6 days agoWoman fined 1k for 'fly-tipping envelope'
Loretta Alvarez, 26, said the communal bins - shared with about 25 other properties - were full, so she placed the cardboard envelope on top of cardboard next to the bins. Ms Alvarez, who is a single mother, said she cannot afford to pay and is now being threatened with legal action. Hounslow Council said fly tipping was defined as leaving waste anywhere in public apart from in a bin, regardless of whether bins are full.
