Soiled Newspapers Needn't Be Separated

LVT Number: 8149

The DOS issued a violation notice to landlord for disposing of newspapers with her other garbage rather than separating the newspapers for recycling. Landlord claimed that the newspapers in question were soiled with cat litter, so she didn't recycle them. The ALJ ruled against landlord and fined her $25. Landlord appealed, and the ECB ruled for landlord. The ALJ had ignored landlord's statements, which were believable.
