i live in a converted townhouse, few flats within...we all have designated bins that clearly have our flat numbers on them.
Some wanker thinks it's ok to fill up my bin with his shit leaving me with nowhere to put my own rubbish & today I've found out exactly who this punk is...i'm considering approaching him politely and telling him to stop but he's a bit of an arse hole & it would prob lead to some form of altercation, the landlord is a pussy who won't do anything about it so I'm considering an alternative option...taking his shit out my bin and dumping it outside his front door!
Bit to extreme? What do ya think people? Anyone had to deal with this before? Would be interested to find out how you resolved it? Thanks |

"A bigger form of altercation would commence, I'd guess!  "
I'd be as sneaky as him when leaving his rubbish outside his door.
Actually thinking of cutting the bag at the bottom to so when he goes to pick it up the rubbish empties outside his front door 
Would ensure a lesson is learned no? |

"Leaving it on his doorstep is a good move!, or wait see if he goes out and leaves a window open, that way it not stinking up the hallway  "
Luckily his entrance is at the side of the property so would only affect him if i did. |

"This is just so stupid, what sort of mind does it take to use someone else's bin? Put a note on your bin saying "if your bin's full then Please don't use mine, this is a polite warning. Thank you""
I don't think this will work (blokes a right tosser) but i will try this in the hope it works before resorting to some unsavoury tactics...Thanks! |

"Get another bin"
So he can fill that one too? Or take the chance of the dustbin men not emptying it because it isn't the same as the rest? I pay my council tax don't see why i should fork out for another bin. |

"Another question is why is his bin so full? Does he not recycle? Gets rid of about half a bins worth"
We all have one bin...black bags for general waste & recycle bags which are left for our recycling all go in the one. |

Exactly, you've warned him, so if he continues...... That's when you can start getting serious, I can't think of another solution other than getting another bin and locking that, not council property because you've bought it |

I'd rather get on the bad side of my neighbour as opposed to my landlord to be honest. |

Also just the once get him some bin liners and put a note saying if his bins full to fill the bags and put next to the bins, because if you have a Dominos night with the lads from boxing with all that cardboard you'll have nowhere to put your rubbish if he keeps using your bin.

Horseshit.
Yes it's the councils property - therefore nothing to do with the landlord.
So long as you remove the lock prior to collection day - by which time it will either be full and soon be empty and if not anything your neighbour puts in will be emptied too - the council won't give a shit either.
Why make an easy situation to avoid complicated? Or are you looking for some kind of confrontation?

Try the "diplomatic" stuff first, you have nothing to lose, and it might just work.
If it doesn't, then you have two choices...
Do nothing, to avoid possible escalation. But document everything for evidence.
Do something, I favour the "split bag" approach as mentioned somewhere above... sure, he'll go apeshit.. but then you have evidence that you tried the "softly softly" approach.
Hope for peace... but be prepared for war. |

Hmmm I'm thinking yes, say to him that this guy won't be told, it's only a bin and until he can't use it he'll keep doing it, you pay rent to the landlord and its a reasonable request to have somewhere to put rubbish. Better yet have the landlord speak to the twat tenant |

In this case? Yes.
Google 'bin lock'. It's a very successful company that supplies locks for bins. It's not just a case of stopping others using your bin - but preventing people going through your rubbish looking for confidential info such as bank statements etc.
It states councils approve of the product and lists London boroughs that have had locks fitted. And it lists them all - so I doubt yours will have any issue.
You asked for a solution. I suggested one that didn't involve lowering your behaviour to that of your neighbour.
But hey. If cutting the bottom off his bin bags makes you feel better.........

You said your Landlord is a pussy, and you imply he won't confront your tenant, with whom I am assuming you have a legitimate grievance. If that is the case he won't confront you if you take legitimate steps to prevent your neighbour using your bin, by putting a lock on it. In your shoes, I would request the Landlord to confront your neighbour and if that doesn't happen or work , lock the bin. As Obi says the council won't care about the action you take as long as they can empty the bin on bin day. |

Cutting his bin bag was said tongue in cheek...the little green smiley after should have shown you that but i can see you have a different agenda here.
Could have mentioned this Google thing in your first post really but i guess you one of those who try to test people on here for their reaction...bit pathetic really! |

Contact the council and explain the situation, ask their advice, however you would have to remember to unlock it on collection day. |

I haven't read all the replies, no time, but if YOU DO put his rubbish on the floor YOU are liable to pick it up or face the fine.

Put anti vandal paint paint on the bin handle so when he touches it he's branded for life. I know how frustrating neighbours can be at times. The ones who won't listen to reason are the worse. I hope you have vented enough, like a lot of people do on here. They say it's only a bin but when you have nowhere to put your rubbish because someone is filling your bin up it becomes a problem. My husband would have knocked on the door and said don't use our bin. If he persisted he would have been wearing the bin. Dickish behaviour maybe, but if you act like a dick you get treated like one by one. |

Will check out that Google Bin Lock thing & failing that will contact the local council to see what they'll let me do as it's 'their' bin as advised by my landlord.
Thanks again to those who had something worthwhile to contribute |

Definitely go for the bin locks. Council won't care so long as it's not locked on collection day.
It may just be rubbish but you pay your council tax towards having somewhere to put it and the guy is being a douché, essentially using more than his fair share and expecting YOU to pay for it.
Plus, that leaves you open to fines by the council if you don't dispose of your own rubbish the correct way (i.e: putting your black bags out, and not inside the bin).
I'd seriously tell my Landlord to man the fuck up though, especially as any complaints would probably have to come from him as the owner of the property. If not, speak to the council. |

Lock his bin so he gets the blame!
And use his bin instead.. If he gets a bit pissy with it say you thought you had swapped bins with him.
It's a win win plus you annoy him :D |

I had this issue, a neighbour was filling my bin with all sorts, and I'm a keen recycler and have 4 wheelie bins for this, but she just dumped everything into one bin, the bin men won't empty the bins if they don't have the appropriate contents.
I just put a polite note through the door and when she next saw me, she apologised and problem was solved luckily. |

But you can put running in the communal area in a petty dispute? If he is filling up your bin use his.
You're not just punishing him by making the whole communal area stink of your rubbish. |
