Darebin council proposed fining residents up to $1500 if we put our rubbish bins in the street more than 24 hours before collection, or failed to bring them in in a timely manner.
Yet, for the past week, our footpaths and streets have been littered with hard rubbish while residents patiently await its collection.
One rule for the goose and another for the gander?
