"A man who spends an hour every day picking up litter from the streets has been fined by the council. David Baker has been accused by officials of fly-tipping because they said he had used a public street bin to deposit a pizza box and junk mail which is classed as &amp;quot;domestic waste&amp;quot;. The 39-year-old said that he was angry at the fine and that the council must be so &amp;quot;desperate for money&amp;quot; they will fine anyone. He stated: &amp;quot;How can people who actually want to put rubbish in the bin be fined? To claim that what I put in the bin amounts to fly-tipping is crazy.&amp;quot;  Baker moved into his town centre flat in Stourbridge, Dudley six years ago, and got so fed up with rubbish piling up in the street that he decided to do something about it. &amp;quot;I fill a carrier bag or two a day, and I go out most days of the year - unless I&amp;#039;m on holiday,&amp;quot; he added. &amp;quot;I am out at least an hour every day and do it all for free. &amp;quot;I just think the council are desperate for money and have a mentality of fining people for anything at the moment.&amp;quot; Councillor Tracy Wood said: &amp;quot;Our enforcement officers issued a fixed penalty fine to Mr Baker in Stourbridge, after they found his domestic waste and letters in the litter bin on a number of occasions. &amp;quot;However, we will be reviewing the fine and speaking to Mr Baker directly to discuss it.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Pensioner threatened with jail for sweeping leaves outside home &amp;gt; Cleaning fairy accused of breaking into home, cleaning it "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
