Neighbour has put bins on footpath who to complain too?

If it's on your land, the Council aren't going to be interested.

Just keep taking them back - shame if they fell over and spilt everything everywhere

This. Keep us updated!

My nutty neighbour started placing her bin at the bottom of my drive every bin day rather than outside her house. I’d move it and drive my car onto drive, she’d move it back to behind my car. Next day I’d move it, go to work. She was just a fruitcake.
Then one day my friend was picking me up, I said watch the nutty old bats wheelie bin when you pull up to my drive. My friend, who really didn’t bother much for nice cars just deliberately ploughed straight into it ramming it into the font of my neighbours house and flowerbed. She didn’t do it again.

If its your property.. id move them off it, or lock them in my garage. Or id knock it over so the bags spill on her property

Start using her bins instead of your’s

If you own the land, it is surely a private dispute, nothing to do with the council. They would only get involved if the bins are on a public highway.

Or move them somewhere out of sight so they dont get emptied that week and she has to hunt for them. Im sure she will get the message.

This happened near me. Council sent a letter to every house on the road saying bins were being left out and it contravened a bylaw and to stop doing it.

She is leaving bins on your land - why do you need to ask her to move them? Just move them back on to her land every single time. Be 100% persistent and consistent and if she is till doing it after a month you need to up the ante. This is a battle you can absolutely win but you need to do it yourself not expect anyone else to, because no one else is as motivated as you are.

Walk them up the road out of sight and let her go hunting for them. Total CF.

I noticed that one poster asked "Does she rent". What on earth does that have to do with where the neighbour places her bins? Even if she does do you really think her LL is going to approach her over such trivia? The LL is her business partner not her parent. A sensible LL is not going to sour his relationship with the person who is paying his mortgage because of a whinging neighbour.

I had some bin problems with a neighbour when I first rented a house in the area, On bin day my neighbour used to park her bins directly in front of my gate, alongside where I put out mine. This made no sense as she had to drag them a few yards along the pavement to do so. I think they must have been in her way when she was getting her car in and out. Perhaps she somehow imagined she was my social superior because I was renting. Each time I moved them back to by her gate. Next week they would again in front of mine. One windy night I dragged the bins back to her gate and they must have "accidentally" blown over. Nexy day all the rubbish had blown onto her drive and into the street. She never did it again.

Put your bin on her drive!

Keep putting them back on their side, some people are just so rude. We had new neighbours and they were using our bins for their rubbish, even though they have their own, our number on ours, they also put the wrong rubbish in our bins, the council do check now and again, I just grabbed the bags and dropped them on their side, had to do it twice but they got the hint.

I'd ask once more, and say you asked before and nothing happened but you need the bins moved as its on your property and blocking your buggy. If she doesn't move them then you'll have them removed from your property and she'll need to buy new bins. I'd also tell her that if she has a mobility issue or similar that makes it difficult for her to move the bins kerbside for collection she can request the council take them out and leave them back for her so she doesn't need to manoeuvre them. Leave them back on to her property immediately before the conversation.

If she moves them back out then have them removed by the council as bulky waste or the waste disposal team might collect them.

Every time she leaves a bin there take it and hide it in your shed or garage. She'll soon get the hint.

I would send her a formal letter. You have asked previously and if the behaviour continues, you will report her for antisocial behaviour. You can contact the council.

Cool more bin space..I'd absolutely start filling them up.

Can you take her bins so she can’t use them?

What did she say when you asked her not to?

OP makes clear that she already has tried talking to her. It hasn’t worked.

OP - environmental health for fly-tipping, keep putting the bins back. If nothing changes, move the bins back onto public property a distance away each time so she has to go and get them herself. Make it more problematic for her to put them on your land than to keep them on hers.

Seriously CF.

I agree with keep moving them back. If she then does the same, I’d move them back PLUS move your own bins onto her property then knock her door and ask if she finds it acceptable. Perhaps this might get the message across more clearly. If it doesn’t, I’d then move their bins onto the road or another property and see what happens….

Not if it's not council land.
If she's leaving them on your land I would steal them. At least hide them for a bit so she gets really cross.

I wouldn’t waste your time trying to complain to the council. Honestly, what do you think anyone there can do.

Either take them back and put them right outside her front door. Literally touching the door and if questioned say, you’re just returning them as they keep wandering off on to your property.

or just inconvenience her, push them out on to the path or road, preferably further away from her house. She’ll eventually get fed up of it.

do it every single time.

For heavens sake, just talk to her!

I'd wheel them back to the edge of her property. Does she have a car & driveway? Then place them so that she has to get out and move them.

If not, make sure it’s what she sees when looking out of the window...
If that doesn't help, as others suggested, thake the bins for a walk up the road... I assume she's labelled them, so it will be obvious who they belong to. If you have a neighood WhatsApp group, you could innocently post a picture of them in the middle of the road...
