      I mean they better fucking hope every cowboy builder and construction fly tipper in their area gets a worse fine than this, because fining someone £1k for an envelope is insane.

      For the record, sure I get she legally shouldn’t have done it. I would have been understanding of a “okay these are the rules and you broke them here’s a £30 fine” or something, but this level of financial hardship for something this minor is excessive, and I’m certain that far more prolific and harmful fly tippers are going unaddressed across the country.

      Don’t empty bins, fine people for leaving rubbish by the bins, repeat. Have Hounslow council unlocked an infinite money glitch?

      We’re supposed to believe that she only placed one piece of cardboard packaging on top of more cardboard and rubbish and that nothing else there was hers?

      > We have done the right thing in issuing the fine, because littering includes leaving waste anywhere in public apart from in a bin, regardless of whether bins are full.

      I don’t think it’s inappropriate to fine people for antisocial things like littering, spitting, etc, but £1,000 seems excessively high compared to other offences. As the lady herself points out, it’s more than the fine for speeding.

      I’m glad I always remove my address and other personal details from anything I throw away. Though I thought I was doing it to prevent identity thieves rather than council busybodies.

      The picture makes it look like the bins are inside the property boundary of the flat.

      If that’s the case, then how has she littered as it’s not a public place?

      council are off their heads if they think this is how people expect them to act! Fly tipping in any one’s language is dumping a significant amount of waste or large objects such as sofas or building materials, it does not extend to an envelope!!! i’d suggest the council has better things to do than make themselves look stupid!

      Remove anything with your address or if you have capability too burn your waste do that

      Water companies can pump cancer chemicals into our water but the real scourge are these paper envelopes.

      Notice how it was a woman. Similar to the council officials that fined a woman for pouring few drops of coffee down a drain. Women make up ~75% of TV license convictions.

      Why? **Easy targets.** Governments **LOVE** criminalising ordinary people for petty infractions – mostly so they can extract more money.

      A local vandal key’ed 20 vehicles in my street few years back because they were bored. They got £150 slap on wrist. I was fined a similar sum of money because the TFL autopay failed when driving in the London congestion zone.

      He said, “Kid, we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a—a half a ton of garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it.” And I said, “Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie. I put that envelope under that garbage.” – Alice’s Restaurant.

      I’ve seen enough stuff get fly-tipped to know that if there’s anything a council can use to do someone for it, they’ll use it. I also know sometimes some little shit comes around and knocks bins over, or the wind blows them over, or have had shitty neighbours put their stuff in other people’s bins because their own is full.

      That’s also why I rip off any addresses off any packaging too before I put it in my recycling bin.

      But you can’t fit an envelope in a recycling bin? Call me cynical but this ain’t a cardboard box. Surely could find some tiny gap which to put it in
