Quote: tugglesf78 "My bin collection day was yesterday morning (black bin) and it was not brought back in from the alleyway until today at lunch.
Anyway the wife was visited today by some council worker informing her that we would be fined £80??? as we had left the bin out longer than 24 hours.
Anyone else had this happen?
I am pretty livid to be honest. Normally the bin gets collected by us as soon as possible, but it slipped our minds yesterday.
Seems a massive overreaction from WMBC to me and serves only to get some coffers through the door.'"
ask them can you fine them if they dont empty them on the chosen day like the rarely do. As they have given you notification of when it is. Also you can tell them you was in hospital due to a fall and it wasnt a priority, some crap like that will work.
