I would advise keeping the bins closed and shooing the boars with noise, so they will be afraid of people.

Wild boars in several towns of Poland and Germany learned to feed in rubbish bins and ignore people. Usually, it became their regular habit. After a short time "oww, how cute" it ended badly for the boars. They were shot, or in more conscious towns, caught and relocated to the forests far away.

Any chance of translocating "surplus" boars into other British forests?

Perhaps Mr Laughton will learn to keep Jamo (the screaming dog) on a lead in future!

You may have seen in the media how the Uk grinds to a halt the moment a few flakes of snow hit the ground - that was why there was rubbish beside the normally impregnable wheely bins - no collection for a couple of weeks due to weather!

Well ,this is how they treat their wild boar in Estonia,they feed them everyday to say nothing about the rest of their wildlife,perhaps there's a lesson to be learnt somewhere!!!!!
