To dump rubbish in their garden

[DizzyZebra]

I am fed up.

Where i live, all the rubbish bins go out at the end of they alleyway behind the houses. There is no where else to leave them, the bin lorry will not drive down our road so leaving it outside our own house is not an option. Despite the fact that that would make far more sense given their route. There are no front gardens but tbh id happily walk the biround the long way to avoid this problem.

Anyway, every time we put our bin out , it gets emptied, and one of the neighbours fills it straight up, leaving us with no bin.

The bin collection times are unpredictable, otherwise id just go and make sure i was there to bring it straight in.

The first time i thought it was a one off but clearly not, and im fucked off. I am led to belueve the council will not help. But i dont know what to do. I have a mountain of rubbish bags building up on my back yard. Im terrified we will get rats or something. I dont have a car or anyone to move it for me. The council did say i could buy another bin but whats the point when theyll just fill that one up too? (i dont think we are the only ones or that it is specifically targetted at us).

WIBU to find out which neighbour it is and dump it on their garden?

Ok. Maybe a bit much. But any advice welcomed anyway. Im at the end of my tether with it. I feel like a tramp and cant wait to be able to move.

Do you know which neighbour is doing this or do you suspect a few are at it? Personally, I'd pull on some gloves and see if I can find some post to identify the nuisance and then deliver all his crap directly to his front door.

I agree. Dig through and if you can identify the house, return the rubbish.

Long term, can you get together with all the neighbours to petition the council to change the route?

I dont know if its one or a few. It got worse when the sodding bin men didnt turn up for over a month at all too. Before that we would find random things in the bin like quilt covers and bricks when we brought it in after collection, which werent too much of a problem although annoying, but since then its literally full up befire we even get to it.

I like the post idea.

I dont really know the neighbours but i will ask the council about it myself. Its getting ridiculous. My yard is small and half of it is filled with rubbish.

OH says he is going to double bag it tomorrow and just fill random bins with it but i dint want to inflict this sort of nuisance on people whove done nothing wrong so im not going to let him do that.

Its just disgusting and i resent having to live in these conditions. Its getting to the point where i darent use anything disposable because it has to add to the ever growing rubbish pile.

Fuck knows what my landlord would say im so worried id get evicted if he saw it.

Take it out of the bin and leave it on the floor?

Is your bin labelled with your house number?

Stick a note on the inside of the bin lid

stop filling my bin with your rubbish you selfish arsehole

Or get a lock for the bin and ask the binmen to click it shut after theyve emptied the bin

Or get in there one day and ehen the bin lid is opened- scream
that last one was just to make you laugh

Yeah it is reluctant.

I thoughtbabout writing "use your own fucking bin" on it but i dont kniw if id get inti trouble.

Methe OH said that but im worried we would get in trouble for it even though its not our rubbish.

If do what methe suggests, empty it there, bring your bin back in, fill with your rubbish.

Tip it up and take your bin back.
Cheeky bastard!

Empty it before you bring it back. Let the council deal with it.

If you tip the bin up, you could then report it to the council as fly tipping.
They will sift through it to try and identify (and charge) the originator.

Double whammy

Contact your local community police officers, they are there to deal with things like this. They might be able to patrol at the time of bin collections or even knock on the neighbours' door and have a chat.
The council might be able to arrange a special collection of the bags you have.
Of course, a lot if this depends on where you are but most city councils would be able to do something I reckon. Phone their general switchboard number and they should be able to put you through to the right place.

PMSL HEC i think they already think im nuts. The people next door were looking through my window when they came to view their house (both had to let signs as we hadnt taken ours off yet) and i saw her so i sat there with a sinister smile on and she jumped out her skin when she noticed.

Also the people across the street,Methe very responsibly let their three year olds play out on their own (they go all over the estate) and i worry about them enough. Id feel guilty if they hurt themselves because id dumped the rubbish in the street. Not sure if they can get down the alleyway. Im convinced one of them is going to get killed one day.

Kaf that is fucking genius.

Does it count if its in an alkeyway you kniw the sealed off ones? Id feel less worried aboyt the unsupervised three year olds then.

Straining i have never heard of those but also genius.

Is there anything MN cant solve???

Not a damned thing.

It just totally pisses me off.

I do understand that the bin men not turning up for over a month put a strain on everyone, but they obviously dont want rubbish in their garden so why inflict it on someone else? Id have happily gone halves/everyone chipped in for a skip or something. I wish id approached everyone to ask but at the time it started i was in so much pain with SPD and just walking downstairs in a morning knackered me up.

Loving the idea of a wheelie bin lock. We have a couple of women who like to route through our bins and take whatever they please. Pisses me right off, especially as they leave what they don't want lying on the ground next to the bin, cheeky feckers.

wow!

The gravity bin lock at work ^^^ amazing!

Randy, what do they take?

Well, I caught them routing through a neighbours bin, she had disposed of some clothes. They selected what they wanted then threw the others on the ground next to the bin. They walked off leaving crap on the floor. Other neighbours have seen them take things from the bins and sometimes walk around the back of the house to take random things lying around in the gardens.

Scumbags.
