People in a metro Atlanta county could be fined for not recycling. Gwinnett County may start charging non-recyclers $500. A new solid waste ordinance penalizes those who throw recyclable items in the trash. But it's not about recycling for recycling's sake – it's to avoid state penalties on landfill. The aim is to meet a state policy that requires counties and cities to reduce solid waste by 25 percent.
