Why does a neighbour insist on putting the rubbish bin on my front verge?

Question

For over a year my neighbour has been putting her rubbish bin's on my front lawn (verge, council land) when they have heaps of room on their own property which has a larger frontage. The previous owners wouldn't have dreamed of doing such a thing. My property frontage is quite small, so it looks so obvious, when other bins are placed along side mine. I have tried to place mine very close to the edge of the boundary, and still hers is plonked right next to mine. This has caused problems with the garbage truck, and often, when he has to back up to turn around, my bins have been run over, split and usually found laying on the ground. Is this just arogance or just plain nasty?

Answer 1

Sounds like your neighbor is just plain disrespectful. Try talking to him or her and if that doesn't work, try putting your bins on her lawn and see how she likes it!

Answer 2

cats rubbish what the heck the problem needs discussion can you talk to the neighbour?Initially just communicate possibly the weather? They may not be aware that this is causing a problem. Just try the polite approach. You could also ask council of the procedures or stratergies so good luck but just remember to be really polite difficult but necessary where neighbours are concerned.

Answer 3

You should talk to her about it and I thought this was the cats forum.
