Neighbour and her wheelie bins

[Milsplus3]

AIBU to be pissed off my neighbour keeps putting her wheelie bins outside my garden on collection day instead of her own? Close enough to touch my gate and pushed right into my fence which has started making paint chip off, also makes it a pain to wheel my own bins out of my gate to the front of my house and straight from my gate we have to walk into the road to avoid them.
I know she is doing it on purpose which gets my back up more. I noticed her rush out when it got dark to put them there, everyone here usually puts them out on their way to work/school run on morning of collection at council request as our pathway is tiny.
Very tempted to wheel them to the other side or put my own in that spot even earlier/leave them there permanently, but it makes me as petty as her and I’m not interested in having bin wars.
Set up is my house is end of terrace, hers is terraced and she has a wider front garden as mine stretches around the side, (dead end and brick wall next to my garden) therefore more room for her to put her bins outside her house which doesn’t inconvenience either side of her neighbours. No where else to put them as we’re opposite an open field.
Any suggestions??

Put them back on her side then? Or take them down the road and leave them there?

Put yours there before she can nab the spot. She won't want to have to move yours to put hers there!

Or set fire to her bins

Why wouldn’t you just knock on her door and ask her to put them outside her own garden?

Any chance of a diagram? I put mine outside my neighbours fence to save the binmen a stop. Never once thought the neighbours would be annoyed about it. Regardless, YABU. Bin placement on the street is not important enough to get het up over.

Just move them...
We get an entire Close worth of bins outside our house and nextdoors because of the layout of our estate. It's not a big deal. If they're in the way we shove them down a bit but it's one day a week..

I would just move them each time and put my own there!

This is so bizarre! What reason does she have for putting them outside your house instead of her own? Surely it’s more close and convenient to put them outside her house?

Ah ha ha, my neighbours do this to me (bin bags rather than wheelie bins).

I move them back over their side. They may not even notice but it makes me feel better. Don't care if it's petty.

Wheel them back to her front door. Every time.

Put yours there first.

I’d just move them as little as possible when they are in your way but otherwise ignore them.

Next time they have been emptied put them in your garden so she has to come and ask for them and then explain you thought they were yours because they were outside your house. Do that a few times and she will soon get sick of asking for them,

Is she putting her next to where yours will be as the bin lorry lifts two at a time so she’s trying to be helpful to the bin staff?

Everyone pops their bins outside my house - nice and easy for the bin men, and they’re only there a few hours a week.

Erm, wheres the diagram?!

Wouldn’t it be a shame if the bin men left her empty bins at the end of the road next time

Please no further comments until we have a DIAGRAM!!!!

Does she have more than one bin? My old neighbours used to do this when they had a second illicit bin. They kept putting it outside other people's houses. Until an anonymous source DH grassed them up and it got taken off them. Then they started putting bin bags in other people's bins, the cheeky fuckers.

I would put mine there first, or wheel hers back to outside her house - knock and cheerfully explain you noticed she accidentally put her bins outside your house but not to worry as you’ve popped them back.

2 bags of post cement and a bucket of water in each bin.

@Fatted I knew someone who used to do that. There was no telling him, either. It was so rude.

OP, we need a diagram.

I think they must mysteriously vanish altogether and forever, along with any replacement bins left outside yours.

Smile brightly and disavow all knowledge. Say you heard the bin men are cracking down on people with ‘extra bins’ and must have assumed they were yours.

I leave my bin outside my neighbours as it is easier for the bin men. They can wheel both at the same time then. I also leave the handles pointing to the road so they can grab and go.

Move her bins to the front of her property every time. You could mention it to her when you see her.

Have you actually spoken to her? Asked her why she does it?
