'A private litter warden gave Isabelle Pepin a £500 fixed penalty notice (FPN) for fly-tipping this week after she left an Ikea cabinet outside her home for people to take. In another case, a carpet fitter from Bournemouth was also given a £500 FPN for leaving an off-cut outside his home for someone to take.'
'Julie, also from Bournemouth, is fighting a £500 FPN she is unable to afford to pay – and which will increase to £1,000 in two weeks’ time – for leaving six planks of wood stacked outside her garden gate for people to collect.
“The private litter warden had me in tears,” she said. “I told him I didn’t realise I was doing anything wrong and offered to take the wood back into my garden immediately. But he said he was being lenient and what I’d done was so bad that he should actually be taking me to court to get a £50,000 fine.”

They would probably loose money as it would need to be funded by the revenue these fines bring in |  | | |

In my world, a progressive tax system pays for crucial public services like this, and the rich don't scream and wail about contributing to a decent and just society for all. |  |
