Share Green Police Reality In Britain: £1,000 Fine For Using Wrong Bin

The “nanny state” in Britain bounds forward today as all the over-hyped talk of “rubbish bin spies” or “green police” pretty much becomes a reality.
Environment Secretary Hilary Benn has put forward plans which could see households use up to 5 different bins in order to adequately dispose of waste, without having to go through bin-bags to pick out each individual item at the time of collection. Almost like a mini-home recycling depot.
As reported by Mail Online:
The plans for fines of up to £1,000 will be announced in a consultation document published by Mr Benn’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Welsh Assembly today.
Get something in the wrong bin and be prepared to pay the price seems to be the message. Something not so humorously portrayed in the recent Superbowl green police advert:
This recent proposal joins the already complicated web of fines associated with waste disposal. In my local town of Spalding, you can be fined for putting out the rubbish too early.

To be fined you have be in court and proved to guilty of a crime, to be guilty there has to be a victim, so the councils would have prove they recycle the rubbish, if not how can they be a victim as a lot of councils don’t bother recycling rubbish even though the want us to. I would not bother with the bins at all and just throw rubbish in the streets where the MPs and councilors live as littering is not a crime as there is no victim involved. To commit a crime you have do something, also to know you are doing something and to have a victim. Fixed Penalty Notices are not fines and do not have to be paid. Would pay a notice from anybody, no only a bill or invoice.
bollocks, a sad few do, do these things, nothing to do with windy days.
“in my local town of Spalding, you can be fined for putting out the rubbish too early”
Learn the bigger picture my friend!
I grew up living in high flats, nappies, televisions and people themselves got tossed out of windows from 20 stories up.
Wrap your rubbish, put it in a bin and put it in the street for collection at the approriate time and retrieve it so as not to be a nuisance to other people, whats wrong with that? yes unfortunately there is need for legislation cause theres muppets like you that thinks its okay to put bags out whenever you like, for it to ripped apart by urban wildlife and rubbish to be strewn and blame it on the wind… social living aint all bad is it? ;O)
oh n mind your green cross code LOL
you can be fined ANYWHERE in the Uk for putting out your rubbish too early, it’s part of the EP act , not to leave your bins on the highway/pavement at the wrong time. its a god thing otherwise theyd be all over the lace more than they are already…. numpty
Yes its a marvelous thing, please, give me more laws, we need more laws! Gimme a break pal, do you honestly think we need a piece of legislation telling us that we can’t put our bin-bags out at a certain time? I guess we’ll need Big Brother holding our hand to cross the road as well.
“its a god thing otherwise they’d be all over the lace”
Yeah because we’re all savages and throw our rubbish out the window in to the streets. Most of the time when a bag ends up in the road it’s because it’s a windy day.
