Caught on camera - neighbour filling up my skip

[cannehelpit]

I need some guidance here please!

I have a skip outside my house. Several times a week, whether there is someone in the house or not, my neighbour comes and deposits something there. Bulky items, not small tiny things. I'd say about a quarter of the skip's contents is now my neighbours. I can see him on the camera crossing over the road, walking about 6 doors up and going back into his house. I don't know him personally, though I've lived on the street about 3 years.

What should I do about this. I do need that space for myself. I have also learned that I am responsible for the contents, so if it is rejected by teh skip company when they come to return, or god forbid there is anything illegal etc in there, I am liable. Also, it's just my skip!

What should I do? My parents say I should report it to the police. My uncle says he'll come and put the stuff back in my neighbours front yard!

Everyone on here who says its not a big deal should provide their address so we can go round and dump our rubbish in their skip. If they don't have one we can dump it in their garden and they can pay to have it taken away

I am enjoying this thread, even if it is a bit bonkers!

One conclusion I have drawn is... there are a few posters on here who have obviously dumped rubbish in a neighbour's skip and are trying to justify it!

I really wish @cannehelpitwould come back and update …

But then you lose the fun and joy of the hunt, the finding something random you can make use of! It’s the surprise element that makes skip-fishing such a great hobby.

It’s a bit like the difference between foraging in the woods and going to the supermarket

@cannehelpit Have you managed to take the stuff out or got him too yet?

I think you should carefully gather all his rubbish together and add to the pile as the CF continues to dump more stuff in your skip. Dump it all back on his front path in a big pile BUT only once you have ended your skip hire period and it has gone!!

One of my neighbours once put a huge 4 seater sofa on top of my skip...brazen in daylight...we put it back in their front garden...they were renting and moving out...they were all smiley and nice when we explained it was too big for any skip...then the garage up the road put the entire interior of a toyota corolla in the next skip...dash..seats , trim etc...we took it back as they had the shell of the car on driveway, next day it was all back so we returned it again...this went on for about 5 times and then our skip got taken away...minus the car bits.

Send him an invite to pop on for a cuppa and watch a very nice video of a kn0b dumping rubbish on your skip.

Yep,
I'm with your Uncle, kindly return his misplaced items. 😆
The other option is a note through his door saying he either comes and reclaims his misplaced property or you report him for fly tipping as its still chucking something where he has no right to. Make sure he's aware that you have security footage of him doing so and you are happy to let the police sort out the issue.

Take it out and give it back, say "you appear to have dropped thus" as you do so

He has a damn cheek and I'd ask him to pay towards the skip price if he is putting his items in the skip. They can be expensive to be honest

We had this problem, we took their stuff back to them and told them if they did it again we would report them for fly tipping- which is illegal! They never did it again!

Just take everything back out and go and put it on his doorstep.

that’s what I would do. Why is this even a question?

I would speak to him and advise that he removes his stuff. We had a skip and our neighbours emptied it! Either way, he should have asked first or he pays for the hire. Rude git.

Only with their permission

Clearly the neighbour isn’t concerned about preserving relationships

What the uncle suggests. I too, would be returning his rubbish to the neighbour. The CF!

What an absolute tightwad he is!

Say hi and offer for him to buy the skip space he is using at a premium - bet he won't have the balls to behave this rudely in day light. If it's a no - send your uncle around to dump his rubbish back with him. Your uncle is a renegade 💪

Perhaps user1471505356 is the ignorant neighbour!

I dknt understand why he's been allowed to do this 15x. By this point he now thinks it's fair game.

There are no points for virtue signalling. You can pick up the bill for OPs skip if that's how you feel

I took that as a tongue in cheek response

I'm with the majority, I'd throw it onto his land, a note isn't needed but up to you. My new neighbours were throwing black bags full of the wrong items, cartons, bottles etc into my household bin because they've chosen to put there's further away. The binmen here check! I grabbed those bags and dumped them on her side, she only did it twice.

Please take it all back during the night? And then take a photo for us so we can see. I’m fully invested in this one.

i wouldn’t bother with the note because it’s not like you need to say who it is, and he can’t call you out on it because then he would have to admit to having done something wrong
