Title: Putting trash in your neighbor's cans on the curb Post by: BuccaneerBrad on August 22, 2019, 10:26:57 pm My neighborhood garbage collection day is Friday, so naturally, people ot their garbage cans out Thursday night. Sometimes they do it earlier in the afternoon.
This afternoon, me and my girl were out walking our dogs. One of them pooped on a neighbor's front lawn, so I picked it up with a bag. A block down the road, we walked by another neighbor's trash can on the curb and I opened it and dropped the poop bag in it. My girlfriend proceeded to berate me for doing something so stupid. I told her that it's not like I walked to the side of the neighbor's house and did it. Once a can is on the curb, it's fair game for trash. What do you guys think?

Probably best to put that in your own trash. If it was a candy wrapper, nah.

Friday afternoon after pickup, but before neighbor puts can away - not okay. Title: Re: Putting trash in your neighbor's cans on the curb Post by: Dave Gray on August 23, 2019, 10:02:05 am ^ Agreed. I thought the context here is that the cans were out for collection and he added to existing trash.

Title: Re: Putting trash in your neighbor's cans on the curb Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on August 23, 2019, 11:47:28 am Me too. Not sure the cans would have been out otherwise. I realized that this instance it was pre-pickup. But I have seen it done post-pick up too. Trash gets picked up 9.30 am, dog walker goes by at noon, homeowner gets home 6pm.

Some owners leave their cans out late on Friday even though recycling comes by around 8 am and regular garbage around 10 am.

I don't think I'd do it but I don't consider you wrong if it is pre pickup

People are friendly but mostly keep to themselves in my neighborhood Title: Re: Putting trash in your neighbor's cans on the curb Post by: pondwater on August 23, 2019, 08:31:05 pm Random neighbor. People are friendly but mostly keep to themselves in my neighborhood In a mid income neighborhood it's probably ok. But in the top or bottom end, rich or ghetto. You'll probably go to jail or get shot, lmfao......Title: Re: Putting trash in your neighbor's cans on the curb Post by: masterfins on August 28, 2019, 03:35:27 pm Pre pickup no problem (I admit that I do that regularly). Post pickup, no way, the neighbor doesn't deserve that smell all week.
