BRENTWOOD, NH (WMUR/CNN) - A New Hampshire homeowner is under court order to clean up his yard that's littered with thousands of boxes.
If he doesn’t, the town will do it for him and stick him with the bill.
Meanwhile, his neighbors are hoping their community will finally go back to normal.
Michael Bates found himself back in court after failing to clean up his property in Salem, MA.
The town estimates that there are some 2,000 boxes containing printers in the yard.

Rats is the secret code word to get the health department involved.
When I lived in Southern NH there were virtually no zoning rules. You would see a double wide with three generations of cars on blocks literally next door to an $800,000 home.
On one hand all this kind of regulation was done locally. On the other hand it was almost impossible to enforce. The Sheriff would go out ten or twelve times with warnings, citations, etc.
It was fun to watch the old Yankees get into it with the flatlanders.
Not in NH. Welcome to live free or die.
In that part of NH there are very few zoning laws.
His property is in NH. Salem is a town right over the MA border. They are not discussing Salem MA.
Sadly, not so any more, according to the Supreme Court!
If your city wants your property to sell to, say, Condo developers that would pay higher taxes than you do - bingo, it’s theirs, for some chump change!
Oh no, we still do it. We’re just careful to not get caught. Oddly, after the first five, it rarely happens any more.
It’s peaceful and quiet, but I kinda miss the good ol’ days.
Yup. Everyone wants people to take their whine seriously, and so they invent imagined dangers in an effort to spur government action to get what they want.
"For the Children" is another such attempt to spur government action.
What I would love to do those ultimate embodiments of evil, the printer.
Goes triple for HPs.
I am related to some pack rats. As for me, I get rid of what I don’t want or need.
Anyone need a military surplus signal keyer or and elevator pulley with a brake?
“If he paid for the property it is his to do with.”
would it be OK if he wanted to manufacture nitro glycerine, plutonium or anthrax?
He is a specialized type of hoarder. Its rather sad, its a mental illness that is very difficult to deal with.
Too bad Gary Larson retired, I see a potential Far Side cartoon in this one.
This guy makes garden gnomes look good.
“Albert’s experiment based on the ‘give a hundred monkeys a hundred typewriters theory’ had gone terribly awry.”
I don't think hoarding is the issue in this case. It appears to be a poor business plan. He likely couldn't afford to dispose of the "INK JET" printers after trying to resell the used cartridges he removed from the printers..
Clearly the man insane.
Umm no. That is not how it works when you live among others. You cannot create a hazard, blight, a nuisance, an impediment to others enjoying their own property. You don’t get to turn your SFR zoned property into a junk yard. Let him buy acreage out in the middle of nowhere with no restrictions on property usage. Even then creating a hazard would not be permissible.
I can imagine why the health department was called. What the “journalists” left out or failed to learn was why, in the first place, was the man collecting the boxes. That, not the public health issue, is the question/mystery.
I bet he inherited the property. If he paid for it he wouldn’t have let this happen.
