A retired woman was taken to court after a neighbour put empty Fruit Shoot bottles in her black wheelie bin.
Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council took action against Catherine Maddy, alleging she failed to properly dispose of her recyclable waste, as the bottles were in the incorrect bin.
The former secretary appeared at Cwmbran Magistrates' Court, where Hayley Hawkins, appearing on behalf of the council, said the authority had decided to drop the case.
