Love the bit about unsold goods – fuck you go outdoors!!
I think the first part might become unenforceable. I can put the right shit in my bin but it’s not going to stop any fanny fishing on the loch dumping their empty red stripes in my garden waste bin and I’m not paying for it.
They would have to come and get the bin to check I had done somit wrong first
We live in a flat with asshole neighbours who think any bin is there for their own personal convenience; it doesn’t help that even the wheely bins are shared. Cue landfill in the food bin and the recycling bin on a regular basis. Can’t see how the Council will enforce fines in that scenario.
I live next to a street that is just full of minks that fill every bin with whatever they want. For some reason they still put the bin out thinking that this time the bin men will empty their plastic bottles and nappies into the garden waste bin. Eventually they just empty them out somewhere round the corner or leave them on the street until they get knocked over and scatter rubbish everywhere. The council have already threatened to take any bins left on the street away.
Maybe the threat of a fine will actually make a couple of them sort their rubbish properly, but maybe that’s wishful thinking.
I agree with the part about banning companies from binning unsold product, I’m sure something else can be done rather than sending it to landfill.
we don’t have enough bins for the number of flats in this block, and people are fucking awful about overfilling them (had major problems with seagulls pulling stuff out of the overflowing bins and covering the yard with trash), and filling the blue bins with regular rubbish. so honestly, i don’t see how they’ll be able to enforce a fine here, unless they try to charge the whole block. but they haven’t actually provided enough bins in the first place.
