Bin there, not done it
May 24th, 2006
We all love recycling (hey, I got this story from thisisexeter.co.uk), but being prosecuted for not doing it seems a little extreme.
Donna Challice from Wonford, Exeter, is facing six charges of putting the wrong rubbish in her dustbin - non-recyclable waste in the green bin.
Then again, the foolishness of people not demonstrating responsible behaviour is forcing the authorities to take control. (No-smoking policies in buildings are treated with scathing derision. ‘I’m not bothered about killing myself, it’s not killing you I object to,’ cough the die-hard smokers as they skuttle away from the non-smoking zones).
But then, says Donna, prove that I did it (ie put the wrong rubbish in the right bin). The trial continues, and we await the verdict with baited breath. Meanwhile, the barbed wired goes around my thoroughly checked recycling bins.
Maybe next someone will take the council to court for not recycling when it said it would. . .
