Counter sue the idiots
If you're a regular recycler you'll know the frustration of finding the bins in the council depot full. After all the effort of separating and collecting the waste you're frustrated because the council's contractor hasn't kept up with taking the rubbish away.
So when I heard about a child in Kent who was threatened with jail and then fined £50 for leaving her box of waste next to a full bin I went ballistic. The council should be fining the contractor and apologising to the public for failing to provide an efficient service.
I would file a counter claim in the small claims court. Even if I lost they would have to answer the summons to provide a proper answer.
I regularly call the so called recycling helpline when I'm faced with an overflowing can bank in York. I never receive a reply to the message I leave on the ever present voicemail. It's time us recyclers were treated properly instead of being fined by petty minded officers.

Just because the bin was full is no excuse for leaving litter. Why didn't the prople with the box put it in their car and store it until there was space. Over Christmas the recycling bins near our house was full but irresponsible people had left stacks of paper and cardboard around the bin to blow into the street. One bad service does not mean everyone should behave badly.
