This is the view out the northern window in my bathroom. My neighbor has been cleaning their yard for years, which has just involved them piling garbage in a trailer. The trailer has never been emptied, and At this point I doubt they could move it without the majority of the trash falling out.

Luckily the fence on that side of the yard is 6 feet, so I do not really see the trash under normal circumstances.

Depending on your locality, your town, county, or state may have laws against this. They're often health department statues against providing something that attracts pests like rats and snakes.

[–] SpacePanda@mander.xyz 26 points 2 weeks ago

Came here for this, call housing code enforcement. If they exist where you are.

I think the cat is happy with the view

[–] howl2@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Probably enjoying the entertainment all the rodent activity provides

[–] baggins@lemmy.ca 31 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

Do you really like your neighbor? Do you not live somewhere that has property standards? Trying to figure out why you would put up with that next door

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah this is a case where some kind of HOA or city blight regulations would actually be a good thing.

Stick a hedge made of cypress trees or something else dense and tall there?

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

no bylaws against stuff like this? we typically have bylaws against this for reasons like rodent attraction

They just don't want me to build my rat army because I will become unstoppable.

When I clicked to see the image, I was honestly expecting the trash pile to be a Tesla Truck.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

It will eventually get heaped on there no doubt.

[–] foggenbooty@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago
  1. It's hilarious that the "too lazy to empty the trash bin" behavior can scale like this. Worst case for me is I pick up a couple things that fall when I empty it. For them... well as you said it doesn't appear emptiable!

  2. I was skeptical this cat shelf design would hold, but I picked one up and for the last year it's been my cat's favorite thing. Highly recommend them. Just make sure the suction cups aren't warped, you put them in hot water, clean the window, follow all instructions etc.

A strategically placed incendiary device would take care of that pile.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

"Cast fireball!"

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 8 points 2 weeks ago

And all the smoke will make some nice new stars.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

A β€œstrategically placed” incendiary device that is placed in your next door neighbor’s lot? Right over the fence from your own house? That doesn’t seem very strategic at all.

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 12 points 2 weeks ago

You might not see it under normal circumstances, but I'm sure you smell it.

That's quite the trash stack

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Man could you just imagine what could happen if someone walking by just happened to flick a lit cigarette or 20 into that pile?

I was thinking a "poorly aimed" bottle rocket "from a neighbor kid".

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 weeks ago

That's a mighty fine trash pile right there.

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago

That trash pile is probably visible on Google Earth.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I would probably send it a complain to the city.

Although you might not see it often due to the fence (can you not smell it) that much garbage probably is enough to cause substantial pollution being exposed to the sun and rain, and could also pose a fire risk if any batteries or chemicals made it in there.

There's a reason people can't just open up a business as a private landfill wherever they want.

See, this would be a good use of AI.

Just have skynet fly a drone over there and blow the pile to kingdom come.

[–] iggy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Not where I thought that was going...

[–] eru777@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Cute! Also the cat does not seem to care.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

The cat is probably keeping an eye on those rodents.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds like they've been contacted by their local solid waste department who was lazy about how most sanitary codes don't define garbage in a trailer as solid waste.

It's one of the dumber and common loopholes, but a health department with resources (legal and political) would actually require progress at eliminating the garbage since the loophole is based on staging waste for removal.

States and local juridiction vary wildly.

I don't think you cat minds the view. In fact it probably attracts rats and trash birds which they likely enjoy watching

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Ha ha what a horror. Where do you live, and can't you do something about it?

Huge piles of trash might have a few batteries without the ends taped off and cause a fire, just saying

Who’s your neighbor the trash lady from labyrinth?
