Australian mum Brooke Bliss has confessed that she fills her neighbour’s bins on rubbish night when she doesn’t have enough space in her own.
“I wait until dark and put some garbage bags in other neighbors’ containers,” he said in a video posted on social media.
Bliss told Yahoo that her “lovely” neighbors didn’t mind her throwing excess trash into their bins, but she knows that may not be true for everyone.
“I mean, if your neighbors won’t let you do that even if they have room in their dumpster, then you’re going to have trash sitting on your property because you don’t have anywhere else to put it,” he said.
She asked if it was illegal or just bad trash labeling.
One Australian said that while the litter law was “not illegal”, it was definitely ” frowned upon “.
“Now everyone has cameras, be careful,” they said.
“I don’t think it’s a problem to do it (sic) as long as it’s in bags and doesn’t smell bad,” added a second.
“Be friendly to your neighbors and ask if you can,” said a third.
‘I do this every week!’ another viewer confessed.
A spokesperson for Port Macquarie Hastings Council told Yahoo that it “advises against” the practice without prior agreement between neighbors.
“Thank goodness in Vic we collect general rubbish weekly and I still run out at nine at night in my bathrobe throwing away the rubbish.”

“I totally do,” wrote another. “Once it’s on the sidewalk, it’s fair game.”
A Port Macquarie Hastings Council spokesperson said yahoo “discourages” the practice without prior agreement between neighbors.
“Some residents have agreements between neighbors to use each other’s bins, something that is up to the residents to agree to,” they said.
‘Unless there is an agreement, the city council advises against this activity.
