In that case, sf should be lobbying the city attorney, the chief of
police, and her County Supervisor (San Francisco is a city-and-county in
one so the "city council" is subsumed in county government) instead of
just bitching at people behind her pseudonym on the Intarwebz. Does she
want to do something or does she just want to bitch?

I strongly suspect that it's technically against the law in my local
jurisdiction but it's one of those things that the police don't enforce
unless it gets pretty egregious. The recycling contractor is a non-profit
and gets paid anyway. ObFood: this entity also runs the farmer's markets
in town.
