Our local authority (which has just become 'unified' - ie the district council has been abandoned in favour of the County Council) has announced that anyone 'contaminating' recycling bins with none-recyclable items will (on the third transgression) have their bin 'removed' and have to pay £35 to have it returned. In addition to imposing a £20 charge for 'garden waste' they are discouraging recycling (and flytipping).
