Wheelie Bins

[Barquentine]

My local council has started providing wheelie bins for everyone in the borough. Instead of clean, tidy, obstacle free front gardens and pavements we are about to be blighted by the further degradation of our 'society' with neighbours now forced to display their human waste in front of their houses.
I have searched for but cannot find any primary or secondary legislation that gives the council any power to require a householder to move the bins from the pavement once delivered. Legal ownership of the bins remains with the council and any allegation of obstructing the footpath should be directed at the council provided a householder never moves a bin inside their boundary.
A recent case in Liverpool upheld this argument by a householder.
I intend to leaflet my borough advising everyone that they can charge rent to the council for use of their property if they store bins within the curtilage of their hereditament.
Can anyone think of an argument against my proposition that a council will be ultra vires if it attempts to force storage within the boundary of private property? Could there be implied easements/wayleaves for example? many thanks.

I would love to know where you put your rubbish before they gave you these new fangled monstrosities? Did it just disappear or did you have a pile of black bags outside your house on collection day waiting to be ripped open by vermin and other animals.
If you had to pay the council for the bin I would maybe understand (slightly) your gripe, however the council are giving you a nice shiny new bin with wheels that makes it easy to place in a convenient place and out of sight. If needed you could always buy a wooden wheelie bin storage area from one of the larger DIY chains!!

It's the whole legal angle I don't get - the question poster seems to know a bit about legal terms so I am wondering what is the real point of this question. Are they genuinely anti-wheelie bins or looking for some sort of reward for having to have a wheelie bin?

Or maybe it's coursework?

i think you might find you are in the minority...you can moan and leaflet all youy want but if no-one backs you up you are wasting your time
most people want wheelie bins - and couldnt care less about seeing their neighbours 'waste'
