flag A Welsh woman may be fined for putting a non-recyclable package in a public bin, sparking debate over strict waste rules.

flag A 35-year-old mother in Flint, Wales, faces potential fines after placing a non-recyclable plastic parcel wrapper from an Aldi delivery in a public bin, prompting an investigation by Flintshire Council. flag Natasha Sheldon Lane, a full-time carer, said she was unaware the packaging couldn’t go in public bins and learned it could have been recycled at supermarket soft plastics bins. flag She was summoned for an interview under caution and could face a £300 fly-tipping charge or a £75 littering fine. flag The council confirmed it is investigating, stating public bins are for waste generated outside the home, not household disposal. flag Her case has drawn public concern over strict enforcement, especially amid rising council taxes and reduced waste services, with four similar cases reported in one week.
