Waste Receptacle Notices and fines
To help keep our borough clean and safe,
it’s important to present your household refuse for collection in
the correct way – such as not putting it out too early and making
sure you leave it in the right place.
What is a Waste Receptacle
Notice?
Our Street Scene Officers patrol the borough
and can issue Waste Receptacle Notices to anyone who has failed to
present their rubbish correctly.
Notices are a formal letter sent by post.
The letter provides advice on when, where, and how to present
your household refuse, to help make sure it doesn’t happen
again.
If you repeatedly fail to comply with this
notice it may result in you being issued with a fixed penalty
notice of £100. If this notice is not paid, proceedings may be
taken to court where you could then be fined up to £1000.
