A little moral dilemma I’ve occasionally considered yet never succumbed to- if your municipality has free garbage service (or prepaid bags), and you miss pick-up and the house opposite has yet to be reached (may not be reached for hours, in fact), is it okay to put your bags on the opposing house’s tree lawn (can’t ask as owners work and are never seen)?

Just curious for opinions....

My neighbors and I use each other’s trash cans all the time and if someone goes to work and forgets to put their cans on the street, one of us will stop and roll them out.

Not really free as you pay for the collection via taxes.

Your question : seems ok .

One time my neighbors took my big city trash bin from my carport and rolled it to the street in front of their house and filled it with trash. I was furious because they had the stinkiest trash bin in the world. You could smell it from a 100-feet away! I didn’t want that stuff in my bin, LOL. Yuck!

Goes on all the time around here....shouldn't be any problem whatsover, unless there's a quanity limit per household.

Along that line, 80% of the neighbors have their cans out today, since Thursday is normal trash collection. I guess they already forgot that Monday was Memorial Day, and that always delays pickup one day.

Murphy's Law alert: It's supposed to get very windy this afternoon, meaning sh*t will be all over the 'hood all night long.

I wouldn’t, for the same reason I won’t take something left on the curb with a big sign saying “FREE” without knocking on the door and asking if I can really just take it :-)

You can do it, but you will go to hell when you die.
