The dog lives in it.

Those front gardens are tiny. Is the policeman guarding the bunting (presumably it is St Helens if so).

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.

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.

The bin is collected from the rear of my house and left about 120 yards way by the binmen at the end of the alley (which coincidentally is an absolute bombsite, full of broken bricks, other peoples garden waste etc).

The legislation code is NI1 or NL1 (cant read the Nazi's handwriting).

About 14 months ago (at a guess) i had a letter through the door telling me that i had put the wrong colour of bin out (green instead of blue or visa versa) for the scheduled collection.

The questions i have are

If i had not painted my house number on the bin (to stop theft) then how would they have known it was mine? do all the "offenders" who have unmarked bins get away Scott free?

Why do the houses on the other side of the street (who have been gifted a large steel gate at the entrances to their alleyway) have carte blanche to leave all there bins wherever they want. I have just looked now and there must be 20 bins left there currently. Some that will not have been moved since Christmas (blue bins).

The simple reason that the bin had not been brought in was one of pure forgetfulness. I specifically asked the wife not to collect it during the day as that would have necessitated leaving a 9 week old baby in the house unsupervised with a Springer spaniel (when he is not in the fridge [/quote:1dso5atj] [quote="MattyB":1dso5atj]you cant tell me they are all busting for a turd.
