England, Wales: Bin placement on driveways may be illegal

Storing bins on a shared driveway in England and Wales could be illegal, potentially leading to fines for obstructing a highway. The Highways Act 1980 prohibits blocking shared driveways, including by placing bins, as both households have a right to use the space. Legal experts advise understanding rights, communicating with neighbors, or seeking mediation or legal action if disputes arise over shared driveway use.
