Tenants of another flat put rubbish in my bin

As a cheap solution, you could:

Put a laminated sign on the bin saying this bin is solely for use of flat X.

Buy some gorilla tape, then after you have used the bin, add 2 - 4 strips of gorilla tape to tape down bin lid. You will have to remove this tape before you put the bin out. However, it will help convey the message not to use your bin, and it is an inconvenience for anyone attempting to use it.
 
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).
 
Buy a bin lock, get a sturdy one. I had to do this when I was in a flat as other tenants and passers by (I lived on a busy street) used my bin. People will say what’s the big deal, but it’s annoying when you can’t use your own bin because it’s full of other peoples rubbish. Also, if it’s not their own bin they tend to just chuck stuff in there unbagged and the bin ends up stinking. It’s not exactly an ordeal to have to remove it when you put your rubbish out/put your bin out.
 
Womble means many things from my part of East London, so im going to go with the worst i can think of and judge your harshly.

You people make me sick.

As for the rubbish problem. cant you use their bin for a few days and then you'll be equal. I wouldn't get in a tizzy about it. More important things in life.

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?
 
Hook up a booby trap that squirts them in the face with watered down dog poo with a note stating the fact as they lift up the bin.

Obviously make sure you remove it on bin day.

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!

There’s only 8 people in the flats and they produce more rubbish than my colleague who lives in a house of 8.

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

when you put the bins out - don't you ever go through thought process of what the hell do the neighbours eat to create all this rubbish (fast food I'm guessing)-
if the rubbish bin was weighed (nordics do that no?) and we could pay rates for what we dispose, or, reduced rates if you put the black(?) bin out once a fortnight, then sign me up,
I don't think the rates increase today is an april fool.
