Can you clarify please?
Where does your local council require you to put your bin?
For example, on the pavement, at the edge of your property, on a grass verge (if any) between the path and the road.
Are the bins wheelie bins or the traditional dustbin that you needed to buy from a shop?
Who owns the bin? The residents, the council, the contractors?
Where does your neighbour place the bin?
Where do you place your bin?
Is your neighbour's bin on your property, on the pavement, on a grass verge or in the road, or what?
Does your neighbour put anything into the bin while it is outside your house?
Does your neighbour place the bin there or is it just where the dustbin people leave it?
Is it always placed in the same place or does it vary?
Is it possible that your neighbour cannot physically move the bin and is thus stuck with where the dustbin people leave it?
What does the council include in the contract with the contractor?
Is the council paying for work that is not being carried out?
