I had no idea this was actually illegal.

Fortunately the rickshaw business is booming.

More than a dozen private recycling centers in Southern California also were implicated in the scheme because they accepted the Arizona cans and bottles, according to CalRecycle. While centers are responsible for determining containers' origins, in this case they either were operated by or formed alliances with the fraud ring, CalRecycle said.

Recyclable containers sold in California include a 5- or 10-cent charge, depending on their size. The money is refunded when the can or bottle is redeemed. But out-of-state containers can't be redeemed in California because the cans or bottles were not subject to the initial charge.

I'm surprised California even cared. Let it go. There are kids dying of cancer and they're concerned about some recycling laws? Petty.

After you get to $10 million, shouldn't you head to Costa Rica or something?

Glad they caught those monsters. Goverment bueracracy Environmental fraud is very serious business.

Now we know why California is bankrupt.

The government!

That's a lot of cans and bottles. I want to know how they acquired that stuff. I doubt they were picking up cans on the side of AZ's roads. If they were tricking AZ residents or diverting items that were supposed to be headed to AZ recycle centers, then they may have broken AZ laws as well.

In April 2014, DOJ agents "witnessed a semi-truck being loaded with used beverage containers" in Phoenix and tracked it to Bakersfield, according to a CalRecycle news release. In a dirt lot, the containers were moved to a trailer and a U-Haul truck, and eventually taken to a recycling center in the city.

Was Officer Pete Malloy involved in this?

Who has the job of finding all these recycled cans and bottles, that have yet to be processes, and trucking them to a landfill?

No, but if they had just pilfered OPM's throwaways, they would have had all the Diet Coke cans and rum bottles they could handle.
