Maybe, but I've had people dump their recycling bin on my lawn when they didn't get it picked up, so they can keep their trash. I'm not the neighborhood garbage dump.That'swhatshesaid wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 10:08 amI think she meant you digging through the garbage to see who it belonged to. That's a little nuts.Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 10:06 amRight? I didn't see how that meant I needed therapy lolOlioxenfree wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 9:48 am
We work hard to keep our trash down. The environment is important.
What would you have done?
It's actually two weeks worth of garbage, but the reason I did that is because someone has dumped their recycling bins on my lawn after they didn't get picked up and I'm tired of people just thinking it's ok to do that. They were out at the same time I was putting stuff out, they could have asked then, but instead they waited until I wasn't out there anymore to put it there.LiveWhatULove wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 9:34 am I'm don't think I would have done anything.
I'm seriously impressed, that your family only made a half of bag trash a week.
Maybe, but I've had people dump their recycling bins on our lawn before when it hasn't gotten picked up. My lawn isn't the neighborhood dump. They could have bought tags, brought it to the dump, ASKED... They had options. We were out at the same time putting things at the curb, they could have and should have asked then.LuckyEightWow wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 9:47 am Nothing. Literally nothing.
I wouldn’t have thought anything beyond noticing it, thinking weird while shrugging my shoulders and moving on. I can’t believe you went through, sorry but gloves or not, that’s simply over the top nasty.

I would have never went through the bag. If it happened just this once I would just complain to my husband what asshole neighbor but their bag there. That's all. If it kept happening then yes I would say something. Your yard is not a public dump.

If I actually knew who it belonged to, I'd also move it to their own pile. Don't put stuff in my yard without asking me. I doubt I'd say anything to them though.

My mother does this! Except she made arrangements prior with several of the neighbors. Distributes a portion of her trash into each of their bins and doesn't pay for her own trash service at all. I'd be mortified to ask myself! Especially since she's not hurting financially.
In your case I wouldn't say anything unless it keeps happening or creates a mess. But maybe part of that is my perspective living in a city neighborhood - so much trash gets tossed on the sidewalk or in my landscaping that I'm more than happy if they put it in my trash bin instead.

We usually only have one or two bags of trash every other week. Between the blue bins and the green bin there is not much garbage.Anonymous 2 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 10:19 am You're only allowed two bags of trash a week? What size are these bags?
