To ask my neighbour to not put her bin out at 11pm

[brexitstolemyfuture]

Because it's noisey as fuck and wakes me up. She gets home normal evening time so plenty of time to do it beforehand

I have one who slams beer bottles into his glass recycling bin at 6 in the morning
My NDN throw bottles into their glass recycling box all night, every night.

I will just be getting to sleep when I hear them throw one from the back door to the glass recycling box, sometimes they miss.

Just as I am getting to sleep again, they do it again.

Our neighbour bumps their bin up their front steps at about 5am every Wednesday. Wakes me and our daughter up every time. Why don't people realise that it's not a good idea to do it at that time, just do it the night before. The bin men don't come til past 9am.

I think you need to recognise this a favour you are asking and couch it in those terms. You also need to not make her feel bad if she forgets once in a while.

And you also need for her to be prepared to mention that you do DIY too early on Sundays or park annoyingly or she can hear your tv or something.

I am always flabbergasted by these people who think it's acceptable to be antisocial

It isn't antisocial to put the bins out once a week at 11pm!

......Unless they're made of galvanised steel, I suppose. Mine are made of plastic and make less noise than a car being driven past the house or car doors slamming. We tend to put ours out early, but it doesn't annoy me if I hear other people's bins trundling around later. In any case, I think the watershed for noise nuisance at night is 11pm!

If it were waking me I'd be as upset too. I think you should have a word and tell her. X

Yabu. Ear plugs! I used to live next door to drug dealers - even they didnt bother me once the ear plugs were in.
I would definitely move my bin at 11pm or later if I'd been out.

I think any unnecessary noise disturbing the neighbours is antisocial. It's just common sense.

If you don't come home until 10pm, then you have no choice. Why would you want to wake up the neighbourhood at 11pm when you've been home for hours?

It's ridiculous, some posters here are happy to hoover at 6am, because they are up so everybody else should be, otherwise it's luxury, others are fine making a racket at 11pm. What is wrong with allowing your neighbours to live in peace?
I am so grateful mine are civilised.

What is wrong with allowing your neighbours to live in peace?

Nothing, but it's once a week for a matter of minutes, not regular all night house parties. Now, that would be antisocial!

We do this as we forget to do it earlier.
I've even been known to come in at 8pm after work, walk past neighbours bins and not register it's bin night.

There are 3 of us who live here permanently and one in holidays, we are all as bad as one another.
The bin usually gets remembered at 11pm or even later. We'd do our best to remember earlier if a neighbour asked, but old habits die hard, so couldn't promise.

OP, butt out of her life. Get earplugs.

YABU

she will do it then as it's when she remembers I'd imagine. You'll probably just cause some weird neighbourly tension between you both.

Op I have so much sympathy for noisey neighbour threads - I fought a two year campaign agaisnt neighbours who had endless parties any night of the week, blocked my drive constantly, smoked in large groups on a rolling basis by our windows, left rubbish out so we got rats, rubbish in general, dope smoking, drugs busts....

But on this occasion be thankful this is all she does and Let the bin noise go.

Can you offer to do it for her when you do yours? I've no idea whether that's possible. I often put ours out last thing (11pm ish) because I've forgotten to do it earlier, not to deliberately annoy the neighbours (and I realise it isn't terribly quiet).

Many people take them out late here, just before bed I think. I don't much care, it's not loud enough to disturb me, though night owl and insomniac that I am, I'm never asleep before 11pm.

Put it out earlier?

I often forget mine, my neighbor does it for me if she notices and it's late. I bring hers back in when I notice. It's nice.

I think yabu by the way, this is very low down indeed on the neighbour noise scale, just look at the threads on here where people are dealing with real noise nuisance and anti social behaviour.

Better than 5am tbh.

YABU. She'll think you're nuts

I asked the same question on here years ago and got the same response as you. So have just put up with it. My ndn woke the baby up every week for 18 months, until he started sleeping more deeply. Still wakes me up and pisses me off every week.

They definitely make lots of noise x 3 as each bin is trundled down the passage, across the bumpy drive and gate slammed each time.

Personally I try to be more considerate of those living in close proximity, but seems not everyone is the same.

Yes it could be lots worse, i should live in the middle of nowhere and me and the baby should sleep more deeply. You have my sympathy.

I think that the only way you could navigate this without looking too snowflakey is to explain that they are waking you / dc up and ask if they would mind if you put theirs out as the same time as you put yours out. That way I would probably think bit odd but hey ho why not if it keeps you happy and one less thing for me to remember. Would only work if you are not in an area where people go around adding rubbish to bins though.

11pm isn't really all that late. I could understand if she were doing it at a really unsociable hour like 2am. You are being slightly U but there is no harm in asking.

Is it that loud though? We always put our bins out very late Sunday night.... surely it can't last more than a few seconds?!

I dunno, it's a bit late and a kind word wouldn't hurt but people can be too precious about things they can't really control.

When we moved from the middle of nowhere, where the only thing to wake us was the mail plane at 5am, to a small new build estate the noise of children thundering up and down their hallways, cars leaving or arriving any time of day or night, neighbours mowing or strimming all day every Sunday took some getting used to.

But sometimes we leave or arrive in our cars; our children need to run up and down or cry; our lawn needs doing - you get used to it.

In London there were emergency sirens every five minutes; pub chucking out times; trucks every hour of the day. You have to get used to it. If you're hungry you'll eat; if you're tired you'll sleep.

One time, living on the A56 in Manchester it was five minutes of peace and silence that woke us up.

Maybe fixing on one thing - bins - is going to stick in one's mind and irritate which will affect one's unconscious mind.

Thank you for reminding me to put out my bin... 22:50.

You've spared me an "Oh Fuck!" moment at 7am tomorrow and saved my neighbourhood from running out in panic my nightwear

Oh no, dilemma time! I've just remembered I need to take my bin out, but it's nearly 11pm. After this thread, I'm worried about upsetting the neighbours.
