Weissman contacted the municipality and stated that she has lived in Herzliya since 2007, has never lived in Petah Tikva, has not dumped waste in this city and does not know what it is, and that the initial report was not sent to her address and therefore did not even know about it. .
According to her, she received a response in an email from the Petah Tikva municipality informing her that the request had been forwarded for processing.
About two years later, at the beginning of 2022, Weissman again received the report from the Petah Tikva municipality, for an amount that has since jumped slightly, to NIS 2,380.
Weissman called the municipality again and spoke with a representative, who claimed that the report was frozen until the attorney general's decision was made, and that the municipality sent all of its open reports again to prevent statute of limitations. At the same time, Weissman sent an email to the Petah Tikva municipality in which she demanded to know what waste was thrown away and how its details reached the municipality. According to her, the answer she received only answered the condition of the report - which is currently on appeal, and is frozen until the attorney general's decision - but Weissman claims that she was not sent the picture of the waste in question or her personal details.
Can the municipality charge for garbage thrown in the city with the details of a non-resident? Lawyer Eyal Basarglik replies: "If the lady has never lived in Petah Tikva, I do not see how the municipality can demand payment from her for waste with her name written on it. In addition, the municipality is obligated to prove a duty of invention for the two reports, and the woman's connection to the report and the acts attributed to it.
Following Israel Today's request, Weissman's report was canceled, and a Petah Tikva municipality spokeswoman said in response:
Meanwhile, the report was registered in the lady's name, and according to a letter dated December 5, 2019, as also appears in your application, she admits that the waste belongs to her: 'I do not know how my personal documents got to the street.' At length, and this complies with the provisions of the By-Law, so it turns out that the waste is the sole responsibility of the person.
"Despite her confession, due to a specific issue in the proceedings, it was decided to act for Kula and cancel the report - before the rule of law.
This is in the context of the appeal that took place, and in the framework of which the lady was told that in any case the report was "frozen".
