muddywolf Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'm getting constantly fed up with my neighbour using my wheelie bin to put her rubbish in so wondered if anyone has tried a bin lock and if they're any good or anyone has any other suggestions. I should point out that I have no problem with a neighbour putting stuff in once I've put it outside for collection, but this neighbour just keeps walking straight into my front garden to dump large bags of rubbish as she keeps her bin on the back alley and can't be bothered to walk round to it. There's only her there and a family of us so by the end of the fortnight our bin is usually at capacity. I got home tonight and my bin was ajar and half full of her rubbish. As I still had a bag of my own to put out, I've removed hers and put it outside her door. It made me feel a bit swampy but I'm not sure what else to do. I did think of moving my bin onto the back but thought it would give any would be burglars an easier way to climb into the garden (over a high wall) so didn't bother. She's done it several times and I've already mentioned it so this time took the more drastic action of letting her have it back. Any ideas anyone? You done the best thing and returned it to her, it should stop now. If not just carry on as your doing, if she puts a bag in return it onto her doorstep, she should soon get the message.

marmoore Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 since I started locking my bins I do not have to worry if I have enough space for my wastes or not. My neighbours have large collection of black bags under theirs stairs. But I don't care. If they like I don't mind. They don't have bins at all!!!! Because it is to difficult to call council and ask for new ones. In my property there are 6flats and now everyone have to lock bins because of one stupid person.

ApplesPears Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 We used to have an issue with neighbours topping our bins up when they were left out for emptying. This pushed the lids up and put them at risk of not being emptied! We just threw all their bags on the ground and they were soon cleared up; it didn't happen again.
