Men in hoodies have been taking rubbish and putting it into white vans this week:
The ‘spies’ were part of a week-long waste analysis study by the Northamptonshire Waste Partnership, a collaboration of eight local authorities working to reduce rubbish going to landfill. An external contractor was told to go through the bins of residents.
One thousand houses were targeted as part of the survey, including 780 in Northamptonshire.
But none of the inhabitants of Cedar Close, Irchester, near Wellingborough, Northants, had received any notice from their council about what was going on.
