I posted afew months ago about my neighbours skip that had sat outside the front for MONTHS and was stinking up the place in the height of summer...... it went.....eventually. well now she has her 3 wheelie bins in the front garden literally centimetres from both out front doors. Ee live in terraced houses with very small front gardens. Out front doors are right beside each other. We share access down the tunnel to our back gardens were we keep our bins. She has decided for the last two weeks to keep her bins out front. Omg not only does it look a sight but it stinks. I hate to sound like Mrs bucket but I want then rid. My MIL made comment afew days ago that it looked a sight and she's not kidding. She has a perfectly large garden so why oh why is she doing this? SO AIBU to ask her to move them back?

Could you sprinkle them liberally with Bin Fresh? There is a Jeyes Fluid one that would overpower pretty much anything, and also a lemony one which isn't too bad but you would need a lot of it. Or get a fan and face it towards her windows and blow the stink her way.

Either speak to her or learn to live with it

Offer to bring her bins down the back when you do yours.

When she says "why?" Tell her they smell.

Woman up. If it bothers you say something.
