Frustrated with neighbours....argh! Rant alert!

[LeeDevelopment]

Just a rant, I'm sorry as I really need to vent!

OK, on the face of it they're a lovely young couple with a baby kid, they're in the converted flat above mine. None of us (us two down here and the two on the top floor) have had any problems with them in anyway, bar with the bins!

I've politely asked the new neighbours twice to start recycling as they're filling up the main bin before my flat or the couple in the top flat have even had a look in. It's largely packaging and things that can go straight into the recycling bins, it's straight forward. But they're still not doing it and it's PISSING ME OFF!

*and breathes*

I put the bins out weekly (main bin one week, recycling the next and so on) and have to put the over flow from the main bin into garden refuse sacks (cos they're larger and stronger than normal refuse bags) these bags are being paid for of my own pocket. More oft than not the local foxes and god knows what else have scavenged in the tidied up supermarket carrier bags left by the new couple that are piled up next to the overflowing bin. When that happens I don my 'lovely yellow marigold gloves' and pick all that crap up as well, Margot Leadbetter I am most certainly not! (Bags full of used nappies are acky as well I add).

Now I can't ignore the issue, if I leave their refuse it will just build and attract vermin. I've rinsed out the main bin with bleach twice cos of fly strike ('maggots' to you and me) which was absolutely 'delightful'. And the council will not supply a second main bin either (and nor am I forking out to buy one - me and the top floor flat have done that already only to have the new bin nicked ).

*ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

Three households really need more than the one main bin , me and the mrs have ended up with two . One week an extra bin appeared outside the house , left it for a while but in the end claimed it .

When you get a chance ask the fella " as you are filling up the main bin can you start putting it out ? " doesn't need to be forceful or sarky just ask , he might realize then as he probably isn't any the wiser at the moment . I guess he just puts the stuff in the bin and it disappears .

He might have moved from an area that does rubbish differently or his parents did it . Don't bang on the door to ask though , you will end up being " that guy "

Complain to the council - nothing does a better job than a bloke in a tabard and a clip board

A similar thing......We have an indian chappy three doors down and somebody knicked his bin so he knicked ours :roll: I told him that this was not acceptable behaviour and knicked it back a week later I go out to put a bin bag in and it is full already :evil: so I get the old security camera out and point it at the bin and two days later guess what :?: our indian friend is sneakily putting his bin bag in our already over full bin :roll: So I tell him to go to the council and report his missing and he says o.k. I go to the tip with my rubbish because there is no other option,the bin men (Or recycling operatives :roll: for fook sake :roll: ) collect the rubbish and then the next day I go to put the rubbish in my expectantly empty bin and guess what..........It is bloody full again :twisted: :twisted: so that night I threw all the bin bags over the wall into his back yard Hey presto problem solved (It may have reminded him of home as he never said anything and the next day he helped me weed the back path way )

I hope you loosened the tops of the bags before you chucked them over his fence...
