Behind the thievery: A newsprint shortage has recycling plants buying old newspapers for $150 to $200 a ton — five times the rate last year, One ton is equal to about 1 335 copies of USA Today, or 200 of The New York Times Sundayedition. Newspaper thefts ant limited to home- owners’ garbage: Bundles of free alternative newspapers, as well as newspapers in vending machines, also are being stolen. The crime waveis costing cities money they would make by selling newspapers to recyclers — money used to fund recycling programs. They're fighting back: In Scarborough, Ontario, sanitation manager Suzanne Farkas and herstaff have set up undercover stings to nab newspaper thieves, who are fined $10,000 to $100,000, Farkas says the scavengers, dubbed the Blue Box Bandits for the color of Scarborough's newspaper containers, were costing the city about 90 tons, or $25,000, a week.
