Shared bins.

On a practical level, can yyu get in the habot of putting your waste out immediately after the bins are emptied? It won't stop other people putting the wrong stuff inbut might limit how much it affects you.

Contactingthe management company is a good idea but unfortunately if people are producing too much waste or notbothering to separate it then they are unlikely to stop. It might be worth stopping pushing the waste down, and perhaps take photos to send to the management company so they can see the problem. (even of you thn push it down so they get emptied)

As it’s black bin waste, which could potentially smell, it’s not really feasible to keep inside for maybe 2 weeks, if it was clean recycling then it would be no problem. 

That is a very good idea about not stamping down and then taking photos, I’m almost kicking myself for not having done that before! It will be something that I will do from now.

I guess it depends what you are putting in the black bin! I rarely have anything that's smelly going into mine, (although in fairness we do have a separate food waste  collection)
