Hi guys,

 

Wondered if you could help.

 

 

A guy walked into our shop and gave us two £300 fines.

He said a box with our address was left at a recycling centre.

He said the fine is for littering and a transfer note.

 

 

We recycle all our cardboard and plastic and we showed him upstairs where we store all our cardboard and it is collected every two days.

We have all the transfer notes and said we have given customers boxes when asked.

But we would never leave our rubbish around.

Why would we travel 20 minutes away to leave a cardboard box??

He said we have to pay the fine no appeal process.

 

Our question is we do have transfer notes.

He didn't want to see it

just said we have a fine for not having one.

What is his evidence?

 

 

Surely anyone could place a box with anyones details on and they would be fined £300??

What if it had come off a delivery van?

What is a customer took it.

It surely becomes residential waste and was ok for a recycling centre??

 

Thanks,

you cannot take commercial waste home and recycle it from there

so I am assuming the enforcement officer has decided that you have done this and his bonus for ticketing is assured for that week.

 

 

Now, consider McDonalds, they have their name on their boxes but they dont get done every time someone buts an empty burger box in the recycling.

If the box was packaging of the item sold then it is domestic waste the moment it leaves your shop.

 

I would be getting on to the local press about this as I think that the interpretation of the law is ambivalent at best.

Get your local councillor involved as well,

you have the paper trail so they wont be backing the wrong horse.

 

 

Get this done in tandem with appealing the fines so it all passes the decision maker's desk at the same time.
