Recycling items dumped in my rubbish bin pe**** me off

It is annoying, especially as my bins are very clearly labelled as to what goes in which bin.

I have two solutions to offer. Fetch your bins in as soon as possible after they have been emptied.

Except on bin days, keep your bins so far away from the pavement, so as not to tempt those who can neither be bothered to read what each bin is for, nor to take their rubbish home with them.

My neighbours drilled through their wheelie bins and secured the lidswith a bike cable type combi lock.

We have to tie our lid up now, to stop people dumping their dog poo bags into our bin. They don’t even bother tying them up which makes a terrible stinking mess for us to have to deal with.

We get dog poo bags put in our black bin because we live near a park so dog owners are up and down our street on the way there or returning. Neighbours have also had this happen. Is disgusting and some neighbours have now stuck big notices on top of their black bins to try and stop this.
Some people just beggar description.

Every day for weeks now someone has put their dogs’ poo bag NOT tied up in one of my bins. I m so annoyed because my recycled bin and my green garden waste bin would not be emptied if it’s in there, if my rubbish bin had just been emptied it would be in it for two weeks.
So I have now put an elastic bungee strap (which I use to use for carrying stuff on my bike) on the bins from side to side to hold the lid in a locked position. So far it’s worked I just have to remember to take them off the night before emptying day.
Might be worth some of you trying that The straps are cheap enough. You may have one or two knocking around used for luggage, cycle racks, etc

When my tv aerial was replaced years and years ago I wondered where the old one was, assumed (wrongly) that the man had taken it away to go to the dump, until I found it in the bottom of my green garden waste bin.
Fortunately before I emptied a load of grass cuttings into it.

Someone put a load of polystyrene packaging on my recycling bin which is not even recyclable. I had to cut it up and put in my own rubbish bin… made me very
