What Rubbish !!!!

A woman who put her recycling in the wrong coloured bags was arrested and locked in a cell by police.

Officers detained Lindsey Webb after she failed to appear at Suffolk Magistrates' Court.

The 34-year-old was due to attend in April after she was accused of breaching the Environmental Protection Act four times the previous month by putting out her rubbish in the street.

It came after the authority changed its collection system to replace black bin liners with clear and orange bags to separate waste.

Bills addressed to her were found in the bags and CCTV captured her leaving the bags to be collection.

She said that when the collection changes came in, she contacted the council for the new bags but they never came.

The mother-of-three was ordered to pay £50 to Ipswich Borough Council and given a six-month conditional discharge, the Ipswich Star reports.

Her lawyer, Jeremy Kendall, says that she secured permission to leave black bags out on collection days.

And he pointed out that she'd left the waste outside a boarded-up shop and had not inconvenienced anybody.

Mr Kendall added that Webb had not attended court for her scheduled appearance due to the fact that she never received a summons.

The dictatorship of the majority is the worst kind.
I’m with ttkspectre... mob mentality is the recycled new normal.

Like bell bottoms, we didn’t really need them to come back like they did... yikes.

Perhaps they are using the wrong color bags too. dunno
This is what happens when socialists get power and create a government that tells you what you are and are not allowed to eat, what kind of car you can and cannot drive, what kind of healthcare you can and can't have and how you have to package your trash.

After all, socialists are much more enlightened than you and you should be happy that you have them to tell you how to live your life.
I'm neither far left nor far right. But i do know that by definition, it's difficult to argue with an idiot.
