Problem half solved! I phoned the council up this afternoon asking almost pleading with them to take the bags away. They said they couldn't do it as they had to send an inspector out to well inspect them. Why's that i asked Because they might contain dangerous substances they replied. I told them i'd looked in most of the bags and all i found was household rubbish. That didn't sway them. They still need to be inspected they replied. How long before they'll come out to do that i asked. Within 10 working days from today they replied. Why not 10 working days from Monday when i first reported them i asked. We don't have anything on screen to show you've reported them before they said!
That was it! I waited till it went dark then shifted all 27 bin bags onto the pavement.of the main road They're there for everyone to see. Maybe they'll inspect and move them a little quicker now, than within 10 working days?

So now you've fly tipped them?
FWIW the guys who empty our bins are always cheery and have a phenomenal work rate. Probably a combination of wanting to get the dustcart off the narrow streets and the pressure to complete their round in time I should think. It's a stinker of a job and I wouldn't want to do it so props to them. The chaps down the tip are always dead helpful too. Hint: if you want something carrying, bring a heavily pregnant woman with you

Did you not just tell him that the man who normally drives the dustcart is busy driving the gritter?

Somebody left a headboard from a double bed on our street a few years ago. It sat on the pavement for a few days, uncollected. One morning, it became swathed in lengths of 50mm wide yellow and black tape. "London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham: ENVIRO-CRIME SCENE". It stayed like that for about ten days before mysteriously disappearing. I'm not sure what the point of that might have been. Anyway, it made me smile knowing that our Council Tax is being spent productively.
