I would reply to the letter warning that abusive tenants will be evicted and sign it Landlord.

A big communal one at the endof each street, discretely screened, would make collection easier/cheaper and hardly be a hardship. (Might need some system for the elderly I spose....)

And avoid all this possessive agro over.... a bin!

I assume if someone was to be fined for either putting the wrong items in another's bin or overfilling another's bin, that everyone will happily club together and share the bill as some sort of communal responsibility.

For the future, theft detection dye works wonders in this type of situation.
You really cannot get it off your hands and it's pretty obvious that you've been putting your hands where they shouldn't have been ...

Maybe cos most collectors insist on people splitting their rubbish/recycling. I think I'd have been burnt at the stake in one of my old houses if I dared (obviously mistakenly, officer!) put something in the wrong bin! There was even talk of cameras in bins to double check on what people were putting in...

Can just picture some binmen walking round trying to explain why their hands are dyed purple or whatever...

Change the number on your bin and that will confuse the moron

Well certainly the onus is on the bin owner to make sure the device is not in place on the day of bin collection! (just like I assume the bin owner removes the padlock on the day of bin collection)
