@classic33 the issue is we have the largest house on the street and there have been comments that "we're loaded". In Dewsbury
Most of the neighbours are fine but one or two take liberties. And the one/two conveniently ignore the pair of old cars sat outside.
i've also been clearing overgrown plants in a grassy area on the street for a several years as the council just cut the grass, so I'm guessing that they thought it OK as well to put their own stuff on my bin.
@Reynard in Kirklees it's £40 a year for a brown 'garden' bin, so not a huge amount when compared to tip runs over a year.
