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?
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.
Well than it’s not working, because microbial action causes the smell.
I’m no scientist, but it seems to turn my food scraps into dirt without smelling bad.
It’s a garbage can, what harm can come from someone using it?
The harm is that I can no longer quietly enjoy my yard. Because it smells like poop.
And if you don’t want it touched, put it in your backyard or lock it.
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:
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 :)
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.
If you unlock it and wheel it to the curb, it’s not protected anymore. Now assholes have access to it. They can dump dog shit even after the trash has been emptied on the trash day.
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 irony of this comment is amazing lmao. You are the entitled one for thinking that you can use other peoples’ trash bins to throw away poop. Even
The hell happened with community spirit and being neighborly?
The hell happened with your community spirit and being neighborly? Throwing poop in others’ trash cans is asshole behavior. Have some community spirit and avoid doing that to be a good neighbor.
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.
You’re saying that you just dump trash straight into the inside bin and then empty that straight into the outside bin without ever using a bag at any point? You do whatever ever you want inside, but for the outside bin, it depends on your jurisdiction and who holds the contract to collect refuse. In my county, and per rules of the refuse company that hauls the trash, all trash must be placed in bags inside the bin. Unbagged trash is not collected, as in, they literally will not empty the bin until you bag it.
Also, unbagged trash has a higher chance of spilling when it’s dumped into the truck. Our trash always makes it into the truck, but a lot of recycling ends up in the gutters or blowing down the street because it’s unbagged.
Yes, I’ve been doing it for years. It actually seems ridiculous to me that not bagging your garbage would lead to them not picking it up, but so does the idea of a private garbage corporation. The city picks mine up. They never complain and I never find my garbage in the streets. I’ve never seen them drop any recyclables either, and basically everyone in my neighborhood recycles at least to some degree.
My household also don’t throw much away. We compost nearly 100% of our food and pet wastes and most of our cardboard and paper, avoid single use plastics, and recycle. Usually our inside bin doesn’t even fill up week to week.
I also limit what goes in our trash and only put out a bag or two a week. And our city is in charge of refuse and recycling but they contract out with a waste management company - the city doesn’t have its own dump or recycling facilities (and this has been my experience in cities big and small across the country.
I watch the trash and pickup process a lot (because of a toddler) and what I’ve noticed is that bagged trash gets picked up out of bins and thrown into the truck while the recycling gets picked up by the “arm” and dumped; that’s where the spillage comes from.
Regardless of our differences in garbage strategy, surely we can at least agree that threatening to decapitate someone for using your garbage can is, at the very best, completely insane.
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.

I don’t really know what you’re saying anymore. I tried to engage politely. Moving on now.

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.

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.
Are you dumb on top of being an asshole? How on earth would garbage collection take the garbage if I lock the bin and hide it away?
… you unlock it when you wheel it to the curb for pickup.
You call me dumb and you couldn’t think of this simple and very easy solution…?
If you unlock it and wheel it to the curb, it’s not protected anymore. Now assholes have access to it. They can dump dog shit even after the trash has been emptied on the trash day.
You seem to have an issue conceptualising experiences that are not your own.

Oh, yeah, we are in agreement there.
