Barry Freezer, who lives in West Earlham, Norwich, made the mistake of dumping cabbage stalks in his bin and incurred the wrath of the council's waste collection supremos.
He says they treated him like a criminal and refused to collect his garden waste, claiming the cabbage trimmings were kitchen rubbish.
The binmen were following an obscure rule that forbids food that may have come into contact with meat from being mixed with garden waste for composting, to prevent outbreaks of diseases such as foot and mouth.
