On bin day, neighbour obstructs my front garden with their bins.

 Move his bins, let him scream and close your door so you can't hear him

Clearly they are not reasonable or rationale people but what do they actually say when they are telling you off for moving their bin? Do they think they have a right to put it there for some reason?

The police are right.
You seem to pay far too much attention to maintaining your shrubs from the public pavement.
If you want to book someone just do this and they will take care of the bin if they need this.

ETA: you can discuss this with the council as AFAIK the bin, if possible, has to be left on the edge of the owner's property, not on a public pavement.

The problem is that no one can move the bin out of the way. The neighbour goes mental if we do.

Just move them and let them go mental if they want. Just ignore them. You are paying too much attention to them!

I had a bin obsessed neighbor once, kept pushing it right up to the side of our house to leave his path clear - and block ours. One day his freshly emptied bin simply dissapeared while he was out. 

I happen to know for a fact that a jigsaw will cut up a wheelie bin really quickly with no fuss should you need to take one to the tip.

If there were cameras covering it then an unidentified male of indeterminate age wearing a black hoodie and jeans would have removed the bin until off camera view. 

The idiot did knock on our door and ask if we had his bin, or had seen it. Obviously I said no. As luck would have it some idiot teens did wheel someone else's bin away from the house a week or two earlier and were likely suspects. 

Takes about a month to get a new bin from the council and you have to pay. 

He started locking his bins together with 2 big motorcycle locks - much as I was tempted to saw the plastic handles off the bin and move them as he started keeping them on his own side I left them alone.

For our bins to be collected they must be left 'kerbside' i.e. outside the property line.  The bin men will not enter the property to collect the bins.  It's also a game of hide and seek to find our own bins after they've been emptied.

Ditto 🤩
A good laugh, thanks.
Reminds me of my solution to rugby, footballs coming from the school breaking my veg and flowers but that's irrelevant.

Put your bins out before they do  , if they move yours scream and have a melt down  at them just like they do to you  

That'll teach them

Well...

AI: "For bin collection in *******, residents should leave their bins at the kerbside, meaning at the edge of their property near the public highway"
