Neigjbour rarely puts her own bins put, she wait until other people in the atreet jave out theres pit and just goes and distributes her rubbish and recycling between them! She lives on her own so probably doesn’t have enough rubbish to fill the bin so not sure whether she just thinks its pointless putting them out. I have caught her a few times when its been quiet in the street and I’ve pulled up on drive or am going out to the car, either late at night (if anyone had put their bin out the night before) or sometimes early on a morning when theres no-one around. When her hisband was alive he would sometimes come and put his dog food tins in our bin! Not sure whether anyone else in the street has noticed and it doesnt really bother but I just find it rather amusing Grin I personally wouldnt have the cheek to do it!

Sounds odd that she does this and doesn't put her own out.

We often use the neighbours bins as we have so much rubbish its unbelievable and neither of us drive so cannot really get to the tip and otherwise, we have binbags in our shed..and obviously they just build up over time as as soon as bin is emptied, its half full again with stuff that couldn't fit in.

Neighbours don't mind, we asked them so they didn't think we were cheeky just doing it. I would think it was fairly common, especially for a house with 7 people living there (yes we have applied for a second bin, but seems to be months waiting lists Hmm ) but the situation described is just bizarre.

Fuck that it’s my bin so only my rubbish in it. The council make it very clear any issues with the bin are mine and mine to pay for.

We recycle everything but have cat litter in the bin which makes it heavy. My worry every 3 weeks is it will be seen as too heavy to empty. I go to the tip with my rubbish to try and avoid this. Just because I’ve made space in my bin does not mean you are allowed to fill it and make it too heavy

I had a manky general bin when someone, I’m looking at you next door knob head, put snarky chicken in my bin that festered there for 2 weeks

I don't even put my bin out every week as we don't have much rubbish (I insisted on a big one though because at Christmas you get more rubbish) so my neighbours would be welcome.
