Need armchair legal opinion trash hauler
Round here, folks contract privately for weekly residential trash
removal. The company provides one of those 95 gallon wheeled bins with their name on it which you roll out to the curb on pickup day. I've been unhappy with my current hauler for a while now so didn't renew service for the coming quarter but hired another company. I called the old company today to let them know I was done with them as of today which was my last pickup day of the quarter-- and asksed them to come get their wheelie cart. They said dit would be about 10 days until they could come get it and told me to just leave it out by the curb. I told them a few days storage was fine but a week and a half was not (ugly, smells bad, in the way, neighbors unhappy, etc.) but they said 10 days was how long it's going to take. I guess at this point, I have several options (charging them $10 a day rent to store their property on mine, escalating it to a supervisor, calling the county zoning enforcement division and complaining of their "litter" in my yard, etc. I guess what I'm looking for here is the easiest way-- really don't want to get into a ****ing contest over a stinkin' garbage can ... Any suggestions? |

Any suggestions? Hose it out and forget about 10 days. The trash company provided the can, but you provided the stink. If you had bagged all of the trash or washed out the can it would not stink. |

Steve The trash hauler probably has a scheduled route for picking up their containers. I see no reason to be ****y about waiting 10 days for the pickup. I'd probably clean it, too...that isn't rocket science and the user is the one who created the "stink". |

Well Red might be just being grumpy but in some areas if you leave your trash can out more than a day beyond collection day they will fine you. They did that in one area here because a bunch of lazy ass low lifes would leave the can at the curb and pile trash in it and over the top. That way they didn't have to haul the can out. |

Any suggestions? If I were you, I'd read the contract. If the contract requires you to wait a period of time, you're stuck. You cannot unilaterally charge them a storage fee. Doing so requires mutual assent, or a "meeting of the minds." There could be some other terms and conditions in the contract that are not favorable to the position you are threatening to take. Tread carefully. |

Strike that. I'd man up, wash it out, put it next to my garage, let it sit for the time they said, and if two weeks pass, I'd give them one more phone call and tell them that I was putting it to the curb. My bad.

Tread carefully. Reply: good advice. If the OP has to wait two weeks, I'd shoot off a registered letter NOW and tell them that according to their contract, they have xx days to pick it up, and after that it is no longer his responsibility. I somehow think, though, that they will be there sooner than ten days. But maybe with the holidays, who knows. Trash pickup is strange. Some friends we have in California have to buy stickers at $2 each, and put them on trash bags no larger than a certain size. They then have to take those sacks to the street - they live in the hills and are away from the paved street. And if an animal has strewn the trash, the guy will only take the time to grab the sack or what remains of it. Sacks must be sealed around the top, and there are definitions of "sealed". I have to take mine nearly 1/4 mile to the pickup point. Had to plead big time to get a second one, as they only pick up once a week. Steve |

Very likely, once it is at the curb, it is no longer on your property.

Any suggestions? Don't start with the new company until after the 10 days. Put it out at the curb and put your trash in it. When they pick it up, they can take the trash with it. If they dump the trash and don't take can, it is their mistake not yours. Doing it this way, you save money and all is good. Hank |

I've found that it's never a good idea to "burn bridges" and
really irritate folks. Never know, the new company might be worse. I've had that situation with cell phones. I swore I'd never go back to Verizon. But, they do have the most complete signal coverage.

That's not quite accurate Roger. The "stink" you refer to is coming from a bunch of wadded-up, fetid and fermented paper towels. Seems my landscape crew discarded them in the trash after drying their private parts following a stimulating hour long session behind the garage with your wife. They said she lured them back there with a crude promise of "caliente" sex. And just so you know-- I'm a straight-up and OK guy. She offered me a roll in the hay too-- but I flat turned her down. As to the rest of y'all, thank you so much for the many helpful suggestions.... |

I told them a few days storage was fine but a week and a half was not (ugly, smells bad, in the way, neighbors unhappy, etc.) but they said 10 days was how long it's going to take. I guess at this point, I have several options (charging them $10 a day rent to store their property on mine, escalating it to a supervisor, calling the county zoning enforcement division and complaining of their "litter" in my yard, etc. I guess what I'm looking for here is the easiest way-- really don't want to get into a ****ing contest over a stinkin' garbage can ... Any suggestions? Upgrade your service from curbside pickup to the level where they come to the house to get the can instead. It's only one week, so it won't cost but pennies and you can leave the can by the house. BTW...If the odor is on your list of why you don't want to leave it by the curb for 10 days, where do you normally keep it such that the stench doesn't bother you? |

I guess at this point, I have several options (charging them $10 a day
rent to store their property on mine, escalating it to a supervisor, calling the county zoning enforcement division and complaining of their "litter" in my yard, etc. I canceled my cable TV service. Then after two months they had not yet refunded the money they owed me. (This did show on the closing statement they sent me.) So I marched into their office and there were about 10 people behind me by the time I got to the head of the line... I then loudly informed them they were late with my refund and I was charging them a late fee! I said THEY charged me a late fee when I was late paying! So they should pay me a late fee as well! (Everybody including those working there thought this was great!) I got my refund right then and there, but they of course said they couldn't pay me a late fee. It was fun asking though and provided a bit of entertainment for everyone... |

Neighbors who think an empty, closed trash can set at the curb for a legitimate reason is an "eyesore" so offensive that it requires calling in local law enforcement? A man so vindictive that he is scrounging for ways to "get back" at the garbage man for some perceived injustice? If we all followed two simple rules, things would be a lot better for everyone: 1. Let your wallet do the talking. 2. Mind your own business. |

"Red" wrote in message ... Roger Shoaf wrote: "Red" wrote in message ... That's not quite accurate Roger. The "stink" you refer to is coming from a bunch of wadded-up, fetid and fermented paper towels. Seems my landscape crew discarded them in the trash after drying their private parts following a stimulating hour long session behind the garage with your wife. They said she lured them back there with a crude promise of "caliente" sex. And just so you know-- I'm a straight-up and OK guy. She offered me a roll in the hay too-- but I flat turned her down. She is already my ex-wife so she can roll in the hay with anyone she wants, so if she offers again go for it. But since it was your landscaping crew, it is still your stink. Good by troll PLUNK |
