'Neighbourhood kids kept rolling their bins onto my drive so I took petty revenge'
It's likely some neighbours simply don't get along. Sometimes you might have a neighbour demand silly things, like getting rid of a dog so the kids next door can play in the garden.Disagreements happen almost all the time, but it's how you respond to a situation is what matters. One homeowner couldn't bear the kids across the street who kept moving trash bins onto their driveway, so they had to take revenge. In a situation like this, it might require a conversation with your neighbours or reporting it to the police, but this homeowner had other plans to be exact.Speaking in a forum on Reddit, the homeowner said: "The small rental across the street from my house is being rented by a young group of people."They always have 5-6 cars outside of their house, driveway filled, all times of the day. I place my two trash bins in my driveway before pick-up. Shortly after, I found a third bin wedged right in between them, stuff spilling out, can't keep it closed."After growing suspicious of the problem, the homeowner, which is thought to be from America, decided to check their cameras and as predicted, it's the kids across the street.The person continued: "I check my camera, sure enough, I see them pull it across the street to my driveway. I decided to roll the bin down the street to a local park."I get charged extra if there are more bins to dump. I woke up early the next morning. Their trash did get dumped, I'm guessing they thought it was a city bin. But it was already partially full of trash again, and they're currently missing their bin."After sharing the situation, the post garnered 1,300 upvotes and dozens of comments.One said: "Trashy neighbours you got there. Revenge was simple and to the point. One could hope they'll learn from it, but I have doubts about that."Another added: "I hope you threw it all over their yard. It's their s***, they can deal with it the right way."A third suggested: "Relocate it. Far, far away. Take some time to do this and leave it where they will never find it."What are the bin laws in Ireland?In Ireland, bin laws mandate the segregation of household waste, making it illegal to mix recyclable items or food waste with general trash. Households must use permitted door-to-door waste collectors or official civic amenity sites.You must separate your waste into three main streams, general waste, recyclables and organic/food waste. Meanwhile, brown bins are compulsory.
