yesterday when coming back from the shop, I noticed my already full wheelie bin lid was up and there was a red bag in there.

I knew it wasn't mine and that none of mine had put it in there so I picked it out and took it in, it contains...

an old lung ( for those of you who don't know this is a contraption made out of a plastic bottle for smokng cannabis)
Many empty pill packets
Many (packaged) syringes
Many empty sealy bags
A snapped in half bank card belonging to someone who frequents next door neighbours house
and a NEEDLE! packaged, but still!

Next door neighbour is a dealer, and has been raided quite recently - I'm guessing this is why he's chosen to put his filth in my bin, just in case?

Yesterday I was raging, if I had have seen him, I would definitely have said something. But now I'm not so raging, calmed down a bit and starting to feel like chickening out of sayig anything.

I've just come out of a period of nasty metal health problems, do I really want to invite trouble onto myself now, when I'm feeling good?

My sister told me to hand it in to police, but that is definitely not an option - I have to live here and they don't play nice.

Do I just leave the bag in my bin and not say anything? take it out and put it back in his bin, again without saying anything, or do I stand up for myself and screw the consequences?

Good for you qo that he took the bag. Because if you handn't said anything the same thing might happen again and again. And could the police not have sent round plain clothes people if you were scared of your neighbours finding out you had called them. It is terrible that people should have to live in fear through no fault of their own. I am never happy when people say they are too scared to call the police. That is not a good place to be.
