Yes Ill hav e to stay up all night next week (great, Im im disabled plus a carer and need my sleep.) and take a photo and catch them in the act.

They put their bins out at stupid o clock so I always miss it.

binmen don't take rubbish if bin lid isn't shut.
my bins full as it is.

NDNs are a HMO (house of Multi occupancy) and their landlord sayd he cant get any more bins from the council.
they have 2 between 6 couples.

theyre bins are overflowing as soon as the bins are emptied.

So. I catch them in the act. then what?

anti social/trespassing (bin in driveway) and disability hate crime? Can I tell police?

would police take it seriously?
council will start fining people who don't put rubbish properly. why should I be finedfor their wankiness?

AND just to top it all off, in 2 weeks time the rubbish will be collected fortnightly! double the rubbish.

Ive told the landlord but he doesn't say or do anything/Ive told the HMO's but they just sneer.

What can I do? its disgusting behaviour.

Can you get one of the locks mentioned OP?

If you have a fuller bun due to items you use To manage a disability the council will provide extra bins. My father was doubly incontenent and my mum got a special bin for all his pads etc it was a 'medical' bin for human waste. Discuss this with your council:

It is possible that they maybe over occupied so contact the council. It is possible to purchase additional bins maybe the landlord needs to do this. Could you not just put your bin in your own back garden or yard? Annoying people.

TheClacksAreDown · 13/06/2017 21:15

Forget staying up all night. Just get the gravity lock that others have mentioned and problem solved.

We only put out one mid-sized bin bag between two people per week. Our council collects most recycling, but doesn't collect food waste separately. Recycling is another bin bag worth.

I can't understand how two people produce such large amounts unless they aren't recycling :/

woundedbutwalking · 13/06/2017 21:59

I work in a council waste team and my advice would be to ask for an assisted collection. If you are disabled with a career you should definitely qualify. This means that you shouldn't have to put your bin out & therefore neighbours won't be able to use it. The binmen will need access to your property to get the bin.

If the landlord hasn't got enough capacity for his HMO then he needs to be paying for additional waste collections, it might be worth checking with the council licensing/housing team that it's registered with them too. HTH Smile

ok. sit rep-
found out, it wasn't ndns, its someone, a complete stranger who came down the road and put a bag in my bin. no one elses, MINE!

and my bins a sfull as all the others. By the time I ran out to confront him hed disappeared. (I satyed up asll night and he appeared at 6am!)

so I took bag out of my now unlidded (is that a word?) bin and put it a few feet away on the pavement.

next week Ill go to bed, get up about 5.30 and try and get a photo of him doing this.

after that, Ill just get up the same time every Monday (Im so bloody tired!) and put bin out just before binmen are due. and if I find an extra bin bag in my bin ill know someones trespassed in my driveway!

I called the council about it ayway and the person I spoke to just said its a national problem, and theres nothing we can do about it! FFS>

the ndns used to put their bin bags in my driveway before, before we got the wheelie bins, so that's why I was sure it was them!

Why are you making your life difficult? Just get a bin lock.

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 21/06/2017 17:20

Why don't you just by a bin lock? I'll give you the £40 myself.

QueenArseClangers · 21/06/2017 17:26

Have you not purchased a bin lock that has been suggested several times on this thread?

Or reported next door for being a possible HMO?

HaudYerWheeshtBawbag · 21/06/2017 17:29

I was reading your post but cannot get past disability hate crime, in what way does a neighbour using your bin mean they are discriminating against you Hmm

melj1213 · 21/06/2017 18:30

Buy a bin lock and the problem will be solved.

Why are you insisting on martyring yourself by getting up early, taking pictures etc when they are likely to do nothing to stop the neighbour, whereas a bin lock will let you have a lie in and stop the problem.

snotato · 21/06/2017 18:34

I requested a new recycling bin for my house,but unfortunately they wouldn't give me one as I had less than 6 people living in the property.could you ask the neighbours to call the council and ask for an extra bin as there are more than 6 people in there?

DailyMailReadersAreThick · 21/06/2017 18:37

How is a picture going to help? Unless the culprit is well known to the local police, a photo isn't going to identify him.

BangkokBlues · 21/06/2017 18:43

Gravity lock....... #cancelthecheque

crocodilesoup · 21/06/2017 18:52

I'm not getting people saying packaging can go in the recycling. No plastic bags, haribo fruit wrappers etc, can go in our bins. No animal waste either (thank you, rabbits) they make a few bag fulls a week by themselves.
