ZERO BIN WASTE OR GET A FINE

Bin police will inspect rubbish of millions of families

AN ARMY of snooping bin police will inspect the ­rubbish of millions of families under a sinister Government plan to create “zero waste” in Britain.

Squads of spies will carry out dawn raids to check that householders are not throwing out any rubbish and recycling it all instead.

People failing to comply with the strict rules face hefty fines. The cloak-and-dagger crackdown from the so-called “Talibin” has been launched in six pilot areas, the Daily Express can reveal, and could eventually apply to virtually all UK households

A Defra spokesman said: “This project does not involve fines for householders who fail to recycle and it does not involve going through individual bins.
