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 .

think of the poor binmen.

I do think just going round to the neighbours and saying "hi. You've put your bin on my land. Please can you come and remove it now?" Would be the best option.

You get my Top Poster of the Day award for your lovely diagram [trophy] -

I'd Sellotape a polite notice on rah of the bins or drop a polite note in your neighbours letterboxes.

Alternatively, could you put some rocks around your bit of land in lieu of a fence or put up a very cheap bit of plastic netting like in the photo but smaller.

Big sign 'fuck off my land' then kick the bins over in the road....would be my first thought.
My second more reasonable thought would be to erect some cheap fencing to mark out my boundary.

So, obviously the OP is going to talk to her neighbours, or hand out friendly printed notes, saying how this is private land, and she doesn't want all the bins dumped there. But - once the cat killing, curtain twitching, selfish beatches neighbours ignore those polite requests, we need to have some ideas for how to resolve the conflict.

There are two main strategies required 1. Prevention. 2. Revenge.
Penguin bollards and chain would be a MN approved form of prevention.
Now, ideas for revenge ...

Is there a gate at the front? Can you put a lock/chain on it?

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

Missed that bit. Not OK.

I heard once (not sure if UK) that the best way to get council out promptly to fix pot holes was to paint a fluorescent penis next to them . Apparently any property owner (in this case council) is responsible for ensuring that no obscene symbology is visible to general public.

Am quietly pondering what would happen if you drew a large penis on each rogue bin, using something from your -clearly extensive- stationery collection.

Optional extra: express deep shock at their lewd behaviour and suggest they remove said graffiti before anyone reports them to cops

I would just move all the bins back off my land as soon as you notice they've been put there, leave them in the middle of the road and stick a private property sign on your land. IME people only take the piss with stuff like this if you take the path of least resistance and let them make you feel too awkward to pull them up about it, same concept as bullying, the second you stand up to them they stop.

you could take them round to where you keep your own bins & say all innocent-like, "I thought they were for me as they're on my effing property "

I would be delighted if someone left some bins on my land. My loft is in serious need of a clearout, and I have a huge pile of rubble and wood in the garden that DH hasn't got around to taking to the tip yet.

I'd be filling those bins with gay abandon. THEN shifting them off my property.

Pff. Next time the bums are on your land. put rubbish in the bums!

They'll soon stop putting it on your land!

BINS!!! I meant BINS!!!

I'd be wanting to write a clear note which states that committing trespass and fly tipping makes someone a criminal, and that clearly brings down the tone of the neighbourhood.

I'm actually ridiculously angry about this on your behalf - how fucking arrogant and bitchy of people to act like this, as if you're somehow not good enough!

YANBU - that would drive me mad. You definitely need to have words.

Awsome response Crazycatlady do you play WoW by any chance? I have a character's who's title (not name) is The Crazy Cat Lady

This is EPIC! I would do the same as Liney. After seething for weeks and endless complaining to DP I would have a major 'Falling Down' moment and hurl those bins down the road.

Alpaca I thought you meant "burn them" like burn the cunty neighbours! Like in League of Gentleman

Anyway, it does make things tricky that it's not the bin owners who are moving the bins, but third cunty parties. What is wrong with these people?

I quite like the idea of just having them all magically disappear, either into your garage or back to the council, or just off up another road? Then what will they do?

Oh I just had another thought....fill them with sand or mud or hardcore. Do you know any builders OP?

Obviously move them just off your property before you do so. Then you can report them to the council as abandoned bins/waste/fly tipping?

HappyPooBum - that would be a teensy bit extreme. We save that for people who kill cats with poison... oh wait..

Do it... Do it Wicker Man stylee...

Personally, I'd just leave them all with notes on saying that any further bins left on your property will be reported to the council. People like this would be horror-struck to have the council telling them off.

Tell us more about when your poor cat was killed. How did murdering neighbour react?

Full marks for the diagram. Can clearly picture the scene and the rogue bins.

Can you not drive into your garage then?
