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 .

The people who the bins belong to seem to know that they are being left there to be collected as a couple have been collected already today (it is bin day)

Most of the people on the street are old interfering and retired so all curtain twitch and run out while the bin men are still there and collect their bins immediately . God forbid if you don't get your in as soon as possible .

You are shunned!

Neighbour that killed cat is the one on the left .

Use the bins to fence off your land! Get chain (or several chains to be sure) & thread through the handles and position around the perimeter. Fasten ends of chains to walls so cannot be removed easily. Hang bells or chimes so any movement alerts you. Job done 😎 Set up video recording. Grab cool drink & retire to comfy seat. 😄

I'm confused, whose bins are they? Why are they moved there at all, to stop them getting blown in the road?

"The people who the bins belong to seem to know that they are being left there to be collected as a couple have been collected already today (it is bin day)"

It should be obvious that you don't want them there, but some people will carry on until they are told otherwise!

Ooh better still get some mesh fencing & do as above, threading chains through the fencing and bin handles. Make sure bins are on inside of fencing. Won't need to fix mesh as chains will hold it together. & is temp anyway. 😃

Or. you know, you could just put your bins back on that piece of land, but arranged so they block the gate area...

Did you see exactly who it was who moved said bins? Go and have a word.

Or wait for them to leave their house and sneak their bin into your garage... they'll probably take someone elses and then get in a bin war with another neighbour, right? These things happen I'm sure

How would I make mini wheel clamps ?

Diagram is very funny, you've cheered me up

I was toying with all these ideas at first but now I think you should definitely just fill it with your own rubbish preferably unbagged (although you might get it back over the fence depending on the neighbour). They would probably stop. Otherwise I would consider ringing the council to get them collected.

just wanted to comment and say the diagram has been the best thing I've seen on MN since I joined. and for your efforts.

That was an awesome diagram, I wish more people would do them - it makes things so much easier to understand.

As pigletjohn suggested make sure your bins are clearly, unambiguously and permanently labelled.

I would bring your neighbours bins fully onto your property and save up some rubbish to fill them with - fill their bins before your own.

I like Meeps idea! Bins LOVE a day at the beach. They often refuse to come home and insist on staying to play in the waves. Something they go to France. (Bins often speak fluent Franglais, and are quite happy Sur Le Continong. It is not cruel. It is giving them the freedom they deserve.)

Goodbye, little bins! Run Free!

summerskittles It is the second-best thing I've seen. Passers-by doing synchronised cat's bum faces definitely had the edge . . .

I have to agree - Good though this diagram is, honeydragon's has the edge.

baby . . . bump

Mmmmmmmmmmmm! "Lowering the tone", eh? I think I see a spontaneous bin fire coming on . . .

Lowering the tone?
Challenge accepted!
I wouldn't be able to resist.

I like the idea of a chain. Get a chain and chain off the opening. Put padlock on said chain so it cannot be moved lifted up etc.

Please can you draw the diagram again but including you as a livid stick figure clutching the poor cat?

In a hormonal rage I'd be tempted to take an axe to the bins, they are abandoned on your land, smash them up

Or as a pp said superglue all the lids down. I'd also tell busy body neighbour to pack it in.

Oooooooh - quite like Leonard's idea of selling them . . .

And Piglet's is even better . . .

And Leonardo's better again . . .

After all - these bins have been abandoned on your and - obviously you can do what the hell you like with them - the is fly-tipping, after all.

"land" not "and" bastarding autocorrect

This would take planing, but you could erect fencing, even if it's just wire or rope with private land, keep put hung on it, smash up bins inside fenced area, then leave sign on bins stating "blame busy body at No3"

Oh I'm out at the moment so don't have access to all of my highlighters so I'm afraid a second improved diagram may have to wait until later.

But it's several neighbors doing it - it's like they've all ganged up on me and decided I am the bin storage facility for the area - I watched three people all taking two bins down the entry and dropping one off on the way!
