    In regards to mail, I would just write 'Return to sender no longer at this address'.

    Hi
    Have you checked you Council website to see if they do bulky item collections.
    Even if they charge a fee it might be cheaper.
    Also if any of the items are metal just flag down a tatter, they will shift it for free.
    HTH
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)

    I would tell them there is some post for them which they can collect when they come to remove the rubbish.
  • You sound like a very nice person, I would not have been so forgiving. The right thing would have been to go through your solicitor, I would have probably done the worst thing possible, I would put the whole lot in the back of my car and dump it in their front yard, admittedly I would have felt the wrath of my wife.

    Store their post with the rest of their belongings.

    I would send the post back to the senders simply because these are not reasonable people. If they were they would have organised to move their rubbish and they would have redirected their post. Now that you know that they are not reasonable I am not sure what you will be confronted with if they say some of the post has gone missing while being collected up in your house.

    I naively hoped we could deal with it the friendly way

    They clearly don't want to. You can be nice, but you don't need to be taken for a fool.

    Might be a week or two late but who doesn't love a bonfire at this time of year...

    Use the post as a taper....
  • I'd dump their post in their front garden, and then dump their rubbish on top of it :)
