Furious locals in 'the loveliest village in England' have dubbed it 'binhole' as unused bins pile up in the streets amid a row with the council.
Earlier this year Cornwall Council announced the rollout of new grey waste bins to be emptied every fortnight.
But residents living in the village of Mousehole say that while the new bins have been delivered,the old green ones have not been taken away.
Officials have had more than 10,000 requests to remove the old bins that locals say are leaving an 'ugly mark' on the community.
Residents have now renamed Mousehole 'binhole' - saying their quaint Cornish home has become ridden with seagull poo-covered bins.
They have also blamed second home owners - saying there are so rarely there,they may not be aware of the change over.
The Government announced late last year that it would end confusing household waste rules,announcing a new 'three bin' policy that means glass,food waste and garden waste will be collected from all English homes by 2026.
A drive towards 'simpler' recycling means different dry items – such as plastic,glass and cardboard – should be collected together in one bin.
The new rules will also require all councils in England to collect garden waste from 2026,although they will be allowed to charge for it.
