident christian smith is careful about what he throws in the blue bin. >> it has a recycle symbol on there. i'm going to say yes. i think that's all good stuff. >> and so he was shocked to find this citation slapped on his cart. >> i was given a contamination notice. >> it was stern but cryptic, saying the garbage company found contamination in the bin and he would have to pay a fee. >> we were at a loss. i mean we didn't know what we had done wrong. >> he isn't the only one. >> they sent me a bill for something that i don't even know what i did. >> michelle and art of richmond didn't get a notice on their cart, just a bill in the mail, $26.60 for contamination in their recycle bin. >> there was no explanation about what it was or what it could have been, so -- >> "7 on your side" learned the republic services garbage company was sending auditors to inspect customer's recycle bins in west contra costa county and it charged customers a fee for

putting something wrong in their bin. >> people were the garbage nazis are out. >> reactions blew up on the next door neighborhood website, ticketed by the recycling police. i will just quit using the blue bin at all. >> reading next door, you found out the mass confusion it brought on. >> cheryl bombberry called "7 on your side" to find out what is going on. >> i thought if there's anything going on that shouldn't be, you will find out. >> public services would not talk on camera but put blame on china and its new national sword policy. starting this year china is no longer buying our recycled materials unless they meet tough standards, fewer types of plastics and non-recyclables and less soiled items like greasy pizza boxes. republic said people are putting garbage in the bins and ruining the loads. showing these examples. >> we don't do that. >> customers we talk to said

they recycle the right way as they have for decades. >> blue, it makes me mad because i'm trying to do the right thing and then all of a sudden get a fine. >> there was no way to access a digital picture of what we did. >> republic told us customers can call and get an exact description of what they did wrong and a one-time fee waiver. >> i'm calling about a couple of -- i guess they're fines on my bill. >> we were there when art and michelle tried to find out. >> non-recyclable items. her words was that we had non-recyclables in our recycle bin. >> okay. what was it? and they couldn't explain that. >> items found. i don't know what that is and it troubles me it is so arbitrary because is it going to happen next week? >> we asked republic what gives the company authority to issue fines. at first the company said it is authorized by contracts with local governments. >> we dug into those contracts and nowhere does it say that republic is allowed to charge a fee. >> republic's authority to

charge that fee is not explicitly included in their franchise agreement or any ordinance. >> reporter: richmond mayor said the company never notified local governments before issues citations. his city has now issued a cease and desist letter, requesting republic stop citing customers and refund the money it collected so far. the county followed with a similar demand. republic said it rescinded the program but the next contract will include the right to levy those fees. the mayor said he is inclined to allow it but promised public hearings first. >> republic says people are essentially putting garbage in their recycling bins and we have to find a way to fix it. >> the customers we talked to say there are too many variables. one man said he was hit with a fine while he was on vacation and his bins weren't even out. others say anyone can dump trash in someone else's bin and most of all it is unclear what is acceptable in the bins anymore.

>> it has aluminum or something on the cap. >> it should be recyclable, right? >> and it is cardboard. i don't know, am i supposed to take it apart? >> i don't wash out my bottles and i haven't gotten fined. >> even the mayor didn't realize he is supposed to wash out food containers. republic says it gives customers a recycling guide, telling us our ultimate goal is to help customers understand what can and cannot be accepted in the recycling carts. the recycling industry has reached a crisis point in this country. contamination has become rampant, and the future of our local recycling programs is in jeopardy. now, abc 7 has been investigating the recycling crisis and looking for possibe solutions. tomorrow i'll show you how mayor an county trash collector is cracking down on customers for recycling the wrong way, but with a much different approach. >> really interesting. it affects all of us. >> it does. >> some people will just quit recycling. >> that would be a concern. >> thank you very much, michael.

pick in next year's draft. right now they're focussed on playing the role of post-season spoiler. >> we don't look ahead right now. we're looking at pittsburgh steelers. that's all we're doing. i'm proud of our team. we fought back yesterday, made it 33-30 in the fourth quarter. we gave kansas city too many mulligans. we've looking ahead to do nothing except the pittsburgh steelers, i can assure you of that, at least on our side of the building. >> as dan said, two and ten, yes. as the 49ers are as well. they have the top draft pick over the raiders because they have a weaker strength of schedule. they had a weak showing in seattle on sunday. today kyle shanahan said the 43-16 loss is not oo surprise given san francisco's three turnovers, but the head coach wasn't breaking down fumbles and interceptions when he reviewed the game film. >> i watch people's effort and things like that probably as hard as i would say anyone else in the world when it comes to our own team. i watch every individual and i look for that stuff harder than anybody. i will come in every monday, and if there's someone who is

shutting it down and not working, i have a responsibility to the other ten guys on the field and the other 52 guys on the roster to not put them out there. kareem hunt is now free to sign with any team as no team claimed the running back off waivers. the chief's released hunt on friday after hours after video surfaced of him shoving and kicking a woman during an altercation in february. even if a team signs him, he can't play until he is removed from the commissioner's exempt list. the nfl placed him on the exempt list while they investigate the incident add others. aaron rodgers says he was home celebrating his birthday when he found out his head coach of 12 1/2 seasons was fired hours after the packers' loss to arizona. >> as much as conjecture was made about our relationship, you know, it was always built on mutual respect and communication. that's why it is, you know, a different day for myself and the guys in the locker room. >> packers ceo mark murphy made

the decision to fire mcar think and said rodger was not consulted. but there are four games remaining in the season and the coaching carousel is starting in the nfl. jon gruden and kyle shanahan you know will be around despite the two wins. >> they have a huge expense in gruden. >> absolutely. 100 million. >> still, two in ten, oakland. that's really -- >> thank you, mindi. >> sure. >> bad. join us tonight on kofy tv 20, cable channel 713. a chinese doctor who says he successfully edited the dn, of two babies has gone missing. where he was last seen at 9:00. on "abc 7 news" at 11:00, san jose residents are trying to preserve parts of the city like this historic sign. how it could be swept up by google after a city council vote tomorrow. those stories and more this evening. coming up tonight on abc 7, at 8:00, catch "the great christmas light fight" followed at 10:00 by "the good doctor" and stay with us for "abc 7 news" at 11:00. at is 1:35, it is "jimmy
