G'day, I'm a newbie here with a quick question - I hope its appropriate for this forum.
Our neighbours have put one of their bins in our front yard (right near the boundary but completely on our side) for no reason other than it suits them. Their big SUV is in between the bin and their house so they don't have to see it and to passers-by it looks like its actually our bin. My housemate has moved their bin a few times back into their yard but they just keep moving it back. This annoys my housemate more than it annoys me and I offered to go and speak to them. Do you think this is the best course of action or is there something else we could do? Thanks in advance. :thumb:

Is it abig wheelie bin thing? You could knock on their door and ask if it's theirs because it's not your and the council offered to take it away if noone claimed it. Or you could spray paint your house no on it and nick it, then grin. Or take it away in the middle of the night and dump it in the skip o teach them not to leave their waste on your property. Take my advice with a pinch of salt, stil- that's fucking annoying and I would take it as a mild but personal slight.
And if it is only bin day, whats the fuss about?
We have taken your suggestions into careful consideration and have decided to nick their bin!! A friend of ours could do with another bin anyway. Thanks everyone!
if they refuse to be reasonable about it just move it ten streets away.
Either that or just take it on a trip and leave it somewhere else.
Our bins are left out all the time but only have rubbish/stuff for recycling out when the bin men come.
I suppose in some situations like a terraced street you can't really do anything about it; but I still think where possible it's best to try to hide them, they don't really make any street look pretty lol.
