Bins have not been collected for seven or eight weeks because of a road closure for a Sizewell C project.
Graham Lacey, of Fordley Road, Middleton, said he had hired a skip to remove some waste with assistance from Sizewell C after East Suffolk Council stopped collecting his rubbish.
The council has now agreed a collection schedule for his property, starting this week.
His road is partly closed because of work on the Sizewell Link Road.
The 6.5km route is being built to carry construction traffic from the A12 south of Yoxford to the B1122, near Mr Lacey’s home.
The council told him its waste vehicles could not reach the property because the closure at the Fordley Road junction with the B1122 meant bin lorries could not turn around.
Mr Lacey said: "The first week after the road closure, our bins were not emptied and it has gone on since then every week and we have been in contact with various councillors and the head of East Suffolk Council, but we did not get any response."
He said Sizewell C had helped with the skip.
Mr Lacey also questioned why a vehicle belonging to building firm Jewson could use the road.
He said: "They are still getting our full council tax, but we are not happy because for no fault of our own, we get absolutely nowhere and we are just sick and tired of it all."
Mr Lacey said Jewson had managed to drive a 26 ton lorry along Fordley Road without problems.
He said the council’s vehicles could reverse if they were unable to turn.
He added: "If people can drive properly, they can reverse any size of vehicle," he added.
Mr Lacey said his property was the only home in the road that council workers could not access.
An East Suffolk Council spokeswoman said: "Working with colleagues from East Suffolk Services Ltd, we have agreed a new collection plan for this property, with a one-off collection of all waste types scheduled for next week to clear the backlog, and a new collection schedule starting after that.”
Sizewell C declined to comment.
