A London woman had a £600 fine overturned after a cardboard piece with her details blew from her bin, sparking debate over strict littering penalties.
A 32-year-old London woman was fined £600 by Haringey Council after a piece of cardboard with her name and address was found on the street near her home, allegedly blown from her recycling bin after collection.
She claimed she had broken down all boxes before disposal and believed wind caused the incident.
Initially shocked and thinking the notice was a prank, she appealed the fine, citing stress and inability to pay, and criticized the penalty as disproportionate, especially compared to unaddressed larger litter issues.
After contacting local officials and appealing further, the council overturned the fine, but the incident sparked debate over the fairness of strict littering penalties for accidental cases.
