Greensboro Puts Trash Can Policy On Pause

After public backlash over a Facebook post concerning a town-wide trashcan policy, Greensboro Town Manager Cindy Yost said the town is putting the policy “on pause” while officials decide how to proceed. The Caroline Review reports on Thursday, October 9, the Town of Greensboro posted to their Facebook page a reminder that “All trash receptacles must be removed from the street within 24 hours after collection. Failure to comply will result in the following: 1st offense – Warning, must have receptacles removed within 24 hours of notice. 2nd offense – $100 fine per day until receptacles are removed.” After a number of complaints, the town says the policy is now on pause.
