A mum-of-two was left confused when she was threatened with a £75 fine for leaving the lid of her bin slightly ajar.
Famy Meyzineva, from Connah’s Quay, said she left the bin lid just “5cm to 6cm” ajar, with no extra bags left beside it, adding that this was normally how she put out her rubbish and it was "like how everyone else on the street leaves their bins".
However refuse collectors from Flintshire Council warned her she would be handed the fixed penalty notice if her bin was found to have "side waste" on another occasion, NorthWalesLive reported.
