This story comes from Oakland, CA. It seems the city is on its way to impose a measure "which would impose fees on all restaurants and stores that serve takeout food or beverages" to cover the cost of city clean up. The city says 40% of the street trash comes from places that serve take out food. The tax would be anywhere from $280-3200 depending on the profits of the store.
Is this fair to businesses? Are businesses responsible for their trash even after its sold to the customer?
