Pot Plants Sent To Recycling Center

SAN JOSE (AP) ― Authorities are on the lookout for a pot farmer who recycles.

Workers at a San Jose recycling center found a large trash bag filled with marijuana plants last week. They immediately reported the discovery to the police.

San Jose police say the plants could have come from anywhere in Santa Clara County. Because marijuana cultivation is illegal under federal law, the plants are evidence and won't be sent to a composting bin, authorities say.

Police say they don't know how much of the pot in the bag could have been sold.
