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 you hold them hostage in the garage? (the bins not the neighbours)

I'm with PovertyPain on this one.... chain link the opening with the bins inside.... watch through window and laugh...

I read this as though the bin owners are innocent victims of bin theft and a couple of the other neighbour's are just randomly moving the (stolen) bins to the OP's land.

Replacing the fence is expensive but I agree with other about putting a chain across.

So the people who are out at work come home to find their bins neatly tucked away on your private land, and have to g and retrieve them? This must piss them off as well as intrude on your land.

I assume that this is just because the neighbours who are home want the street to look pretty. Have they been watching too much Hot Fuzz?

Are you able to put a physical block across your 'entryway'? (Said the vicar)

Even a bit of string and a handwritten sign saying 'private land - trespassers will be prosecuted' might do it.

I can't believe there's a group of them! Did they have a little coffee morning to discuss the Great Bin Controversy and come up with a solution?

Thanks to all that have complemented my diagram preens self .

I've been here 11 years and the fence has been broken for about 3-4 months . They know it's my land .

They are bringing in the bins for people that aren't home to do later - why don't they leave them in the street? Or the respective front gardens?

Don't want to waste maternity leave money replacing fence.

Well the thing is I used to use that space for my bins until the fence got damaged .
Then one of the neighbors made a comment about it bringing down the tone of the street . Because you could see my bins .
So that's why I started putting them in the back garden until it's fixed .

crazycat you are amazing!

Got any rubble? Put it in the bins that aren't yours. That'll stop it, I should think.

Surely this is an invitation to randomly redistribute them around the neighbourhood !
or
You need to draw little sad faces on paper and stick them to the bins with a variety of messages underneath.
eg:

My owner doesn’t want to take me home anymore
please adopt me

Why don't they put the neighbour's bins back where the neighbours keep them?

"Then one of the neighbors made a comment about it bringing down the tone of the street "

Your mistake was taking notice of this.

Presumably said neighbour has nothing to do with parking everyone elses bins there?

Can you gather together a possey of the people who work, visit the neighbours moving the bins, and have Great Bin Standoff?

I don't suppose you own a shotgun? You could be conveniently 'cleaning' it out the back of the garage next week. An axe would do if you don't have firearms.

Or can you borrow a goose and let it wander around there?

Or a chain with a sign. And ffs, leave your bins where it suits YOU. They're happy to steal other people's bins and trespass just to preserve the 'tone' of the nighbourhood. You're part of the neighbourhood, you get to set the tone just as much as anyone else. Your bins have rights too, y'know.

btw - if you're heavily pregnant and highly hormonal, going hormonally shit on their arses would be a great stress reliever.

OOO! Pregnant... that means you'll soon have a baby? Or do you already have one? Because - NAPPIES! In their bins.

So the way they're left there is only on bin day and not all week? And it's not the actual owners putting them there, is one neighbour who doesn't like to see them on the street? I thought it was everyone leaving them there all week inbetween bin rounds. If I'm right you need to work out which neighbour(s) are putting other people's there and move them to those people's garden's. Better still, if you're brave, tell them. Tell them you don't like being an unofficial bin store, particularly as nobody was polite enough to even ask, and if they don't like seeing the bins on the street to put them on their own land til people collect. It's not fair to fill the bins up with crap (which I originally thought was a good idea) if the people that own the bins aren't the one putting them there..

Malcolm, they are not council property which is why you must buy one when yours gets stolen

The only things that missing from that diagram is which neighbour liked the cat.

Otherwise exemplary.

Can you blow up copies of diagram and glue to bins?

killed the cat!

I was looking for cheap temporary fencing recently and found this on eBay for £30. Can't copy the photo, but it comes in a roll and should be flexible enough and should be easy to fix each end and would send a clear message!

I didn't need to buy it in the end because new neighbours sorted out the problem. I'd be livid too - I always feel vulnerable about any boundary abuse!

I feel ever so slightly disappointed after the update about the bins only being left there for just a short while until the owners get home.The drama's all been ruined now.

Extra credit for the diagram. I also second a note on the bins then get a temp fence up.

Big sign out front "FOR SALE BINS FOUND DUMPED ON MY PROPERTY"

Another idea but it also costs money, unless you have the aforementioned rubble lying around - cover your piece of land in deep gravel or rubble - it's almost impossible to roll a wheely bin on that stuff.

Make some fake wheel clamps and clamp all the bins, and put a notice up on your land like its a car park.

Put them on Freecycle.

"no need to get in touch, just come and collect on Friday from 1 Smith Street."

if there's a bin row brewing, get some white gloss paint (oil based, non-drip is best) and put your house number in 1-foot letters on the front, back, aides and lid of your bin, and on the inside of the lid so it shows when the lid is left open. Do this before the row erupts.

Then mesh or chainlink fencing across the gap, three or four feet high. If the neighbours can reach them, you'll probably have to screw in vine-eyes and use at least one padlock, top of each end. If you were free of interference, screw-hooks would do, about three each end.

Not plastic mesh as it can easily be cut.

Wouldn't it be best to talk to the owners of the bins & get them to tell the busybody neighbours to either leave their bins in the street or put them where they are usually kept?
