'Unit 6 only': Fed-up resident's wheelie bin warning for neighbours

A Sydney resident fed up with people using their rubbish bin has entered an aggressive street war by defacing their own wheelie bin to get the message across.

Photos were shared on Tuesday to a community Facebook page for the western Sydney suburb of Auburn, revealing a kerbside bin covered in graffiti.

The bin was shown adorned in expletives and threats against anyone else who used it, stating it belonged to “Unit 6 only” and ordering anyone else to “f*** off”.

Written in bold black marker were messages including: “Sick of you f***ing cockroaches filling up my bin … You f***ing lazy c***s can’t walk 20 feet to your bin … beware — don’t get caught!”

One of the messages claimed the graffiti was the “last f***ing warning” and if the offender didn’t use their own, “you’ll be in the bin next week”.

The pictures were shared to social media with the caption: “When you’ve had enough of your neighbours throwing rubbish into your bin!”

Some thought the aggressive rant was a great idea to get the message across, with one commenting: “Omfg [oh my f***ing God] I need to do this.”

“I’d get mad if I went to chuck my rubbish out and week after week it’s full with other people’s rubbish come on,” another said.

Others thought the tactic was a bit over the top.

“Relax mate it’s just a bin,” one man commented.

Another argued the bin got emptied regardless of whose rubbish is in it so “what’s the big deal?”

The post came a day after pictures were shared to a Melbourne Facebook page showing a number of graffitied surfaces with a message urging “Chris” to call a pregnant woman supposedly having his baby.
