New Recycling Laws Enforcement Unspecific?

Granted, there is only so much "stuff", and only a foolish culture doesn't recycle. However it is a well-known neo-Nazi trick to write unclear laws which nebulously make ordinary living illegal in some ways, for selective enforcement to get rid of their political enemies. Specifically here, there is no list of what goes in what bin. Many if not most new mothers use disposable diapers out in public, and even if at home, they are not properly flushable in most plumbing systems. Compost or garbage? Roll the dice and maybe get fined! Cat litter, same liability in choices. Used bandages? And on, and on. Anything critical to our culture and therefore worth doing right, should not become a vehicle for Fascism. Will suggested lists of "what goes where" be themselves recycled without officials even reading them? If no such lists are adopted, can citizens succeed in demanding lists of specifics of what will not get them fined? Opinions, please. Regards, Larry.

Update:

Everyone please ignore the put-downers which often follow me around hoping to obliquely punish me for either not being gay or failure to surrender to crooks.

Update 2:

It's San Francisco, and heralded as a "model" for other cities, despite yet to be signed into law! First off, beware having too restrictive a definition of Fascist, as they start small and work up, expanding from the edges like a fungus. And may I ask where the dirty diapers go, if not flushed, or one of the 3 bins ? Anything remotely compostable is clearly designated "compost" by some authorities, and a fine would ensue if anything remotely compostable is not put into compost, including the diapers and catbox, etc. Other authorities will apply legal remedy if such IS put into the compost rather than the garbage. Finally, I must suggest that your insulting, overbearing, sanctimonious, and condescending demeanor toward anyone speaking ill of Fascism, well, actually 'nuff said!

    ABOVE PERSON WROTE: NO PRODUCTS TOUCHING FOOD CAN BE RECYCLED. In our town about 2yrs now we can put any paper product that touched food, i.e, paper plates (scraped) pizza boxes, milk cartons etc in our recycle bin with our green waste!! Well no recycle police here or just not so strict.

    Of which government's recycling regulations are you speaking? It's hard to have an informed response without specifics.

    The best I can say is that you seem to be overreacting. After all, last I checked there were no "well-known neo-Nazis" controlling any government well enough to enact such "fascist" regulations. Even if such were the case, I think they'd use a different vehicle for control, such as secret policing and economic manipulation. Besides, you seem to launch into a non-sequitur after here. As far as I know, nothing that includes bodily fluids (re: used diapers, cat litter, used bandages, tissues, toilet paper) can be recycled, just as nothing that has touched food (re: paper plates, napkins, etc) can be sent for recycling. Additionally, neither flushing a diaper, trashing it, or composting it (if that's even possible) count as recycling.

    Source(s): Common sense; also I'm an environmental engineering major so this sort of topic is my bread and butter.

    Many western international locations comprise a "separation of powers" into their governance shape. those separations are in many situations : Legislature, government and judiciary. This ensures that no organization/guy or woman/branch etc has undue potential. for this reason the police do not "make" the guidelines, they in trouble-free terms enforce the guidelines. regulation enforcement should not be above the regulation, in the event that they have been, the appropriate tests and stability at the instant are not occuring.
