So if a dog walker is too lazy to take the dog droppings home and puts them in your recycling bin, you get fined.

SYRACUSE, N.Y —
The City of Syracuse Department of Public Works (DPW) has announced it will be issuing citations to property owners who do not follow setout requirements for trash and recycling carts, as of Monday, January 6. Fines are $100 for households that fail to correct violations after receiving a citation.

Prior to this, DPW crews issued warnings without citations or fines at properties that were already not following proper set out requirements. The most common mistakes included placing trash in recycling bins, bagging recyclables, and failing to break down large cardboard boxes, according to the DPW.
