To not want to collect neighbours bin?

[harunio]

Basically my direct next door neighbour and I alternate the weeks we collect each others bin.

She will also collect the bin of her other direct next door neighbour whereas I don’t as she has stopped saying hello to me and just ignores me because I asked her kids to stop playing on my drive.
Her kids have cost me hundreds in fencing, just to keep them of my property.

My neighbour is returning to work after maternity leave in a a few weeks and so it will only be me around to collect the bins as I work from home and I am a SAHM.

There has been incidents of bins going missing and just disappearing

My neighbour advised me yesterday that the other neighbour had asked her to ask me if I would be able to bring her bins in as well.

I advised her as this particular neighbour dosent even say hello to me and ignores me so I am not doing her any favours and she can get her own bin as it’s not my problem and I am already getting 2 other neighbours bins.

AIBU?

Just everyone be responsible for their own bins!

failing that just say no. Don’t give a reason, if she starts saying hello you will be annoyed because it’s clearly a use

I'm sure the post about someone returning from maternity leave and the bin collection has been posted before. Why didn't you just tell the other neighbour that you'll respond to the neighbour in question if and when she asks you to take her bin in?

At one of my previous addresses I used to take in the bins for quite a few of the neighbours- they never asked me to but I was at home and they were working or elderly. The neighbourhood watch encouraged people to do this for neighbours as a security measure so it wasn't obvious no one was at home.

However if there had been the unpleasant atmosphere with people not speaking to each other or not being on good terms that seems to be the norm where you live OP I possibly wouldn't have been so happy to be helpful and would have gone down the route of letting everyone be responsible for bringing in their own bins.

Bring your own bin in.

Fuck everyone elses. Their bin = their responsibility.

Talk about much ado about nothing.

Have you posted about this before. If they can't physically bring their own bins in they can go on the council website and request assistance. You're not the bin walla.

What happened with the plant watering? (I also saw the other post.)

Goodness knows what people would do if they had a really serious problem.

Did you not post a VERY similar AIBU recently?

Use this as an opportunity to say you will only be doing your own bins from now.

You are about to become responsible for bins every week, stop it now!

Yes I addressed the plant watering issue with her and she was OK with it.

On this occasion she was merely passing on a message from another neighbour lol.

I have just again explained to her that I am happy to get hers and my other neighbours bin but no more as I don’t want to be the default bin lady.

For some reason there have been a lot of being going missing round here, and the council charge each time for a replacement unless the bin has has been damaged by the bin men.
