    I've emailed estate agents with a polite request, but I'm still going to pop over next week and put the black bin out myself as it's a few minutes drive from me.
    If I get no joy from the estate agents, I'm not going to risk the purchase over a bin, so I'll try speaking to the council to see if they can sort something.
    If still no joy, it will be a pair of heavy duty gloves and a trip to the tip if it's not sorted before I move in.
    Hopefully the current owner will get it sorted and save the effort.
    Thanks all.

    Sorry the bins are full, I do hope you can get them emptied.  I was upset to move into my property and find my general waste and recycling bin overflowing with mixed rubbish, I had to go to the dump in my first week here.
    Upset over a full bin, really! 
    Think you've missed that this isn't just about the bins being full (I agree that's a rather odd thing to get upset about), but being full of the wrong stuff and needing to be re-sorted.
    Nope the person who is upset about full bins isn't the OP. Read back.

    Maybe get some CCTV installed, if you have fears of the ex-tenant being a drug user. You wouldn't want any unwanted people to attend the property, looking for the previous tenant.

    I have - I'm taking "my general waste and recycling bin overflowing with mixed rubbish" to mean the bins were full of the wrong stuff, like the OP.
