Claim bin firm issued fines over tea bag and four biscuits

A single tea bag and four biscuits have resulted in people being fined for bin waste contamination, it has been claimed.

People Before Profit councillor John Lyons yesterday revealed a “couple of pensioners” were fined by their bin provider for having a tea bag in their recycling waste.

However, the claim at a press conference was refuted by Greyhound.
