I also think how the courts in the case (1st link) convicted the man despite there being no eye witness, just the word of the council that the letter was found in the wrong bag. Not only does the first case seem heavy handed in its outcome, the weight given to the prosecution seems too much. As a result, the guy now has no intention of recycling, dumps all his rubbish in one bin, so avoids this reoccuring. Mind you, this is what I do - don't bother to recycle as if I get it wrong, I'll be hit with an excessive fine, whereas just dump it all in a regular bin, all goes away no questions asked (but that's another topic)
