Exeter City Council has been banging on the door of getting money of out people who put the wrong rubbish in the wrong bins for ages (or should that be wrong rubbish in the right recycling container?) and a proposal to be considered by the council may introduce fines for persistent recycling offenders.
The idea is that the recycling offenders would be given a written notice advising them on how to separate their waste, and if they don’t they will be ordered to – or to pay the council to do it for them.
The proposal comes after the council’s unsuccessful attempt to prosecute Donna Challice for persistently contaminating her recycling bin.
As David Turner, of Exeter law firm Foot Anstey, told the Express and Echo: “The Challice case shows courts do not find people guilty without hard evidence.”
… apparently it had got all mushy…
