We pay a company to clean our bins once a month on bin day. I’m not usually home when they come, but I’m off work today And happened to be in the kitchen. I watched my next door neighbour wait until the cleaner left, take the house number sticker off my bin and put it on his, then swap our bin for his so he had the cleaned bin and I had a non-cleaned one.

He was back in his house before I had time to contain the dog and go outside but now DH is home, WIBU to go round and ask for my bin back??

Can’t wait for an update!

OMG do you think bin stealers wife didn't know what her utter cf of a husband has been up to?
Is this going to get dramatic?
Glad I've got a gin poured and ready OP!

@DobbyTheHouseElk

I had a bin cleaner man. Cleaned it once and never saw him again. Asked him for a regular clean. He’s always advertising on FB so I don’t know why.

Used to have a bin cleaner years ago and the bin came back smelling lovely and clean and warm. This recent chap used cold water.

Shameless placemark really...

Intrigued to know why you like your bin to be warm? Do you cuddle it or sleep in it?

Oh my God, I can't wait to hear his "excuse"!!!

AramintaLee · 28/06/2021 20:46

I've had someone do this - not the level of CF to remove the number on my bin - but to just shamelessly steal mine after it's been cleaned. The number is faded, but I once found it 6 doors up.

The bin cleaning company now make a point of popping it back in my garden now so it doesn't get nicked.

Honestly the cheek of some people.

March over, change the stickers, and tell him why.

chickenyhead · 28/06/2021 20:45

I am so shocked at this level of CFERRY

CupOfTPlease · 28/06/2021 20:45

What's taking 20 minutes?! Grab the bin, clip their ankles with it and have a very smug face whilst walking your bin home Grin.

We have our general waste bin cleaned every 2 weeks. They get gross and smelly!

BingBongToTheMoon · 28/06/2021 20:45

Cheeky swine!

@MangosteenSoda

This is grade A+++ CF’ery. I’m a bit impressed Grin

You could probably get a sad face story in your local free paper out of this if you want to bring the big guns on the cheeky councillor.

Omg PLEASE do this.

Tell your story on the local town page and you'll have a reporter messaging you pretty quickly.

Or better yet, wait a month. Let him do it again but catch him on camera because if this guy is in politics, he'll be an seasoned fibber and will deny deny deny.

What a f***g liberty!

otterbaby · 28/06/2021 20:45

You need to go out there and tell them that you witnessed it!

QueenBee52 · 28/06/2021 20:45

the cheeky fuckers 😱

I hope your DH is reading him the riot act !?

the Cleaning Company can also verify which bin they cleaned.. THE CLEAN ONE 🤣

cocoloco987 · 28/06/2021 20:44

We started having it cleaned when I was Pregnant because any bin smell made me heave. You’d be surprised how gross they get!

Ah but now your not pregnant that smell is probably undetectable. Bet he's been doing it for ages OP

ThinWomansBrain · 28/06/2021 20:43

@JackieWeaversAuthorityHere

I’ve had a look. DH and bin stealer plus bin stealers wife are standing by the bins. Bin is open. DH has his teacher face on (he’s a secondary school teacher). Can’t see bin stealers face but bin stealers wife’s eyebrows are so far up her forehead they’re going to take off in a minute.
Is dh recording it for social media?
viques · 28/06/2021 20:43

Oh god, I have the most awful feeling that the OP will get her bin back - but with her OH inside it.........

@MattHancocksSexTape

How does a bin get dirty? Everything’s in bin bags!
In my local area there are no bin bags allowed in the wheelie bins - it all has to be loose and anything in a bin bag will not be taken and your bin will be red tagged (counts towards a fine).
MrsMackesy · 28/06/2021 20:42

A Tory councillor, you say? Now I believe it. Could he be inserted into the dirty wheelie bin and let go at the top of a hill?
