Don't tell anyone, but I myself almost always put my trash in someone else's bin. Not the recycling, I'm scrupulous about that: but because I recycle and/or compost almost everything, I produce so little trash it never seems worth the effort to drag out the wheelie-bin just for the sake of one wee bag. Not when all my neighbours have room in theirs, and it's just garbage, for heaven's sake, and all the bins technically belong to the council anyway. And they all leave their bins out in the alley all week rather than taking 'em in like they're supposed to, and...
And, and, and. My arguments are well-rehearsed, in anticipation of being caught. I feel for your neighbour, exceedingly. (But I wouldn't be squashing an excess of stuff into someone else's bin; for that I'd wheel my own out, as I do with the recycling when it's full. It seems impertinent, to use up all of someone else's space and then some.)
