Neighbour leaving bins out

81 replies

I live in a cul de sac where some of the neighbours gardens back on to my close. One neighbour takes forever to take their bins in. It makes the close look so untidy. It doesn't effect them because they dont see it because their house faces the next road. They were collected Friday morning and they're still there. WIBU to ask them to take them in more promptly?

Depending on your front garden, whether you have a fence etc that might annoy me. If I could see someone else’s bins while I’m in my house for an extra two days (presumably three as they won’t be moving them at this time of night) then yes I would be annoyed. But if they’re relatively hidden - you have a high fence etc - I’d be less bothered.

That time of the year. We've had the pissy Facebook posts on our village group telling people the collections are delayed and can't people read the council website.

Well yeah but after your simular tantrum last year some of us now deliberately put our bins out to annoy you.

How does a perfectly normal thing of everyday life such as a wheelie bin make a road look untidy?

I don’t think that will be well-received. Next door and I pull each other’s up the drive when we’re doing our own - is that a possibility?

Yes, ridiculous
Unless it blocks the path etc

It does block the path
