Early morning bin lorry

    Hi,

    The bin lorry from one particular company that services the housing estate where I live arrives at about 5:30 a.m. every Tuesday. As this is one of the first stops on their circuit, the lorry is quite empty and consquently the noise of emptying the bins is a bit like banging a drum. This wakes my kids and causes me to be a grumpy fecker all day.

    Are they just being inconsiderate or are they breaking a law?

    Thanks.

    Interesting one... You would be claiming for nuisance if it went to court. Might struggle with unreasonableness because of locality though. I'd say it's to be expected that a bin lorry would be going around residential areas.

    First thing you should do is contact the company and tell them the problem and see if anything changes. If not you can contact a solicitor about making a claim for nuisance from them, perhaps get a little money and pay for some nice double/triple glazing to keep the noise out - they'd have to do something about the noise themselves as well.

    You can also bring a noise complaint to the district court , more on that here

    No solicitor needed.
