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.

We recently came close to buying a nice home in an exclusive area with a very strict Homeowners policy.
You were not even allowed to leave your car in your driveway...it had to be placed in the garage,
I quipped that the first thing I would do is string up a line of wet laundry, bras, underpants, greasy stained work shirts..etc
lol
And this is why I live in an HOA community. You’d NEVER see this. Yep cry all you want about an HOA but it does keep the riff raft out.
Wow!
We used to hang junk collectors?
-——If he paid for the property it is his to do with.-——
Not really.....
So if your neighbor decided to simply throw his trash and waste into his front yard right next to you home.....
You would not have a issue with an potential hazard mere feet from your home...?
When you buy the house you agree to abide by the HOA rules.
Don’t like it, don’t buy the house.
I own a house in a New Jersey Township and a house in Pennsylvania HOA, the New Jersey Township is 100x stricter and has over 5,000 pages in the code/law book on land use.
The HOA has only 100 pages, they do enforce it, but I never heard of anyone going to jail because their grass was 1/4 inch too high.
At least with the HOA, you get the rule book and sign a paper stating you agree with it.
When you buy a house in an non HOA, you don’t sign a single piece of paper stating you will comply with their rules/laws, and you certainly don’t get the 5,000 page code book either. And the rules/laws can change on whims and sometimes be enforced retroactively.
HOAs are at least up front about it.
I don’t think he was a hoarder, I read an article that this was some sort of business venture that went bad. Something to do with China not taking in plastics, and being stuck with the printers. I believe the printers were defective/returns anyways even though they were in boxes. According to the article he was reselling the ink cartridges out of the box but couldn’t recycle the printers, he ended up losing the warehouse he had his business and brought all the printers to his house.
So that’s what happened to those printers that I paid a recycler $5 a piece to take.
The answer is obvious. As to why he needs all those printers..
Obvious.
He found Hillary’s missing 300,000 emails and needs to print them all out.
He’s lucky a pissed off neighbor didn’t toss a match over the fence.

Haha
Our is strict. Nobody has gone to jail here either. Some fines I believe. Most they can fine is 5,000 so it deters but not completely. People in general like to get away with as much as possible.
I've always had a libertarian streak, then I moved to a small town where the city didn't really enforce any codes. It was insane. One guy ran a home and auto shop and bought up all the vacant buildings in town and filled them with 20 and thirty year old appliances. He bought vacant lots and filled them with junk. His back yard was solid junk. Another guy put a mobile home on a lot, but the lot was too small and the mobile home stuck out within about five feet of the street.
It’s Boxing Day every day!
Brentwood, NH is close to the Massachusetts state line.
A perfect example of the Massholes who moved *over-the-line* to NH, and spoiled places like border towns Manchester, Nashua, Rochester. A blight.
I understand, that this man is former resident of Massachusetts, and now lives in NH. His hoarding followed him from Mass to NH.
While that freedom is nice, it comes with its unintended consequences. If you are unlucky enough to have a neighbor who leaves junk in his/her yard, there is little you can do about it, if they do not have the same values for property, that you do.
Down the road from me....
...I'm quite sure it doesn't help my property value any. :(
thanx..i get it. just seemed strange...specially being reported by a Hawaiian newspaper.
