The uncontrollable march of the administrative bureaucrat continues, it seems, unabated. £100 fines if you put the wrong food in the dustbin.

It's simple really. You pay your rates which covers the removal of your rubbish. The councils are changing the rules but not the rates so (morally at least and it could be legally challenged) you should be able to reassess your part in the process.
If you have to do work which you previously didn't have to do on the councils behalf then charge them for it!

Get an invoice book from W H Smith or download one from the Internet, assess how much extra time YOU are giving to the council over and above that which you did when they last assessed your rates and charge them. Be fair and reasonable about this. Say two hours per month at £10 x 12 =£120. Send the invoice to the Environmental office. This should state 'hrs for realignment of household waste' at -'your address'. Include your bank details for BAACS transfer.
Use your rates invoice number as a reference, this is in case they check and the number will at least show up as a legitimate council number.

You are not committing any fraud as you should be able to prove that the council's insistence has led to you having to do work for which you are entitled to some compensation.

Most large organisations pay these types of bills automatically. It is up to the council to challenge your right to charge them.

Enjoy, it all helps :-)
