We Got Our Bin Back, But Also Our Neighbours Rubbish!

Our council refuse collectors have always mixed our neighbours bins with ours as our front doors are so close (terraced).Our neighbours moved in 8 years ago and we never hit it off well. They used to do building works outside of acceptable hours and we had to get the council to come round to have a word. Anyway, our bins got mixed up again two weeks ago and we decided to leave them where the men left them. However, I wanted our bin back, as I put stickers on the bin of pretty birds and our door number in reflective card months ago. I tried to get our bin back yesterday, but when I went to, our neighbours had put in loads of wood and carpet remnants (something our council won't take away). When I went to empty our rubbish this morning, they must've moved our bin back overnight as our bin still has their rubbish in it and must've seen me try to move it back! Now the council will blame me for the rubbish in my bin that's not mine. What should I do?

I would report it to the Council and let your neighbour know you have done this. Hope you get things sorted out soon, so annoying.

Put in a black bin bag and leave it on their doorstep.

Put their rubbish into their bin. Hide your bin away where nobody can see it (round the back of your house, e.g.).

Why did you decide to leave your bin outside their house?

Why didn't you bring your bin in on the day it was emptied?

I agree. With Maggie.  Definitely report to Council.
