Request
The monetary charge of a fixed penalty notice for residents disposing of contaminated recycling located in Dover District Council area.
Response
Under our domestic waste enforcement procedure, should a resident present waste within their recycling bin for collection which is not accepted by the Council ie the recyclables are contaminated with items not accepted under our recycling scheme, then the Council has a power to issue a £60 fixed penalty should the necessary procedural steps have taken place including the service of a domestic waste receptacles and putting out notice and notice of intention to serve a fixed penalty. The Council has however not issued any fixed penalty notices.
