BBC News - Council rubbish bin collection fines to be scrapped

Fines for residents who break the rules on rubbish collections in England are to be scrapped, the BBC has learned.

Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman is expected to announce next month that the charges will be outlawed in all but the most serious cases of fly-tipping.

Meanwhile, ministers have warned councils against "charging by the back-door" for refuse services.
