Do you have a ‘helpful’ husband ?
If not I agree with Meryl (predictive text just turned you into ameryllis meryl) someone is believing they are helping and you might need their help one day why not leave it just inside your door until the morning you want it going out If it’s recycling it won’t be smelly or anything

It sounds like who ever is moving it is probably thinking they are doing you a favour, I’d put a polite sign on them

Someone is being kind and helpful. Why not just leave the situation as it is and any rubbish you have put in the new rubbish bin ( in doors)

Is there someone new locally? They probably are thinking they are doing their good deed for the day, sad to disillusion them. Maybe, you could keep them on inside your property until the morning of the collection, for a week or so and then go back to your routine.

Well yes I do eventually move them to collection point. Such as early morning on the day. A friend has just suggested a bin store from b and q. Going to try it. Surely the bin fancier wouldn't go into a bin store, to retrieve them. Am trying my best to do the recycling bags myself. Independence is important to me...

Are you able to move the boxes from your front door to the collection place? If so, then a note like 25Avalon suggests should be sufficient and not unnecessarily aggressive.

Bit too damn helpful... I think

25Avalon Thu 29-Jul-21 16:59:43

Put a little sign on saying thank you for your help but could you leave the bins where they are please. I have more recycling to add.

Could it be a 'helpful' neighbour?

User7777 Thu 29-Jul-21 16:52:13

Am I unreasonable. I like to put my recycling boxes near fr door ready for next day. Just incase I need to add more stuff. Some damn fool keeps taking it and putting it out early. 3pm previous day and collection not till next day. Adverse weather can blow it everywhere and foxes and other animals can feast and make a mess. The distance between door and bins is 25ft. I dont walk very well. Cant seem to catch the culprit
