Rubbish bins: Bin bag 'spy camera' to enforce refuse rules A spy camera will be put in a rubbish bag left in an alleyway Householders in a seaside town have been told to put their bins out at the front of their homes and not in an alleyway to the rear. They must also leave their rubbish out between set times to ensure it does not attract pests or miss the dust cart. To enforce the new rules, a camera will be placed in a rubbish bag and left in an alleyway to blend in with the surroundings to catch offenders. Those filmed breaking the rules will be given a ticking off. Repeat offenders could be handed a fixed penalty notice or even be taken to court and fined up to £1,000. The tiny covert camera, which has cost Weymouth and Portland Council, Dorset, up to £10,000, will also help catch householders who put their rubbish out too early or too late. The initiative has shocked local taxpayers. The spy camera is being introduced in the Park district in Weymouth, an area that suffers from fly-tipping. Residents in the area will have to follow strict rules which come into force on June 22.
