Residents of one Australian suburb face a truly gigantic fine if they make this one “rubbish” mistake with their waste bins.

Residents in a Perth suburb face a substantial fine if they let their rubbish bins get too smelly after a new wheely bin was introduced.

Those living in Victoria Park could be hit with a fine of up to $5000 if their green-topped garden organics bin attracts a bad odour according to a new local law.

The new law is intended to make sure that people sort their rubbish correctly in the new bin, Mayor Karen Vernon told 6PR.

“We will need some powers, as a local council, to be able to make that behaviour change appropriately,” she said.
