Wheelie Bin Fines

Requested Thu 21 March 2019
Responded Mon 01 April 2019

Please could you provide me with the total number of fixed penalty wheelie bin fines issued for all residential property types in 2018, as per your local authority. If possible could you please break down the number of fines per the reasons as cited on the Gov.uk website:

• causes an obstruction to neighbours, such as forcing people using wheelchairs or buggies to walk on the road
• restricts access to the pavement or street, for example leaving waste receptacles (bins or bags) out for several days
• is likely to attract vermin like foxes and rats, such as leaving bags or open receptacles out days before a waste collection
• is unsightly (torn bags or overturned receptacles are left out)

Response

Hastings Borough Council has not issued any fixed penalty notices in 2018 for any of the reasons provided.
