"Heavy-handed bin fines have for too long been used to punish people for innocent mistakes. We are now consigning them to the scrap heap of history," Ms Spelman said.
"We want to see people helping us to boost recycling rates by putting out their rubbish correctly, but bullying them with fines is not the way to do it," she said.

My local council will fine you for having your bin lid open by only one inch, They even issued the bin men with a handy guage to check with.
So removal of barmy rules and fines is about time.
