Wheelie bin on driveway - neighbour dispute

happy35

A friend has to store her bin in the back yard, she drags it up the back lane to the end of the street to get it emptied as does the other downstairs flats.

Upstairs flats store theirs on the front garden and put on to the pavement for emptying.

Alternatively you can be less selfish and give away 1/2 your garden in exchange for the rights to leave your 3bins on their land, win win situation

What would you do if your neighbours put their bins on your drive

What does the landlord of the downstairs flat say about it all?

Get them to remove the bush and designate the area as a communal bin store?

If your neighbour came and knocked on your door and asked you to chop down a bush in your front garden so they can store their bins in your garden, what would you say to him/her?

Go with GM's tea and cake approach.
Could you share bins? (I rarely have more than a half full wheelie bin)
Offer to put all bins out (and take back) in exchange for storing them on their land?
Perhaps your neighbours dont like looking at bins, personally I dont mind the sight, it's when they smell.

While it's the downstairs tenants home? I don't think so!

As it is a terraced house, does the lease not give you a Right of Way through your neighbours' gardens to take your bins out to the end of the terrace?

You say that there is a narrow right of passage strip but the bins would be unsightly there.
They can be put there as long as it doesn't block the way. As you won't have to look at them then being unsightly, which by the way I agree with, you should see my road and the folks that live there have plenty of space to move them out of sight, then it won't trouble you.
Problem solved.

As others have said, if there is no provision for bin storage thenthe tenants may have to use bags and put them out on buin day only, or store the bins in the back ggarden and bring them out through the flat. Not ideal, but you don't have a right to use the other party's land just be cause it is inconvenient not to.

Is there a gate or other access to the garden to ket them bring the bins round that way?
