Maybe take a dump in your own driveway to assert dominance
This is the way.
Make sure to keep eye contact with them while you're doing it too
Make sure it's their "own driveway too", not someone else's.
Hilarious! The OP needs help.
They might also want to remove their post about AGL to prevent themselves being Doxxed as the meter number can be used to find out the supply address.
Is it their driveway?
If yes then it’s not your problem.Is that part of the road directly in front of your house?
If no then it’s not your problem.OP made a 360 on the truth and revised their text.
do they have council approval? you could call up the council to ask what the regulations around cleaning maggots out of bins are.

Wow, Andrew Tate is here. x_O
I hope this comment doesn't get as many downvotes as my Jordan Peterson comment. lol.
Maggots are really small. How close are you getting?
OP was probably behind their own bedroom window, surveying the neighbourhood with a pair of binoculars.
Did you… try talking to them?
LOL.
Maggots can't talk…. 🤣🤣🤣
Well played
I did, and all,they said was… “what did OzBargain say when you asked them??”
Maggots can't talk…
They talk maggotese, you silly.
at least they are cleaning it, as annoying as the smell is..
Maggots are god's creatures too.
Speaking from experience, grab a goon bag, then begin guzzling as you lie down on their driveway. Then continually shout out "I'm getting maggotted".
Sorry op. It's just the road. Didn't think anyone cared.
Collect the maggots, put in dehydrator, put in a ziplock bag when done. Now you have a crispy protein snack on the go.
collect the maggots and go fishing , great bait
I have my own driveway also been on a communal driveway.
With the Perth heat the bins become awful within a week.
I rinse it with dishwashing liquid and hot boiling water, which kills the maggots, shake the bin then empty it onto road.
If required I will spray with antibacterial or wash again with pine-o-clean.
When I lived in a strata I would wheel the thing away from the communal driveway then wash onto the road to prevent anyone from getting upset.
Then my neighbours started doing it as they had enough of the stinky bins.
then wash onto the road
I don't think that is legal.
Is that a state law or council level one?
Yes it is.
@pegaxs: https://www.legislation.vic.gov.au/in-force/acts/environment…
and local councils will also have their by-laws about discharging waste on public land.
@jv: Care to point to the relevant rule in this legislation that says that you can’t wash out your bin and let that water run onto the road?
I am happy with council legislation as well if you can link to that…
Care to point to the relevant rule in this legislation
Ask your local council… They will point it out for what is relevant for your area.
and let that water run onto the road?
It's not the water itself, it's the contaminants it contains that then flow out to the waterways without any cleaning or filtering.
Ask your local council…
I did, and they sent me to this link to read about it… (Starting to sound like an anti-vaxxer with your suggestion for me to do your information searching…)
it's the contaminants it contains that then flow out to the waterways
Sooooo, a few maggots, some detergent and rotten meat and vegetable juice… On that note, no more washing cars in your driveway either? Wait till the council hears about what settles on your roof and gets washed out into the street every time it rains…
with your suggestion for me to do your information searching…
LOL
You are the one asking for the info…
You are the one asking for the info…
"LOL"
You are the one making the claims… The onus is on you to provide relevant sources, not for me to go looking for them. You cant make statements and then take the cooker approach and just say "Well, it's out there, go find it yourself…"
@jv: Hazardous waste (chemicals, e-waste, etc) are not allowed to be disposed of in residential bins so you shouldn't be putting anything in your bin that would pollute waterways anyway.
My neighbour is cleaning their bin in the driveway/ road and it is smelly with maggots, what to do?
Create a TikTok video.
What did they say when you talked to them about it? FFS…
When our council first started allowing food waste in the green bin, our bin stunk. So I got out the high pressure hose out and blasted. Dumped it into the drain just outside our house. The drain legit smelled like a farm for the next day or so
Few days later, get a knock on the door from someone from the council asking if we noticed a bad smell coming from the drain. Said I hadn’t noticed it, and I asked why. Said people have been complaining and they think it was probably a dead animal that got caught in there causing the smell
OP is not coming back i bet
That is quite a significant change between the OP and the revision! Talk about a plot twist…
OP: My neighbour is cleaning their bin in the driveway/ road and it is smelly with maggots, what to do?
Revision: My neighbour is complaining me of cleaning my bin in the driveway/ road and it is smelly with maggots, what to do?This may require the help of a medical professional.
Maybe OP is both himself and his neighbour. After all, ozbargainers all own multiple houses
This is what I was wondering too. Surely, there is a edit somewhere and the shoe is now on the other foot. Thankfully, this wasn't a question for a 'friend'.
Hilarious, is there someway for us to bump these comments to the top?
Lol… nice ninja edit, OP.
Also, pull your head in. It’s a few maggots and there is no way you can smell it from inside your house. Added to that, the smell will be gone in about 5 mins as the sun’s UV breaks down the bacteria causing the smell.
Or, you know, they could leave the bin full of maggots and just let it fester in the sun for a few days, get it real stinky so everyone can enjoy it.
it is smelly with maggots, what to do?
It sounds like you are doing it wrong.
You are NOT meant to unload you weekly garbage onto the drive way and hose it down as a way to empty it.
You are meant to let the garbage truck unload the garbage it FIRST, then clean it. Also you are meant to put sticky/smell crap into garbage bags, so they don't stay stuck onto your bin.
Also you are meant to put the garbage bags
Are they single use plastic bags?
I was reading all the comments thinking how did everyone not understand what the OP said but then realised the OP is the crazy one, not the people replying to this thread.
Ditto
I did the same until I read the revision history… I was then like "OH!! These comments makes WAY more sense now…"
It's not the maggots that are creating the smell. They are cleaning up the waste.
Google says they smell like ammonia.
if you don't want a smelly bin with maggots or at least reduce it, have a look at what you are putting in it.
i find seafood especially prawn shells is what usually causes the most problems.
when i know i have stuff that will trigger it, i usually just seal it and leave it in the fridge/ freezer for a few days before throwing it out in the binYou're not supposed to put prawn shells in your own bin
agree, i said throw them out in the bin, i didn't say throw them in your own bin.
Why do you have maggots in your bin? Thats the more interesting question.
Most likely rotting food, not bagged properly. Bunnings sell ECO Bags, and spray them with deodoriser if necessary. Spraying the Bin daily with Atlas Fly spray helps.
Yeah, bag it properly… lol. Plus why is the OP being a clown and using someone else's driveway?
Don't properties these days have their own drainage systems… Gee. Get a clue.
Are you Chinese?
My nrighbour frw doors foen does this in front of my place not her own. Shit in the bin and leaves all the crap behind.
Wow pretty racist dude.
Are you Chinese?
If you clean your bin on your driveway, then you are a Chinese fella. Nice logic, bro!
If you're the one cleaning your maggot-filled bins on a shared driveway with me, I will do the same and complain. Imagine those maggots being crumpled by my wheels then my garage will be filled with bacteria, so you better just clean that bin in your property, backyard or whatever, otherwise we will be featured in a "Neighbors At War" tv episode.
How often are they cleaning it lol?
