Garbage Cans out all the time (Hempstead, Nassau: home, garage, driveway)

[peabodyn]

Yes, I know this is a minor thing - but the neighbor never brings their garbage can in from the curb.

Are there sanitation "laws" in Nassau County (Town of Hempstead) that address this - or am I just making too much of this?

From the Town of Hempstead website "Place at curb prior to 6 AM on your regular collection day and no earlier than 7 PM the night before."

Be a good neighbor and say something don't go behind his back.

My thought was to say to the neighbor "you have such a nice looking home, why would you want to have a garbage can in front of it all the time?"

Just keep running them over by accident.

Yes, it's against town laws, and it is ugly. Is the guy old or handicapped? I bring my old lady neighbor's can up to the garage every week. Maybe just bring it up the driveway and they'll hopefully catch on.
