Why the need to do this so early?

[Binannoyance]

Wheelie bins. When do you deliver it to the roadside for emptying?

Every bloody weekend one of my neighbours pulls her bins out and bashes them around to straighten them up at least a whole 24 hours before they’re due to be collected.

We’re on a road of mainly working people who are up and out early every day. I have to be up early 6 days a week. Sunday is the only day I don’t have to be up and out early and I’m awoken before 6am to the sound of bin thunder.

She will then keep walking down her drive to put things in the bin all day.

For info, she does it every week, she is semi retired, I haven’t spoken to her about it as she took a dislike to us shortly after we moved in 9 years ago and I don’t want to make anything worse.

It’s not the biggest deal in the world but I’m sitting here grumpy I was woken up when it still had a 5 on the clock! Would I be unreasonable to push her in with her damp grass clippings and shut the lid? (Joking!)

I’ll help. But then I woke at a similar time just because of my bastarding brain. At least you do can do something about yours 😫

On the plus I’m enjoying some peace and quiet before the whole family are up.

YANBU!

I've been up since just after 5am, I've stripped my bed, it's in the washing machine...but won't be switched on until at least 8am (I live in a flat)

Some people have no consideration for others, but some people have no idea how sounds travel when it's quiet.

If you don't want to speak to hear, is there another neighbour who might? You might not be the only one getting woken by her.

i am pretty sure you are not meant to leave them out, so putting them out so much in advance is wrong.

Our c*nt of a neighbour did this a couple of times, but think more 5am ish, but bringing bin back in the next morning 🤦‍♀️ . We had to have a word.

I do put mine out the evening before as the refuse collectors seem to start at some unmentionable hour here and I nearly missed out once. I get up at about 6 every day; I try not to be noisy . it's years and years of getting up to get ready for work; I'm afraid that retirement hasn't reset my body clock.

My neighbour does this, then in and out all day with recycling banging it into the bin. Weirdo!

Ours goes out 10-11 hours before collection.
So I deal with the bins after dropping DS off at his 7pm club. Bins out about 8pm. Bins emptied some point between 6 and 7am. DH brings the Bins in when the kids go to school about 8.30.

I used to put ours out at 5:30am, sometimes that wasn’t early enough for collection.

Ours go out any time the day before collection.
Though by 'anytime' I mean between 10am and 7pm really.

Most of our street puts them out night before (as in before 'bed time') as collecting happens usually just past 7am.

We’re retired, but realise our neighbours aren’t. We don’t use the recycling bin late, as next door have a baby. The bins go out the evening before collection. After emptying, we usually put next door’s back on their path as they go to work before bins are emptied. Most of the neighbours do the same.

So your bins are collected (say) early on Monday morning, but she puts it out very early on Sunday morning? That's madness and very selfish, if she's clattering around.

If you do need to put it out at an unsociable hour, it's perfectly possible to wheel it slowly and quietly and then carefully lower it again. Why does she fuss about straightening them up neatly? Has she never seen how 'neatly' the binmen put them back after emptying?!

I'd say something to her. It can't just be you, she's waking up the whole street!

Yabnu.
But at least your neighbours take their bins in and out. My scummy neighbours (all of them!) leave their bins on the paths 24/7 and it looks awful.

I’m sure there are rules about this. They can’t be put out before 5pm (or maybe 7pm) on the day before collection. Have a look on the council website. And if she is breaking the rules, ring them and grass her up and say the bins are an obstruction, I doubt they’ll care about your lie-in but they would if pushchairs and wheelchairs can’t get past because she leaves her bins out for a full 24 hours.

Don't most councils have restrictions as to when you can put your bins out - usually not before the evening preceding the collection?

It's incredibly selfish to deliberately block the pavement for people using wheelchairs and pushchairs etc. for a whole day, completely unnecessarily.

My FIL has to use a mobility scooter to get around, and he avoids leaving the house on bin day, as it's so difficult with all the bins out. Because of people like this woman, people like him would be forced to stay at home for an extra day each week - for no reason whatsoever.

Our collection is between 06:00 and 22:00, depending on the time of year i will take it out between 16:00 and 20:00. You need to have a word with her.

I can’t get angry about this.

my whole street has a good chunk of steps up to the house so every neighbour has to bounce the wheelie bins up and down.

it’s part of city life and I’ve gotten used it. It’s less than 5 minutes of noise usually.

my neighbour deciding 8am on a Sunday is a great time to do DIY and continuing all day despite being retired can fuck right off though. Honestly.

I wonder if she's worried she'll forget. DH puts ours out well in advance because of this and then, and as your neighbour does, he then goes back and forth until collection. All of our neighbourhood does something different so I hear bins being transported often. That doesn't bother me, the thing I hate is that we're obviously somewhere near the start of the route for household waste, garden waste and recycling, so 1 to 3 times a week I hear the truck at 6.30 am. We always sleep with windows open, even in winter they're at least open a tiny bit.

@Binannoyance you'll need a way to keep the lid closed until they're collected!!

I feel your pain! There are a couple of public bins on the street outside oput house, they get emptied between 5 & 6 on a Sunday morning (fuck knows why), but the two most inconsiderate bell ends who bang the metal lids down on the pavement, shout with each other at top volume and slam the truck doors.

I TRY to be grateful I don't do their job, but honestly, I mostly fail and get tempted to go out & shove them in the munching machine!

(For anyone worrying, they're safe, I couldn't push them into the gutter let alone up into the grinder!!)

I can't believe anyone would talk to their neighbours about the time they put their bins out. That's life, there's noise. Move to the middle of the country if you don't want to be disturbed.

Most councils state after 7pm and before 6am for collections and state they must not be left on the street outside of these times. A lot of streets have narrow pavements and they cause an obstruction. Personally I'd have a word, 6am on a Sunday is antisocial, I wonder is she is doing it on purpose?

Oh & the other 6 days the woman across the road walks her springer spaniel at 5am. Which 'needs must' I guess, she doesn't work, but maybe the dog is nervous or something🤷🏻‍♀️But she needs to get the bottom of her gates trimmed instead of noisily scraping them across the drive & she needs to teach her dog to go out calmly & quietly. Her dog is gorgeous so it generally makes me smile thst it's SO happy to be taking her for a walk, but it's still also very annoying!
