Residents are being asked to report neighbours for ‘environmental crimes’ such as putting their bins out too early or late.<\/p>\n

A council is urging householders to snoop on fellow residents and fill in ‘diary sheets’ to log incidents – the same way it tackles violent anti-social behaviour.<\/p>\n

Such ‘crimes’ can be committed by putting bins out at the wrong times or leaving them in the wrong place.<\/p>\n

Householders could face a \u00a3100 fixed penalty notice or be fined up to \u00a31,000 in court for leaving rubbish next to a bin or blocking a path with a bin.<\/p>\n

The clampdown, by Hull City Council, has provoked a furious reaction, with residents insisting they won’t do officials’ ‘dirty work’ for them.<\/p>\n

It sent letters to residents of one street after complaints that rubbish had been dumped and wheelie bins left out for days on end.<\/p>\n
