To find this disgusting?

[whereisshadow]

There’s still a week before bin collection and this is the state of my neighbours.

This isn’t a one off. It’s constantly like this. Both normal and recycling. Sick of living near tramps that don’t care.

What are they meant to do with their rubbish if the bins provided aren't big enough?
You should be angry at your council - not your neighbours.

What, the lid being up? Or is there more to the photo we can't see?

This. Literally what do you expect them to do?

I think YABU, it's better than landfilling recyclables

What's the issue, that there's cardboard in their general waste? Or that the bins are overflowing?

Eh, what are they supposed to do with it? Throw it in the wood?!

You sound like my upstairs neighbour, We call her moaning Myrtle.
But seriously (and kindly) is this really all you have to whinge about in life?

There are a few households in my road that put their bins out like this too. They are larger families though, so create a lot more waste.

What else are they supposed to do with their rubbish exactly?

Recycle more so less goes in the landfill bin

That pic is hilarious!

I wouldn't know how overflowing my neighbour's bins are because I don't spend all day nosing in their garden or taking incredibly zoomed in pics to try and shame them on the internet.

You'll have to move away from all people so.

They've failed to put the cardboard in the recycling - is that your point?

Is your complaint simply that your neighbours put their rubbish in the their rubbish bins?

It is either very zoomed or OP was using a 2 megapixel camera from 1998.

In all fairness, it would be nice if they did weekly collections instead of fortnightly, especially in warmer weather, otherwise the bins get maggots and smell bad.

It doesn't look like they squashed stuff down and the slightest wind will have litter over the street

I know our council will provide a larger bin on request

We would just let our neighbour know they can use ours which is rarely full

What everyone else manages to do!

It's just very full of ordinary items, not exactly overflowing with filth where you have to deal with it.

I mean for a start they could try breaking down that bloody box thats sticking out! So I get your point OP, they cant be arsed and dont care.

Ours won’t collect bins if the lids aren’t down.

If larger or more bins are required then we contact the council - which we did, so we have 2 general waste and 2 recycling bins.

it looks like they're not compacting anything or even trying to do anything to help the situation.

i would think reporting them to Environmental Health would be your best option.

I know we can buy replacement bins, which are ££££. Extremely annoying when they've dumped your perfectly fine bin into their big truck!!

but I don't think they'd take more than one bin.

Oh just relax OP honestly. You haven’t mentioned that this is actually impacting your life at all - you surely would have if it was. So just let it go.

Omg outrageous... I'd call the police personally 🙄
