Households can be hit with a fixed penalty
Householders are being warned to brush up on wheelie bin rules or be hit with a fixed penalty from their local council. The gardening experts at GardenBuildingsDirect.co.uk have looked at the regulations around wheelie bins and when local residents can get fined.
Other reasons for a fixed penalty include if the bins are likely to attract vermin like foxes and rats or if the bin and bags are unsightly. Penalties can be as high as £80, although households do have the right to explain why they shouldn’t have to pay the notice. They do stress that following a few simple courtesies like only putting your bin out for collection the night before and bringing it in once collected will ensure you don’t fall foul and get slapped with a fine. A spokesperson for Garden Buildings Direct said: “It’s surprising what you can get fined for now, but using some common sense will mean you avoid any issues.
