Recycling Bin Fines London Mirror | February 7 2006 PEOPLE who put the wrong type of rubbish in their recycling bins are to be hit with an £80 fine. They will get a football style yellow sticker for a first offence, red for a second and then fined. Councillor Albert Pearce accused Babergh Council in Suffolk of "acting like a police state". He added: "Many people have to leave their bins out on the pavement. "Who is to say someone else might put the wrong rubbish in it?" The council claims it spends £30,000 a year sorting out waste that has been wrongly recycled. |
