Did anyone notice the the legal anomaly in the case? The council have fined him for dumping domestic waste in a public litter bin.My reading of he story, though, is that the postman never actually delivered the mail to his home, but handed the envelopes over to him as he left the house. Therefore it is arguable that because the waste had never passed the threshold, it cannot be classified as domestic waste. So what are the council up to?
