The Bin Police Strike Again!

this time in two roads in Stockport, Greater Manchester, neighbouring Freemantle and Farr Streets in Stockport, in just two weeks 110 letters were sent to 68 homes, homeowners were told they could face a £100 penalty for further infringements but that the fine could reach up to £1,000 if the matter ended up in court, according to the letters homeowners in the area had allegedly breached a number of rules including, - leaving bins out before 5pm on the night before collection - collecting them after 7pm the following day - using blue bags for rubbish instead of black bins

a spokesman for Liberal Democrat-run Stockport Council said: 'a section 46 notices are served as a last resort, after face-to-face contact and letters have not rectified the situation, in the case of Freemantle Street and Farr Street non-recyclable waste was being placed in blue refuse sacks, as a opposed to the new black wheelie bin, on the wrong collection day, we are reminding residents that details of their collection day as well as a full list of what can be recycled can be found on the back of their personalised recycling calendars or by visiting the council website,' of course I suppose that the spokesman does not consider that the people who pay his salary might also have jobs that are not 9 to 5 and as easy as his, but well, he is doing his best to be a public servant and work for you!
