I have no direct knowledge of councils’ policies. You could call them and ask.
That said, if I am not mistaken, councils have the power to fine he who leaves his bin outside for an unreasonable period, but does not have to fine if it does not want to.
The fine would make the relevant home owner r- not the strata – responsible. Usually bins are marked so the council knows who is responsible and can fine the person directly. If the OC is fined, say the bin is not clearly identified, then all you need is to prove (eg photo) whose bin it is for the OC to pass the bill to that certain homeowner. If you’re really fed up with the situation, pass the photo to the council explaining whose bin it is. That way, in case the OC is initially fined, in the future the person responsible for leaving bins outside will be fined directly.
