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.'"
A couple of questions for you Tuggles. Firstly what legislation did they issue the fixed penalty under and secondly where do you present your bin for collection. The reason being I work for another local authority dealing with this kind of thing and I find it a little strange that they just issued you a FPN without warning.
