Bringing home job site trash…

[ka0tyk]

What’s a course of action for a neighbor that continues to bring home job site junk and process it in his front yard? Today’s project is breaking a French door window and getting broken glass everywhere. Then leaving the pieces on the sidewalk in hopes a recycling truck comes around.

I get it, working guy but it’s every day he’s outside cutting sawing breaking stuff and dumping it in his trash abs overflowing or leaving “recycling” out for someone else to come clean up. Why cant he just take his junk to the dump like everyone else?

I’ve caught him bringing home lumber and burning it in a bonfire pit in his backyard. During the summer it’s 80-90 and I can’t open a window because there’s smoke from a fire that nobody is enjoying. It sucks. One time it was pressure treated lumber after I peeked through the fence and the smoke was horrible.

Im guessing theres a.local ordinance about broken glass on the sidewalk. Put him on the City Inspectors radar.
As for firepit in his own backyard....... ask him politely not to....... or youre starting a war.

This same guy complained about your bus?

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Good luck.. that is a nearly unsolvable problem.

Maybe bring in some rats .

 

[CLdrinker]

You open your windows when it’s 80 or 90
Outside?
That’s weird.

 

[hallett21]

I sometimes, and I mean 3-4x a year park our dump trailer in front of the house overnight due to missing the landfill operating hours. I always make sure it’s covered and smashed down so that all you see is the truck and trailer.

I feel terrible every time I do it. I would never start burning or demoing in the front yard [emoji15].

Side note there’s a “contractor” in our neighborhood who has had a full trailer for 2.5 years.

We live like a mile from the beach. A breeze is nice.

 

[hallett21]

Honestly on the pressure treated lumber maybe call 911 and say there’s a fire in the neighborhood?

Broken glass not sure how you handle that.

Is he using the house trash cans to throw away the job site trash?

Yeah but honestly I dont care about that. I follow the law, we're permitted and legal thats all I care about. Obviously I wouldnt want someone parking a giant thing on the street either but rather that coming to us like a neighbor and asking, they went straight to the city. Which they were told to go pound sand.

yes and when he brings it home its whole in the back of his truck and then he spends all afternoon/evening "processing it" into small pieces...

He sounds retarded. His time must be worth pennies if he spends time processing trash and not taking it to the dump.

So he’s too cheap to pay the $55 minimum load.

Is there some rule about dumping commercial trash in residential trash cans? I wanna say I've heard somewhere before and it's a no no.

 

[Rotten deal]

It could be worse. Looks like he has a nice clean yard and no extra cars on street.

With this in mind...

I'd be on the city like white on Rice. Take them pics and whatever else you got.

Fuck that guy!

If I had leftovers from a job, a trashcan or so, I used to saw it down into smaller bits on site. Then when I got home, just fill the can. If it were a truckload, different story. Usually, being in roofing, I'd have the rafter tails and fascia that needed replacing done the day before the tear off crew. They'd pick up the trash I piled the next morning with the rest.

Ot was bad enough I had the only work truck in the neighborhood, never wanted to draw more attention than necessary.

 

[WYRD]

Personally I'd say live and let live, issues with neighbors are never good and it looks like he keeps his yard nice. Fires might be an issue, loom at the city ordinances likely they don't allow open pit fires or at least without a burn permit.

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

Get a hockey mask and a chainsaw. Stand near your palm trees and appear to trim them. Stalk back and forth revving the chainsaw. Do this everytime he's out there. See if he gets the hint.

I hate neighbors. If I had the money I'd buy their house and have it demolished.

I definitely couldn't afford my neighbor's house before I moved. So, I moved where the lots are quite a bit bigger.

Now I can walk around wearing nothing but my goalie mask

 

[HALLETT BOY]

Call CARB and talk about toxic particulates coming from his backyard

 

[ElAzul]

Call the city tell them you saw him throwing away moldy popcorn ceiling pieces and old weird looking insulation while he was wearing a tyvek suit

 

[Bowtiepower00]

Park yore bus in front of his house. Lol.

 

[HCP3]

I bet his demo bids are cheap. No dump fees.

 

[gqchris]

Im going thru this right now remodeling a bathroom at my house and its driving me crazy! I called the trash company to schedule a special pickup, they no showed. So now I have been breaking things down and processing it and feel like shit doing it. Im about to go hire a junker at home depot and come get this. Its not even that much. Its only been a few days, but still!

So I cant imagine a neighbor doing that shit daily. In surpised the trash company is lifting his heavy cans. One time my buddy tried to fill the can and trash truck picked up can and it beeped, came down and guy told him “no construction materials!”

Or he’s padding his pockets with those dump fees [emoji106]

Those home depot guys are $500 a load here. I fill up my cans all the time with job site trash to save a trip. $130 minimum load charge. My house is in the hood though. And I have a dump trailer parked in front currently.

Dump trailer is a little unsightly but not as bad as the Gardner across the streets dump truck. His brother also parks his dump truck on the street and doesn't even live near there. It sits there majority of the time as they hardly use it.

Maybe go ask him to sweep up the glass?

Maybe just go broom all the glass up and dump it on his front porch?

But for him dumping trash in his trash, really?

I’m glad all my neighbors do what they want on their property and I don’t complain…

NO ..... 911 is not for that..... really need fire engine running through town for that ?

risking lots of lives for that...... just NO

 

[lbhsbz]

Tell him to keep the glass whole…I’ll take it for free…I go through a lot of glass on my blast cabinet

That’s how he can afford to live by the beach! The secrete of the 1%’s have been discovered.

He pays for trash service. Unlimited bulky item pickups on regular trash day. Neighbors like this are the worst.

I had a guy in the neighborhood who would walk around the corner out of the view of his house and smoke cigarettes and toss them onto the sidewalk and landscaping.

I went over there with a bucket and picked them up and dumped them on his door step.
He has since moved to a different spot to litter.

I'd have sex with his wife then call 911.

We have a neighbor clown here that has 8 of his millennial ADULT kids living with him at his house. On Trash night, he likes to sneak around and dump trash in everyone's normal filled cans. He is too fucking cheap to rent more cans from the trash company, I have told him multiple times. He asks, what's the harm? I told him I don't know what he has in those bags and I don't want my name or address attached to it! He looked at me like I was crazy.

So now, I watch my cameras and turn my sprinklers on if I see him doing it. First time was hilarious!!!

 

[Cray Paper]

I get it, neighbors doing shit you wouldn't and or not able to do but this sounds like a white collar professional bitch / whine fest. Dudes yard looks like he respects the neighborhood... takes care of his business... let it go. It could be worse. People that work in the trades are creative, in what they build and how they pay for things. are to

I paid for an Eliminator Eagle 25 XP mostly with recycled copper , aluminum and SS from a couple of jobs a decade ago..

@ka0tyk is better than this.

He'd sweep up the glass and ask the neighbor to keep the sidewalk clear... As he has kids playing on the sidewalk.

Hopefully the neighbor understands and keeps it glass free. Not trying to start a war.

If not, well, there's a bus that needs a parking spot. On Wednesdays. At 2 am. Or Sundays. At 6 am. Or something like that. Whatever works. Never know when you want to go for a little bus ride, right?

My neighbor was doing the same and topping off my trash cans with all his mail order boxes and packaging. I dont want any responsibility for his garbage... I set my cans out the morning of now.

As a joke... I would screw the lids shut on his trash cans.

id be 500% fine with you doing that as a neighbor. Hell I’d bring my cans over to help. You’re improving YOUR property not bringing home everyone else’s and dragging down ours…

… there is a reason that I have for the most part have tried to live very rurally… When I lived in the middle of the hundred acres at Lake Oroville… I didn’t have a neighbor for a quarter of a mile… but lesson learned… it doesn’t matter where you go or how far you are away from people… There is still going to be problems… I got some bizarre stories of my 21 years up at Lake Orovillle…
