With that much cash involved each year I'd spend  time trying.  If they won't fit one that link said you can request an estimated usage bill instead of basing it on property value.

My bin men are great .. I put the bins just inside my entrance .. no gates..
They put them back on to my property..  They are always friendly...

The council informs us that the bins have to be presented on our property. They collect two bins on the same day and I've only got a gate so the bins get in each other's way. When they empty them the men leave the bins on the pavement... but we aren't allowed to. I suggested they collect different bins on different days and they told me that's the day and to suck it up.

I'm thinking of charging them for storage since there are so many bins. I think £250 per bin per year would be reasonable especially seeing as they charge me to park the car in the street.

I'll consider it but in our houses, the pipe comes out of the ground inside the house and feeds the next house so a meter would have to go above that junction. It's not in a convenient place. They actually installed a meter in the road where it feed six houses and sent me the bill which was £2000 as I recall. And they broke the stopcock and had to call another team to mend it.

And mine. It was the old street stopcock chamber and it's still possible to turn off from there. If you have the tool it's easy.
