To have put my rubbish in the neighbours bin

There was me thinking I was going to agree, and it's about the wrong rubbish causing you bin not to be taken which is bad either two week deliveries.

Instead it's about a family, and them interrupting the enjoyment of your bin sniffing activities . . . . .

It really depends on how your house is positioned- i live on an inward corner and many people walking past use my bin, I am not very fond of this because it sometimes means there is no room in the bin for my rubbish- the binmen here will not take bags on the top or by the side of the bin here.
I can therefore understand neighbours not being thrilled- bear in mind there is a proposal out there to chip bins and charge you for the weight, so best not to get used to using other people's bins.

Aren't people just unnecessarily nasty?! I couldn't care less if someone filled my bin with their rubbish if it was half empty. Who cares? It gets emptied in any case. No skin off my nose at all....and if I can help someone out without having to actually lift a finger, even better lol

Depends what the "rubbish" is. At our previous place, one of the neighbouring families seemed to generate prodigious amounts of rubbish, so on bin day they would be checking the neighbours' bins and stuffing them with their "overspill". I drew the line at the stinky nappies etc which made our bins stink and returned them to their rightful owner.

They didn't do it again.

our council doesn’t allow this

Order a bigger bin

I’ve had neighbours do it and to be honest I’ve become annoyed because my bin has not been emptied due to it being mixed rubbish. So if the bin men check it can be a nightmare. Not an agreement I had with my neighbour. I had to pay for it to be emptied at a cost of 20:00 plus by the council. Also I’ve had council put rubbish in my recycling bin(the irony of not mixing rubbish and their own staff do it)

I'm also confused by the woman who was fined for pouring the remnants of a coffee cup down a drain, as it was "personal". Very confused how that is a problem, doesn't my sink lead to the same place?

Well that’s in the OP!

If about to be emptied in 15 minutes no problem then.

🤣🤣🤣 an empty house when the half empty bin is
being collected in 15 mins?

They’re not charged by weight so what’s the problem? What’s dreadfully rude about it?

Appalled that you are even asking if is this is OK. Dreadfully rude and unneighbourly behaviour.

It really depends . I moved into my new house in November however it took me a few months beforehand to do the house up before i moved in , that meant there was a lot of rubbish plus the previous tenants left loads of garbage behind that I had to get rid of . The problem was my next door neighbour kept putting their rubbish ( including dirty nappies not bagged up properly) into my bin , they also used my other 2 bins 2 . This meant that I couldn’t fit non recyclable stuff into my bins on a number of occasions. When I politely asked them not to do it I got a mouthful of abuse . I lost the rag after this & the next day I ended up emptying my bin at their front door & locked it inside the house .

I think it's ok. Our binmen actually said ours was too full and put it in the neighbours bin. they also allow us to add a black bag next to it and they will take it.

I always have space in my bin as we recycle most of our packaging and have told the neighbours they can put their excess in our bin should the need arise. I have asked another neighbour if I can put my garden waste into their garden bin if I have already filled mine and they have done the same.
You could have asked had you been quick enough to catch the person putting the bin out.
Don't be afraid to tell a neighbour with excess rubbish to pop it in your bin or ask if you can use theirs.

Fly tipping? Not really.

Next door but 1 to me is an abandoned house. It’s owned but the owner tried to flog it briefly last year .. it has a hole going from the bathroom ceiling to the basement.. can’t imagine why it was t snapped up at a mere £250k (terraced opens onto street in a nice village but that’s like top whack for a house like his here, not one with a sunroof) he got mad and set fire to his wheely bin and it half melted. Then he got arrested for being a massive drug dealer and he’s been remanded in custody he also tried to bite off one of his brothers ears the night before and his brother reported him to police so he’s going away for a long time. Police also found hundreds of thousands of £££ of heroin in his house as we saw them taking it all out. His neighbour told the council about the bin and they dropped off 2 brand new massive bins and left the melted one. So we all put our bins in his back garden and just have communal bins now. It’s great!!

Nasty people, it would not have cost them anything. Don't do them any favours such as taking parcels in.

I do it all the time with neighbours who are using their bins. I wouldn’t put anything in randomly during the week. But once the bins are out the night before, if I’ve got extra rubbish I have put it in other bins.

Who cares I would do same not hurting nobody. Only them moaning arse hole neighbours who think there bees knees would have a problem with it . the bins empty, better than fly tipping your rubbish in public places it’s gone same hour you’ve put it in there anyway . tell your husband to go take the rubbish all the way to the tip then and get off his arse if he’s got a problem with it 😂 find this post funny because it’s something I would do myself

Is your DH normally such an anal retentive killjoy?

If I had found a way to get rid of some bin bags that didn't hurt anyone, my husband would caper with joy.

Can you do a deal with a neighbour who is single or childfree so does not use all the space in their bin? Offer to put out and return their bin for them as a quid prp quo.

I don't think it's a problem. I wouldn't mind if someone put their rubbish in my bin when it was out for collection. If my bin isn't full the bin men fill it with bags from other bins so they're only putting one bin on the lorry anyway. I pay for a garden bin and my neighbour asks every year if he can put his grass cuttings in it. No problem. He probably uses it more than me, which is a bit embarrassing.

I'd rather rubbish was in my bin than dumped on the street.

It was cheeky. And if the bin men had seen you they would have made you take rubbish bag out because it was not your bin.
However, no-one is perfect.

Oh thats nothing....we have newish neighbours, 4 houses along, young couple who seem to have lots of money and also an ocd cleaning issue...replaced brand new kitchen within days of moving in...never use it...have a cleaner and the 2 mums visit daily to clean an already clean kitchen and house...all food is delivered, never cook as my neighbour can see into the kitchen etc...anyway..they had a baby last year and he would put the soiled nappies unwrapped in our bins....I was sitting in my car late one night and saw him pop nappies into several neighbours bins....their own bins empty...I collected nappies with gloves and dumped them on their doorstep...end of nappy issue !!
