My neighbour is in his 80's and every 'bin day' he has to put the bin out for collection (something unnecessary, as the bin men do it) and no sooner has the truck driven away, he gets straight back outside and puts them back in place. I could set my watch by him!

Why are you spending your time watching him?

While I'm putting my bin out I always have a look round the street for any litter that's been dropped, pick it up, and put it in the bin. If all my neighbours did the same this would be a much cleaner place to live. Go on, just two bits of litter each, every day...?

Actually, the binmen are not paid to collect a bin from someones house, or put it back. You should not be watching your neighbour, as if he catches you he could have you for stalking him. I think it is great that he is able to do something like that when you just sit and can't be bothered. Good for him. Bad for your image. Help him next time.

So you have an eighty year old neighbor that has a thing about his trash bins...and that has prompted you to condemn seniors.
What makes you so perfect?
What you need is to have more respect for the elderly. He is minding his own business and you go around criticizing and judging him...even making a big thing of it in this forum. Do you think that make you look smart?
Get a life!

do no longer pay the owner for the bin, call your council and say the previous tenant has taken the refuse bin so are you able to've yet another one, they may cost you, yet while they do it rather is going to likely be your bin and the owner won't have made on it. i will have faith the cheek of so landlords, and tenants, no longer you. have you ever spOKen to the agent? in the event that they say no longer something to do with them, then i could say, ok wish Landlord is wide-unfold with that loose rubbish motives cost, and that they are high priced to eliminate! basically purchase one and take it with you once you circulate away.

.Your funny! Who's the fanatic here, the old boy for trying to be neat and tidy or you for watching the poor old boy. Leave him alone and get on with dressing hairs and not peeking out behind the blinds,
Think yourself lucky dear that you have a neighbour that cares and not one who prefers to live in disarray.
Anyway it keeps the old boy occupied and busy.He is also a creature of habit.
And I am wondering do his actions give you a guilt complex...yes I wonder?.

I guess the both of you have too much time on your hands! The one time I got really annoyed was when we were left a note by our bin man as we hadn't put our bin out saying we've done it for you this time, but do it yourself next time, it wasn't very polite. The reason we hadn't done it was cos we were on holiday!

Perhaps the young (I assume you are) have gone so far down the 'self self self' path that seems to be the norm that they get confused when an action performed by another person, that is even just a small contribution to a societal infrastructure, puts the youngster into a state of utter confusion ............. ( "why is that bloke doing that ?, he shouldnt be doing that because its HELPING MY SOCIETY AND NOT BEING SELFISH ")

I had my bin stolen, so I do the same thing. The council told me it was my responsibility because I should take it in straight away.
It gives old people something to do. Just because they're old, doesn't mean they don't need occupation.
