Dozens of wheelie bins were found in a Mount Lawley backyard via satellite imagery.
Satellite images captured dozens of red, green and yellow wheelie bins filling a Mount Lawley backyard. Residents in nearby Highgate reported their own bins missing frequently, with one restaurant owner losing about 20 bins.
Residents say the person at the address has been hoarding bins for about a decade. Commercial bins are managed by private waste providers, not the local council.
