Recycling Nazis strike!
It has come to this! Dare we ponder what comes next?
A council refused to collect rubbish from a 95-year-old war veteran who is nearly blind - because he put a ketchup bottle in the wrong bin.
Lenny Woodward, a former Desert Rat who has lived in the same house for 58 years, was confused by a new regime of fortnightly collections and rigid recycling rules.
Residents have a blue wheelie bin for cans and cardboard, a green box for glass and a black bin for other waste.
Mr Woodward made the mistake of putting the ketchup bottle and a coffee jar in the blue bin when they should have gone in the green box.
When binmen inspected the blue bin, they refused to empty it and attached a tag to it warning him not to break the rules again.
What would happen if he did dare to “break the rules” again? Sounds quite threatening doesn’t it?
