When you’re doing home renovations, such as redecorating or installing new flooring, you’re bound to end up with a lot of trash that you need to get rid of.
What would you do if your neighbor complained about the trash and you risked getting slapped with a hefty fine if you didn’t comply with the city rules?
Would you comply or risk getting the fine?
In this story, one homeowner is in this situation and complies in a way that’s sure to annoy the neighbors.
Let’s read the whole story.
I was having new floors put in / carpets ripped out because my mom was moving in with me ( end stage cancer ) and she can’t handle the dust mites.
I was tossing some furniture out at the same time and had a few pieces along with bagged carpet/tack strips under my carport….. cue my stupid neighbors sending the township to my door with a warning of 1,000 fine.
Trash must be in approved receptacles and not cluttered outside of your house.
Time to get petty.
Ok – cool.
So I paid $30 for a bagster, piled it high …..
And put one bulk item a week out for the next 24 weeks.
Just put the last nightstand out today…. crumpled up the bagster and put it in the trash can.
I bet the neighbors were really upset at having the bagster out there for 24 weeks.
That’s a long time!
Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.
