Wheely Bin issues.

[Carl_steveo]

A few weeks ago my downstairs neighbour had some building work done and they filled his bin with rubble. Obviously they refused to pick it up, today it seems hes taken my bin after it was emptied and I can see it over the yard wall. It looks like he's filled my bin with his rubble. Now my initial thought was to jump the wall, tip the contents of my bin and take it back.

There's one thing stopping me, the bloke down stairs hasn't done this himself, he's had two mates do it for him because he's got fairly severe multiple sclerosis. I don't want to cause the bloke issues even though he's obviously caused me an inconvenience. Is there anything I can do with regards to the council? I can't see anything on there website and they're closed at the minute.

Should I just say fuck it and cause a scene or should I be the bigger man with all things considered?

Contact council, tell them your bin has gone, get a new one. Leave rubble filled one in neighbours front garden/near his front door so he knows he has been identified as the rubble owner.




ps-

"Where's ya bin?"

"I aint bin nowhere"

"Nooo, where's ya wheely bin"

"I wheely aint bin nowhere".



Sorry. As you were.

Says they charge £25 if you have not taken care of it? Dunno how they prove it?

Tell them you left it out the day of collection, went to work, came home and it was gone.

What else can you do, padlock it and tell the council the combination. They won't charge you on the first time.

Is he an older guy... or kinda 40s ish?

Neighbours also had building work done and builder used their recycling bin to store the crap. It was filthy, and one day I came home to find they'd taken my (nice clean) bin and left their grotty one.

As with your council, mine would charge £25 for a new one so every Wednesday when the bins were emptied it was a race to see if I could go and reclaim my bin and leave them theirs! Took a few weeks before I managed to beat them to it.

You need to go and speak to the neighbour and explain the situation politely. Either they dispose of the stuff properly or he pays for you to get a new one.

Or climb over his fence and apply decals with your house number to your bin, and then accuse him of stealing it and perhaps also molesting children or eating swans or something.

Or steal someone else entirely's bin, and shift the problem on to them. That's what used to happen with the garden waste bags in my old neighbourhood.

I've been knocking on his door every 30 minutes since I noticed. I've now stopped and will carry on tomorrow. The bin is spray painted with my number so it's clear it's mine. He's about 40 year old, I know he's in I can hear him he's just ignoring me.

It's only a bin, on a grand scale of things the situation matters fuck all really, I could just wait till next week like metal angel says. It's just annoying that someone would do such a twatty thing. It's not like I'm not nice to the bloke and offer help.

He left his gas cooker unlit about a month ago, we woke in the morning to the flat stinking of gas. I went down and he couldn't smell it, it was unbearable. I had to ring the gas board because he refused too, I feel sorry for the bloke MS is horrible.

You should have walked away when you smelt the gas.


Anyway empty the bin at his door, while he may well have MS doesn't mean he can be a dick

No matter what his illness if he's ignoring you he's ignorant. Up-end the bin on the floor and take it back.

Grass him up. Society has failed, it's every man for himself nowadays.

Our council replaced our wheelie bin free when it came back from the dustbin lorry minus its lid.

I agree with Pete. Don't let his illness cloud your judgement. A twat is still a twat. There's nowt worse than a wheelchair using twat with a chip on their shoulder.

Just to clarify, the bin with your number spray painted on it is in his back garden?

Swap them back, and when he eventually comes out / answers the door tell him that you don't take kindly to his helpers stealing your stuff and fly tipping rubble in your garden.
You don't have to be offensive, just make it clear that you won't be putting up with shit like that.
He knows what's going on which is why he's hiding.

[stevo as b4]

I'd ring the council and get yourself a nice shiny new free bin delivered because your's has been stolen. If his grotty old bin is no use to you for filling with your own rubble (done this myself and then fly tipped it) or making into a ghetto waterbut, then just take his shitty bin back round to his house and park it next to your old one.

The twat will now have two bins to look after. I'd chalk this one up as experience and forget all about it, but if he takes your new even nicer bin or does anything else that's very antisocial towards you or your property, then I think on strike two you have every justification to go round there an annihilate him!

The disabled have fought for many years for equality and there is law in place to ensure that they are not discriminated against and quit rightly have access to facilities that the rest of us more able bodied people have. What I am trying to say is...Do not feel sorry for spackers, equality works both ways. His disability did nor directly cause this problem so do not let him hide behind it as an excuse.

I can't believe you're even discussing this on an internet forum.

Go and get your bin back.

A note on tresspass, just in case you were worried. You are only comitting tresspass in EWngland and Wales if you have been asked to leave and have refused. It's just common law so you can't be actually prosecuted for it, they can just use reasonable force to remove you from their property.

If your concience can't cope with emptying it out there, buy him a roll of rubble sacks.

I would go and tell him you are taking your bin back, and next time he can use his own fucking bin...never touch mine again, go full on rage.

[garth]

I'd take out every bit of rubble and post them to him, but underpay the postage.
