Who cares, it's all going to the same place. You parted with your trash, it's not like it's a storage bin for you to get stuff out of later.
As someone whose bin receives unwanted poop, the issue is that it goes straight to the bottom of the bin and never leaves because they don't lift the cans up all the way. Then it gets smashed by my own trash, so now I have a permanently poopy-smelling trash bin that receives weekly deposits.
I understand and sympathize with your frustration but did no one ever explain that you're supposed to wash those things out occasionally? 60 seconds with the hose on a semi-regular basis solves the problem. If that doesn't work then you can use can liners to prevent it.
It's not fair that you have to go through extra work or expense to solve a problem that someone else is creating but its better to take action than it is to sit there and stew over it.
Hosing it out doesn't help unless I do it every week.
I'm not stewing over it, it's the poopcan that's stewing in the sun until I come home from work.
So? Are you sitting on it to read a book? The smells mostly contained with the lid closed, and unless you have it right outside the window like a moron, it doesn’t waft in the house.
You realize people keep rotten compost piles I. Their yards… yeah?
So big a deal a bin you open a few times a week stinks, why are people making such a huge deal out of this?
I would much rather they pick it up and do this than leave the turd on the grass.
Are people seriously this fucking entitled that they can’t let someone use their bin so they don’t need to carry a bag…? The hell happened with community spirit and being neighborly?
Yeah, what happened to community spirit and being neighborly? And I mean you. You're acting like you're entitled to being an asshole for your convenience at the cost of someone else's convenience. Someone doesn't want you to use their stuff for your shit and somehow you think they're wrong? Get on board with community spirit and stop being an ass.
See attractive nuisance laws, if you have shit you don’t want people to use, protect it, or people can be feee to use it, or you will be held liable if someone hurts themselves if you don’t communicate otherwise.
If you don’t want it used, lock it up or put it out of site, society fixed this a long time ago, but people STILL want to be unneighborly shit heels and pretend they’re being part of the community but than cry when someone used their fucking garbage bin… give your head a shake, you’re being a hypocrite lmfao.
Are you a child? Are we discussing risk of injury? The attractive nuisance doctrine is irrelevant to this discussion.
Edit: Didn't realize you were the same person from the other thread who I already gave up on. I don't intend to respond.
You seem to have an issue conceptualising experiences that are not your own.
I like to sit outside sometimes and I don't have a very big yard. Believe it or not, the smell is not always contained to the bin.
I also happen to have a compost bin nearby. It doesn't smell like rotting at all.
Yes? I am entitled to exclusive use of my own garbage can. It's not public property. I feel like this is pretty obvious if you think about it.
If I had an apple tree in my front yard, passers-by would not be entitled to just take apples. If I had a bicycle in my driveway, no, you can't take it for a spin.
You’re right it’s not, so when it smells bad, clean it.
Well than it’s not working, because microbial action causes the smell.
It’s a garbage can, what harm can come from someone using it? And if you don’t want it touched, put it in your backyard or lock it. Are people not free to walk up to your house and touch your doorbell?
If I had an apple tree in my front yard that’s not fenced, yes the neighborhood could freely help themselves, obviously a bike is an entirely different situation, and using it as an example is fallacious.
Hmm, personally wouldn’t treat fruit trees like fair game unless they’re on public property. Seems many US jurisdictions would consider it petty theft or something.
Common punishment would probably be smart doorbell footage of the “burglar” going up on Nextdoor :)
It’s called an attractive nuisance and you could be liable if someone climbs the tree to get some.
Have some personal accountability for the stuff the public can access, kids aren’t always taught to know better.
I'm no scientist, but it seems to turn my food scraps into dirt without smelling bad.
The harm is that I can no longer quietly enjoy my yard. Because it smells like poop.
I have to take the trash to the curb in order for it to be picked up. I leave for work before they pick it up, so it's out all day. During that time, it racks up 3-5 dog poops, guaranteed.
You're being obtuse. A doorbell is intended to be used by the public.
The only thing I can think of is that you must not live in a city. We get a lot of foot traffic here from people who I haven't met and probably never will. If they all felt entitled to pick from my imaginary apple tree, it would be bare in a week.
Actually, I live in a high traffic area, so I know my bin may get used, I know an apple tree could be an attractive nuisance.
Some kid climbs your Apple tree, falls, now your liable because you couldn’t be arsed to know your locality or protecting you’re own fucking shit like you’re always supposed to.
Don’t be high and mighty and miss the fucking field beside you, your own examples are prime examples AGAINST being neighborly despite your bullshit spewing:
I don't really know what you're saying anymore. I tried to engage politely. Moving on now.
I have a compost bin in my kitchen, it gets pretty gnarly sometimes if I don't take it out for a couple days.
I also don't use garbage bags at all, the garbage can literally exists to hold garbage what the fuck are these people on about 😂 I hose mine out after trash pickup.
Imagine being so utterly Babylon that you threaten violent death on someone for using your garbage can. These people are lunatics.
