(Well, I have had just about enough of my neighbors. Trash piled up on the branch outside their door, yelling every night, kids running wild… )

She’s seen my building’s trash corral, I take it?
Someone’s been cleaning out their house, apparently, and somehow I doubt they have the Got Junk? guys scheduled to come get all the stuff they’ve piled behind (and next to, and in front of) the corral. The pile has been building for the last week. And not two weeks before we got an email about this very thing. I guess the rules don’t apply to some people.
No there are a whole lotta people out there exempt from a whole lotta things. Every once in awhile someone leaves an old decaying couch in the alley. ☹️
So the lucky people who have it behind their home usually have to pay to get it hauled away.
Here I should compliment our city: if there is an oversized item, just put it by the trash can and the driver comes out and throws it into the truck! If it is too big to be handled that way, a tag is put on it and it will be picked up later. We also have (expensive) yellow bags that can be filled with overflow trash that will be picked up, too. One can complain about high utility fees, but this is an excellent system, I think. We also have various sizes in trash cans to encourage less garbage.
I live in a condo community and our contract with the trash company does not include random bulk pickup. We get a dumpster three or four times a year; outside of that if you have things that can’t go in the regular trash, you are responsible for either taking it to the appropriate place yourself (there’s a recycling/salvage center in town) or arranging for it to be picked up. Also, the trash corrals (an enclosure with a bunch of large trash cans and recycling bins) are only for certain units; regular townhouse units have space to store their own trash can and they can put it out the night before pickup. The corral on my street’s corner is for eight units in my building only (my building has four two-story townhouses and eight flats; the other building on the street has eight townhouses). I wouldn’t be surprised if this pile of junk isn’t even from anyone in my section. If it ends up costing me an extra assessment I will be royally pissed.
Other areas (like my parents’ neighborhood of single houses) have bulk pickup a couple times a year where you can put stuff out on the curb (plus leaf pickup in the fall).
Thank you Mrs Kravitz. Or do you go by Karen?
Maybe it’s paws are cold? Haven’t you ever been caught without mittens when the weather turn cold? Armpits are very handy in that situation.
Damnn…that’s a robust squirrel. Things are lean up here in Southern Ontario for our grey and black squirrels. It’s hard out here for a squirrel.
Is it the raccoons? I bet it’s the raccoons. That sounds just like the way they behaved when I lived beside them.
