To think my neighbours shouldn't fill up my bin with their garbage?

So we have been cutting down branches etc and this morning I went to put them in our bin (which we had put out on the kerb awaiting collection) and the neighbours had filled it up with all their junk!

So I put all their junk back in their bin, and their bin is now overflowing. And my bin is nice and full with my rubbish.

They will be home soon and they won't be happy at all.

AIBU?

Are you sure it belonged to them?

If so, you are not being unreasonable at all.

at my sisters the bins are weighted by the bin lorry and the bill for that is per kilo. can you imagine those bin wats there?

If you've got too much rubbish to fit in your bin, then politely ask your neigh our. If you're regularly needing to do this, then either take steps to reduce your rubbish, or pay for an extra bin.

This is what decent people do

I am sure it belonged to them. The bag was not tied up so the garbage was partially loose through my bin and included old medicine with name labels.

Nope - you were not being unreasonable. I have a lot of bin-related irritation though. We have separate bins for recycling, garden and kitchen bio waste, paper and other rubbish. These are all lined up outside our innercity terrace house looking really ugly. And our neighbour on one side, only has paper and other waste bins and uses our Bio and Recycling without even asking (I'm getting padlocks) and the other sodding neighbour lines up his bins right to the side of his house so they are a hairsbreadth from in front of my house, well away from his front door but really close to mine. I often have to resist the urge to kick them back.

I often put non recyclable rubbish in my neighbour's bin. They are never around on bin day so I put their bins out for them. As I'm anal conscientious about recycling I don't normally have much to put in it. And as they're not here all the time they don't have much to put in it either.

So usually one bin nearly full of non recyclables gets taken away every couple of months rather than two bins with almost nothing in them every fortnight.

Don't feel guilty about it at all Smile But I'm not a pisstaker.

How do you know it's the neighbour's rubbish? Note RUBBISH. Not garbage...unless you're in the USA?

I don't have a garden waste bin. But my neighbour does. So when it goes out for collection I have a look and, if there is room, I throw mine in.

He did offer, so I don't feel guilty. But would feel very, very naughty if I was just sneaking it in!

So, no, NU at all. I hope they were truly pissed off! Serves them right!

Yanbu.

We have a similar problem with skips round here. If you don't fill it within minutes of it arriving everyone else starts to chuck there rubbish in. Winds me up a treat! I have no problem if once I've filled it up with our crap anyone else wants to throw something in if there is room but at least let me chuck my crap in first.

Bloody rude!

MrsItsNoworNotatAll · 10/06/2014 16:41

Their not there.

I would have done the same, I really hate it when people dump crap in my bins, we used to live above a shop and the owners son used to put his Mac Donalds crap in our bin, cheeky shit only lived round the corner.
