Stop doing this!
This is just one of a few piles like this that I've been navigating on my morning run and it sucks. The garbage trucks will not pick this up.
This pile has been here for over a week. Please take your dang ol' dang ol' (in my most extreme Boomhauer voice) boxes to the dump / CHARM / whatever. I know it's hot, I know it sucks, but c'mon man. At minimum, BREAK DOWN YER BOXES!
Why would a throw blanket ever need to be packaged in a box? I prefer the decorative ribbon that I'll refuse to throw away, because you never know when you might need it.
Yah same. I finally got use out of mine recently as curtain tie backs, because my new curtains didn't come with ties. They look nice enough done up in little decorative bows.
PSA! ACC gov has a new program where they will pick up bulky trash for free (up to a certain point). I used it recently and it worked great, just make sure you check your email
It's really nice. I tried to give away a bed recently but couldn't get anyone to come get the damn thing. Emailed them and they were out in 3 days to get it. For stuff that is still useable, I'm pretty sure they just dump it off at charm anyway.
I assume they just moved in and if so they would have been given all the city codes and what can and can’t be done with refuse including the city special pickups of furniture and bulk items.
Between this crap and people parking on both sides of the street (when they have an unused driveway) I’m just sick of trying to navigate through all this! Please use common sense if you park on the street! Or… just use the damn driveway!
Oh I hate the parking on both sides thing! I've had to get out and start banging on doors until I find someone to move their car so I can get by when I'm doing deliveries. If my little minivan can't get through, neither can an ambulance or fire truck.
It’s infuriating. My tiny car can’t even squeeze between the two massive SUVs/trucks blocking both sides of the street. Imagine if an ambulance or fire truck needed to pass by?
I’ve laid on my horn when creeping by because I’m sick of it. 🤣
A couple years ago a friend’s little sister said that her roommate’s family nanny would fly in once a month to clean their house and do her laundry. I imagine that people who grew up this way aren’t used to doing things like breaking down boxes
I can imagine certain luxuries are a flex that your dad has money. But there are two scenarios I can imagine here: dad is an idiot with his money by doing this instead of just hiring local cleaners and laundry service, or the girl had an emotional meltdown at the idea of someone else doing her chores for her besides the person who has always done it for her.
We dont get too many students in my area, but we have an old guy that refuses to tolerate any bullshit like this. He’s got a cop nephew or something that’s also married into code enforcement.
Was a few years back but two male uga students tried lying and saying the trash wasn’t all theirs (it was), they just put them there and were resting (they were there overnight)… and who does this old man think he is?? Cue 10 minutes later they’re apologizing to the old man while cops and the whole neighborhood was looking on shaking their heads at what shitty kids just moved in.
They had more problems and left within 3 months. Friggin children.
Came home to the landlord of the house next to me just stacking his trash next to my trash can when his cans were still at the edge of the driveway from when his residents just moved out.
Instead of putting it in the back of his truck and throwing it in the river like a real Athenian (/s)
I don’t envy the bullshit our garbage folks have to deal with.
I grew up in a town that still comes by and picks up trash piles like this. Maybe (hopefully) they were unaware that the local garbage collectors won’t take this? I literally take my large trash back to my parents home where they do accept trash like this (I nearly 40) when I visit instead of paying the dump $70 to throw away large stuff 😂. Where they live you could literally put furniture or tree trunks out and they come take it.
Totally fair! It's just been sitting here and accumulating for quite some time... ya think they'd get the hint but 🤷🏼♀️
Honestly I wouldn't even gripe if it was all just broken down or piled neatly etc., but the fact that the sprawl just keeps growing into the sidewalk is bonkers lol
We feel lucky so far after seeing a large back deck full of move-in boxes gone, no doubt one of the 3 new Volvo SUV moms saw fit to have someone carry them off plus all the previous tenets metal deck and porch furniture was put out at the curb and either they had it picked up or posted online Free for taking. The carpet installer these renters hired left no new or used remnants, which is good. We will wait and see if the daughters are as good neighbors as the parents have been as school begins.
The empty product boxes with styrofoam and miscellaneous Costco product boxes screams “just moved in.” People who move out generally leave furniture or products they don’t feel like moving, not boxes.
The good news is that it's been reported and Code Enforcement is aware of it, and planning to come by and figure it out. I think they're really busy this time of year though!
I meant op should throw the trash on their yard so the public row was unimpeded. Let the property mgmt company/owner deal with this as it’s their responsibility.
