INWOOD — An elderly Inwood woman was enraged after she got a $100 ticket for throwing out a newspaper in a sidewalk garbage can, according to the New York Post.
Delia Gluckin, 80, threw out a newspaper in a city trash can outside of her Inwood apartment building on Sunday, only to be approached by a sanitation agent with a ticket in hand.
"I was walking to take the subway downtown and dropped it in a trash can, and this lady in a blue uniform ran up to me," Gluckin told the Post.
Sanitation worker Kathy Castro wrote Gluckin up for placing "improper refuse" in a city garbage can, according to the Post.
"I have a feeling she just wanted to make her quota," the octogenarian told the paper.
The standard green city bin has a sign on it that reads "litter only" and "no household trash."
Gluckin said she plans to fight the $100 summons.
