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.

That trash pile is probably visible on Google Earth.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days 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.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

Yep. Get a Pm2.5, CO2, Formaldehyde, and VOC sensor (roughly £20) and start recording the levels.

That's a health violation

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The trash heap has spoken!

[–] Event_Horizon@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Holy shit, is that fraggle rock?!?

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Fraggle Rock was the best show ever 🥹

[–] Event_Horizon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Core memories unlocked 😁

Was it the dozers who built everything, and then the fraggles ate it?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

A half-hour special called The First Snow of Fraggle Rock was recently released. Nothing fantastic, but it was nice to see them again. Junior has a sister named Princess now!

She hatched from an egg, so all I could think was "Not the mama, not the mama!"

[–] SpacePanda@mander.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, but, shes adorable lol

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Which is fitting because I am pretty sure snow would destroy their ecosystem and kill them all.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

No, they actually wanted the snow. I guess they're hardier than you'd think!

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

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

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

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

Show off 🥲

Is that the beach from MyHouse.wad?

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

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Hey Willard, how's Ben?

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 12 points 3 days ago

Do you want Skaven? Cause this is how you get Skaven.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 64 points 4 days ago (3 children)

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 27 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Saurok@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Alternatively, OP could try talking to their neighbor about it instead of getting the state involved. Maybe even offering to help them clean it up? Getting the authorities involved could cost the neighbor money or have bad repercussions and we don't know what their circumstances are.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

This was my thoughts too

A community connected could help sort this out and bring good into the world.

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

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

It will eventually get heaped on there no doubt.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Who’s your neighbor the trash lady from labyrinth?

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days 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.

[–] baggins@lemmy.ca 32 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 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 4 days ago (1 children)

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

That's quite the trash stack

[–] foggenbooty@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days 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 13 points 4 days ago

"Cast fireball!"

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

A “strategically 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.

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 4 days ago

That's a mighty fine trash pile right there.

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 12 points 4 days ago

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

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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 3 days ago

Not where I thought that was going...

[–] eru777@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Cute! Also the cat does not seem to care.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

The cat is probably keeping an eye on those rodents.
