Sod a parking dispute - I bring you a fucking wheelie bin dispute.....

[Babyiwantabump]

Absolutely fucking livid . Probably disproportionately so as I am hormonal but I don't care .

Background description :
House then back garden then garage then fenced area then entryway . All my boundary up to where my back fence meets the entryway. I am end terraced so entry runs down left hand side of garden and house too.

Have lived here many years . Not close with any neighbors . One on the left killed my cat other across the entry is pleasant . Say good morning and exchange pleasantries but no more than that .

Have been finding bins on my bit of land behind my house for a while - thought it may have been a mistake that neighbors might have thought it was my bin and put it there all nice as you do.

Today I have just watched several of my neighbors take the bins of people who are out at work or not in off the street and put them on my land! Like the area behind my garage is a fucking neighborhood bin store ! It's not !

It's my fucking land and AIBU to tell them to get the fuck to fucking fuck and fuck off some more!!!

And breathe .

Can't believe I've missed all this!

It's quite clear that someone's taking the piss. Therefore, every single time they do it in future, put the bins in your garage and lock the door. When they come to your door to sheepishly ask for them back, take your time and remind them that every time you find them on your land, they will be locked in your garage and released if and when you feel like it. They will have to bring pressure to bear on whichever neighbour/s it is who's arsing about here.

What they said, lock them in the garage.

Deny any knowledge when asked.

Or do what your nan suggested, I had a read of the thread.

Set them up against each other, do you remember the number of the third bin that's gone missing? That's who's door I'd be knocking on because they've 100% done it at least. Keep hold of the remaining two bins but be nice to the owners bc it's not their fault (unless they ask neighbours to do it but you can't know that yet) and when they come to get them say "sorry someone is pranking me with these bins every week throughout the day and using my land, can you make sure noone touches your bin or I'll have to keep hold of it every time, I'm sure you understand"

If they have nothing to do with it they'll be shocked and help out And hopefully rage at the culprits with you for the inconvenience

Or put a note on top of every bin (keep a note of which numbers you've popped it on) saying "the council have agreed to collect every single bin abandoned on this land. If this bin is ever abandoned here again you will be charged full price by the council for a replacement" if they try to call your bluff the next week lock them in the garage and feign innocence let them mug themselves off with the council and blame the culprits

Oh the cheeky feckers!! Superglue OP...NOW!

Can't believe they were moved back

Sorry for the slight derail, OP, but ohfourfoxache I adore your nickname!

I am going to make a sign!!

I love you.

Aw, thanks Annie

So . . . the plot thickens . . .

Is there any other garden you could move the bins into? Or could you drag them outside catkiller's someone's house? Just leave them outside on the street? I know you shouldn't have to, but it will let people know that you mean business.

Or you could print off a flyer and put a copy through every door in the street informing people that it is private land and warning that actin will be taken if bins are left there.

Or you could taketh bins which have numbers on, while they are full, and empty them on the doorstep of the houses they belong to. Maybe the bin owner put it on your land, maybe not, but as you say they are aware of it. They are wankers. Outwank them.

*action, not actin

(Effing autocorrect)

Think I'd post a letter through every door in the street along the lines of 'keep your bins off my property'. Done politely I'm sure that'll sort it in the most part. If you do get the one arse who carries on, then I'd definitely be locking the bin in the garage and denying all knowledge.

Put the remaining bins back on the street but chain them together and leave a note asking the owners to come to you for the key.

Unbelievable that the bins were put back. I'd have seen red then and kicked the bins into the street like a wild banshee and growled at any curtain twitchers hopefully this would.be enough to warn them off!

Can you post photo of sign when complete OP? Looking forward to next Fridays installment of #BinWars

Lol to #bingatedrama
If I may make a suggestion..
Please buy cheap £2 small Hebe plants and plant at intervals at edge of your land where gap in fence is. Also make it look like there are other plants in middle of the patch (lolipop sticks with plant names on it?). Laminate a sign and put up saying Private Property- please keep off.
Then next Friday is stake out time! Forget play dates, have you mummy friends to recruit/ help out? Bingate&Biscuits day!! This is what camera phones are super for.. From window or even send friend out into alleyway (but not to talk to them, quick photo & back in!)

Cos if your neighbours ignore both & drag anything onto your patch of land, they're caused criminal damage to your property (plants), a 101 crime to report to police..

I wonder how much curtain twitching will go on when police visit the offending neighbour (as you've taken photos before after and of the Perp).

Keep us updated next Friday! :)

Salvatore brothers on demand or Bin Thread on MN ..? 🤔

you need a sign that says "this is private land the owners accept no responsiblity for damage to bins left here. "

have you anything to fashion a barrier with? bits of the old fence?

definitely use disposables. one packet should do it. aldi ones are quite cheap. chuck in bin. claim that you could not see which bin was which in the dark.

Clearly if they've been left on your land, they belong to you and therefore be spray painted with your house number which of course will take up most of the bin front and maybe one of those marvellous bin stickers to jazz that brown plastic style up

If you knew who was doing it, you could go and put the bins in their back garden. See how they like it.

Did the owners of the other two bins come to collect them?
