£1,000 fine for putting any food scraps in the dustbin as 'zero waste' policy could lead up to five-bin headache

Householders could be fined £1,000 if they throw food scraps and potato peelings into the dustbin under a Government 'zero waste' policy.

They will be forced to sift through their rubbish for anything that can be recycled, reused, rotted or burnt for electricity.

The crackdown will create so much recyclable material that homes could be given five wheelie bins and waste boxes to cope.

they are encouraging people to rat each other out too. They now offer cash prizes for catching crooks and others who break "laws".
