I think I know who it is, it’s the tenants of one of the two flats that always have overflowing bins. Plus fly tip crap. There’s only 8 people in the flats and they produce more rubbish than my colleague who lives in a house of 8.

On the way to work I put my bag of rubbish in the bin and noticed a load of loose rubbish in there, which wasn’t mine. Didn’t have time to check the full extent of the contents. One of the things was some work boots. Clearly not mine and some colouring pencils.

These tenants have a history of fly tipping and leaving the area in a mess! They have been warned by the housing association countless times. They don’t learn.

Council won’t pick up fly tipping as it’s oh private ground. Have moved a few flytips in the past to go onto the pavement. Bingo! It’s collected! But the fly tipping now is big, heavy and bulky.

Back in the late summer, after our bins were emptied - we had strong winds and blew bins all over the place. I had to pick one up as it was blocking the road. A week later, the tenant said to me don’t touch my bin. I wasn’t going to get my car damaged by the bin or damage the bin.

A couple of weeks later I had a visit from the police saying I been messing around with these tenants’ bins! Absolute BS. Told police that I just picked up a bin as blocking the road and history of the tenants’ ASB. The police went round to say that please stop the overreacting and they wouldn’t be talking to them if you kept the area tidy.

Got no other place to store my wheelie bin.

It’s making me worried that making me feel sick. Im going on holiday later this month and these tenants are going to take advantage and **** take of using my bin,


Using someone’s bin without permission is classed as fly tipping.

What do I do? Probably scour the rubbish (with my wombling gear) to seek out any personal information. Then report to the police with evidence
 
I have used a bin lock before but a courier broke it when putting a parcel in the bin. Plus another one which broke when we had heavy winds. Wind blew bin over and bent lock.
 
Stop being a whiney ****?

What the **** is wombling gear?
I womble (litter pick) and got a bag hoop, picker, gloves and bags. The latter are a different colour to normal bin bags.

If see anything with personal details, the council, ha and police will get photographs
 
I must be weird, 'cos I don't get it. You are a self-confessed Womble who goes out litter picking to keep the area nice, but you won't let somebody help you keep it nice by letting them use some space in your bin when theirs is full. Is it really just that you really don't like these people very much ? Why not try being neighbourly to them (hell, you're neighbourly to everybody not in your block by litter-picking for them).
They bin a load of food. Order a takeaway pizza, eat two slices and toss rest! With wombling I don’t know whose rubbish it is.

Plus they got the police round when i just innocently picked up one of their blown over bins. Can you imagine how they react if I started to pick up their mess?
 
So you're telling us the police turned up because you picked up someone's bin? The police don't turn up when you've been robbed or assaulted so good to see their priorities are right.

I'm smelling cows or something.
The tenants claimed I messed about with their bins. Which turned out for me to pick up a bin which was on the road!
 
It's such weird anecdotal things like this that make me not believe a word you say sometimes.

How would you even be able to quantify this, also I heard of bad workplace craic, but chatting about how much rubbish is in your respective bins makes me glad I work from home.

Only solution is to move into the bin imo
My colleague doesn’t have rubbish overflowing onto the floor. One tenant has their bin overflowing 3 days after the bin men come.
 
Back home and had a better look at the rubbish - all loose. Work boots look at least a size 11, I’m a size 8. Plus could see a Christmas card sticking out. Hopefully it will say ‘To (name of tenants) from (whoever)’ Plus some toys - i don’t have children.

Going to root through the rubbish to see any personal details. Whilst wearing gloves. Take photos of things of interest.

I’m being harassed by the pathetic low life tenants. Using other people’s bins without permission is fly tipping- an anti social behaviour. They should be evicted as never take any warnings seriously. They carry on with the mess 10 days after warnings.

Police will take interest as they told me after speaking to the tenants that they have been warned about fly tipping.
