A few years back I rented a small office building for my business that had its own dumpster and parking spaces in the back. I did not anticipate that either would become a problem but they did.
The dumpster, oh what a pain. I would come in Monday morning and it would be full to overflowing with somebody else's garbage and broken toddler furniture, the kind of stuff we call Big Plastic ****. Posted a sign, did no good, full again the next Monday morn. Got a chain and a sturdy padlock. That stopped it. But I had to remember to remove the chain on the morning they picked up the dumpster.
There was one regular parking space and one handicapped. Sometimes I would arrive at work in the morning and my space would be taken, usually by some idiot having coffee at the restaurant next door. I put a sign up. It did no good. I started going into the restaurant and announcing that whoever parked their beige-mobile on my property was about to have their car towed. The restaurant folks, hippies with whom I otherwise had a good relationship, did not discourage their patrons from parking there either. They would actually suggest it to people. They had a 20 car lot of their own, yet they felt they could have their friends park on property I paid for. This behavior continued until I moved out. I saw recently they'd gone out of business and frankly, I'm happy about it.
Courtesy, decency, respect: Alien concepts to some people. Crazy lady in the OP had finally been pushed too far.
Twice weekly garbage pickup? Ours is the first Friday of the month. We also have curbside recycling every other Friday. Curbside meaning we haul it up a 600' gravel driveway. We compost foods and landscape debris like weeds except for meat and dairy. We try to reuse, reduce, recycle. We also live along a popular mountain bike route so don't mind if someone drops a baggy in before pickup. Afterwards, no. There is a garbage can or two of the trailhead kiosks a block or two up the road.
Seriously...its trash people!!! Some people just find any reason to be pissed off.
No, it's not just trash...it's dirty, filthy, stinky, dog crap...if you own a dog you pick up after it and either put it in your own trash (preferably) or public trash cans.
