Re: my trash bin is not your dog restroom !

For the last two weeks, someone has been playing a prank with my kitchen garbage -- taking it out of my large garbage can on the front porch and (first) dropping a small package on my front sidewalk, then (last night) opening the small plastic bag in which I had put garbage and placing the contents of the small bag on the street in front of a large garbage bag I'd set out by the curb. -----Original Message----- From: Danielle Lafe <dglafe23(a)gmail.com> Sent: Apr 7, 2024 7:14 PM To: <neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com> Subject: Re: my trash bin is not your dog restroom ! I’m not sure how to write in about this - but this is happening more and more. I just witnesses it with my own eyes in addition to the many times I see it on my camera. Can neighbors please understand that the sanitation workers will not dispose of the loose poop bags you can’t wait a block and half to dispose of at your own home. It goes straight to the bottom of our bin and we have to then pick up YOUR large dogs poop from the bottom of our bin and put it in OUR trash for the next week to be picked up.

I have a similar issue with this on North St. Clair and truly hope that our neighbor who is doing this would stop. This is not neighborly but quite very disrespectful. In addition, the trash collection employees will not dispose of the bags. Please don't use other people's bins to discard your trash. And, apologies for tacking onto this thread -- because I thoroughly enjoy this informative listserv!
