Neighbour moved bin

Neighbour moved our bin to front of our property yesterday. I'd left as I normally do at the back at the edge of our pathway that leads to our back gate and when I came home to move it back into our garden (I keep it here so no one can put their rubbish in it). The emptied bin had been moved to the front of our property. Unfortunately their driveway is next to our pathway and they constantly have their big work vans and other cars blocking our pathway with their bins as well (the vans take up all the space). I am annoyed they moved our bin to the front when it's our pathway and I always take bin in the next day almost straight away after it had been emptied by dustmen. They leave their bins out for weeks blocking our access way ...we constantly keep moving them back....so the window cleaners can get through to clean our windows.

AIBU to leave bin at the back at the end of our pathway (which they like to block off with their bins as well). Or should I give in and just move bin to front every week and their bins off our path as I go round? There's no room at the front because again of all the cars. Scared to talk to them as I'm so angry about it I will probably say something I regret.

So I've reported them to council for running a building business in a residential area. I'm so angry about it all.

As long as it’s on your property, you can keep your bin where you like. Move it back.

I dunno, getting upset over the location of a bin seems a bit ott.

Keep putting your bin where it's most convenient for you, as long as it's on YOUR property. Is this path you mention yours, or council owned? If it's yours, then put your bin there, and the neighbour can get fucked. But if it's council owned, that's more difficult and you'll have to share the space with the neighbour.

I think the massive work vans is a separate issue. I feel you there though, I've got a neighbour the same. 2 huge vans that really aren't suitable for long-term parking in a cul-de-sac.
