to have told the clean eas woman that if she didn't want me to bin her catalogues she shouldn't put them through my door?

[wannaBe]

Knock on door from woman wanting her catalogue back. Tbh I pick up everything that comes through the door and stick it on the desk where dh then recycles the junk (which makes up a decent proportion of it.

So I say to her "sorry, dh has probably binned it." at which point she gets quite agressive and says "I have to pay for those! You can't do that!" To which I replied "well, if you don't want it binning don't put it through my door." She wasn't happy.

YANBU. If you didn't ask for it then it's tough! Why should you have her crappy catalogue cluttering up your house? We live in a large house converted into flats and get tons of junk through the door, most of which goes straight into the recycling, I don't even look at most of it.
