Leave Your Trash Bin Out More Than 24 Hours After Collection?  That's A $9,150 Fine In East Staffordshire
Because, says this UK council, someone may bump into your bin and hurt themselves

The East Staffordshire Borough Council, which may be the stupidest local government in England, will be levying a £100 ($183) fine to people who do not take their trash bins off the street within 24 hours after being emptied or who put the bins out before the evening prior.  And if the fine isn't paid in just 14 days, the fine immediately goes up to an unbelievable £5,000 ($9,150) !!  The council says this is necessary because somebody might bump into the bin and hurt themselves.

People in East Staffordshire have now learned that their household garbage must be more respected than their local government.
