Poll: Is it okay for neighbours to use your rubbish bin?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There has been a lot of discussions lately about the neighbourly etiquette when it comes to rubbish bins. We're sure everyone has had a moment when their bin is full on collection day and the question arises around what to do with the rest of the rubbish. We're keen to hear what you think - is it okay to put rubbish in a neighbour's bin?
