We live in a terraced house. Mine is the last one in the whole row of houses and we have to take our garbage bins from the back. All the bins of my neighbours' (the green and black ones) are all kept on the pathway and it is a nightmare removing their bins and keeping them back again just to take mine out and vice versa when I have to get my bins back in. What do I do? Should they keep their bins out in the first place (we have big back gardens, by the way) and bring them out on collection days? Its getting on my nerves. Is there any solution to this ( apart from me moving out)?
These days I keep my bin right outside and make them put mine back where it belongs. Am I a bad neighbour?

I guess you don't have a front garden to keep your bin there.
What does your next neighbour do? Must be nearly as bad for him.
youre not a bad neighbour. why should you have to move all those bins all the time. let them do it.

i know how u feel its a nightmare,we live in the middle and have
to bring it through the house from the back garden(not funny if its been or is raining)the council defo are making work for us and pay for it,i mean cause we do most of the work know are the going to pay us by knocking of some council tax? I think not!
Remember the days we used to be pissed if they slammed the gate getting our bins in & out of our drive ect? now they wont take it if the lids not closed & 1 collection a fortnight muck!

Like you the rubbish removal which was once just another Council Service is becoming a major operation in every household with some councils having their creeps spy on your rubbish and little attachments to show what you are throwing away all in the name of global warming. I now have three bins 1 for rubbish one for garden waste and one for bottles newspapers etc Now I do want to recycle but the councils seem to be pushing their luck in the way they go about things. I will believe that they are serious when they start taking supermarkets and computor disc manufacturers and suppliers to task. Have yoyu noticed how much packing comes with the average computor game. If Coucils carry on like this for much longer peole will start to burn rubbish on their property after all it is only the wet things which produce steam and smoke

section 46 of the EPA states that city councils can tell people how their waste will be removed.
in your case the city council has decided on wheely bins, they can instruct people to put their waste in the bin and to put the bin at a given collection point, unfortunately that is where the the legislation ends..
this means that the local councils are stuck as in your case with bins left at alleyway ends with no real way of stopping it.
they tried to tack part of the highways act onto s46 but this has proved unsuccessful in court.

You bad person !! fancy making the bin men do their job!! Your neigh bours should keep their bins in their back gardens or close to their front door, not blocking it and wheel them out to the road on collection days,so the bin men can spot them easily

Throw you rubbish into their bins and then when they complain, tell them why! ;)

i would contact your council and speak to the cleansing department for advice about this. there may well be bylaws to help resolve this situation
