A man has been slapped with a 'formal written warning' from the council for leaving his bins out too long - when he was at work. CCTV worker Philip Robinson had put his bins out before leaving for work and his partner was away on holiday.
But he later received the 'formal written warning' from Stoke-on-Trent City Council. It comes as the council is threatening to seize wheelie bins left out after 7pm on collection days in a new crackdown.
And the council also slapped Philip with a £400 fly-tipping fine after he left out four cardboard boxes with his rubbish, Stoke-on-Trent Live reports.
