Neighbour putting rubbish on my drive

I want to know if I’m being overly precious here.

I have just moved into an end of terrace in a row of 6. The 2 closest to me have right of way through my garden for access. Which is pretty standard and not an issue. But... what is irritating me is the house 2 doors down use the right of way to take out their rubbish bags and recycling boxes and then leave them on my driveway rather than outside their own house.
Myself and the house attached to me put our bins outside our own houses.
It’s not worth falling out with neighbours over so I’m going to let it go and hope in time they see what me and the other neighbour do and follow. It’s annoying because if all 3 of us did it that would be 6 boxes and maybe 6 bin liners so I would struggle to park on my single driveway. I think it’s bloody cheeky! My driveway isn’t shared they just have right of way in once section of my garden.

Am I being totally precious and unreasonable?!

Presumably it all gets collected and it’s there for one morning a week, I wouldn’t be bothered about it but as you are then ask them to stop

Is it all week or just for a few hours on collection day? If it’s all week then yes say something but if it’s one day a week and you can’t still use your driveway then I wouldn’t say anything for the sake of positive neighbour relations.

You can’t tell them where to leave their bins, but you can (and should) tell them to make sure they are pulled off your drive so that you can park.

I’d reinforce it by parking so that they can’t leave the bins there for a few weeks, they will soon get it.

Remove their bins every time! Nip it in the bud now as you'r new.
