Woman in court on recycle charges

A 30-year-old mother of three has appeared before magistrates in Devon accused of failing to recycle household waste properly.

Donna Challice, of Wonford, Exeter, is being prosecuted for contaminating recyclable rubbish under the Environmental Protection Act.

She faces a possible fine of £1,000 and court costs if found guilty.

Under the Environmental Protection Act, local authorities have the power to specify how people separate their waste, which bin it should be placed in and which day it will be collected.
