Just more British garbage.
This is what you can expect to happen when you let the control freaks run the funny farm.
A young, British mother is being forced to pay $524 because she impatiently placed her trash can at the curb a day early.
Zoe Watmough, 22, was hauled before judges and ordered to pay a hefty fine, reports the UK’s Daily Mail.
“I am flabbergasted,” Watmough said. “There are people committing all sorts of crimes and getting away with it. Yet I have left my bin out and have been fined the best part of £300.”
Officials from the Bolton Council in Greater Manchester detected her green recycling bin and gray garbage can on Wednesday – a full 24 hours before collection – but the council firmly dictates trash must not be taken out until after 7.30 a.m. on garbage day.
