Unfortunately Tinkerbelle the "lazy gits" have been instructed by HBC not to remove black bags, only to empty wheelie bins as each household is only supposed to produce one wheelie bin worth of rubbish per fortnight. Any excess black baggage placed by wheelie bins will result in the householder being fined for creating too much rubbish.

The fact that they have been taking a lot of bags up to now when according to HBC they shouldn't have has only complicated the issue.

The problem is that some families can't help creating more than a wheelie bin full per week and there doesn't seem to be a solution to that. For instance a family of four is going to produce more than one person living alone. This letter that went out today says we can be fined up to £1,000 for generating too much rubbish.

They even stipulate that the wheelie bin lid must close!
