"Last month, inspectors found more than 100 garbage cans in the driveway."

No wonder she lives alone.

I have no problem with someone living like this if they have a forty acre spread out in the country, where such an accumulation of trash really won't affect neighbors.""

Even forty acres won't give this a pass.

Rodents, West Nile Virus, Hanta Virus, all are a problem with accumulation of trash. Not a good thing for anyone within miles of this person.
We have a similar problem less than 8 miles from me. County actually sued them, and LOST. Says alot about the ability of the county DA. Anyway, the refuse and surrounding problems are grotesque. A real eyesore, and county AG agent has had to take deputies there to "discuss" with the owner the problems. Does wonders for the surrounding property values.

I don't see how cost could possibly have been a factor in the situation with my neighbor. To have garbage privately hauled in Lansing (as most families choose to do) is $42/quarter--about $13 a month. My neighbor was spending God only knows how much money on crack but she couldn't be bothered to spend $13 a month to have her trash taken care of. The cost of haulage may be exhorbitant in some communities; ours is not one of them.

Excellent points--you're right about the spread of rodent-borne diseases especially.

Dang, I'm a GOOD housekeeper and didn't even know it!

I hear that!

I've been trying to muster enough energy to straighten up the house tonight, but after reading this article, I'm not at all concerned about it!

(a sad attempt at justification I know, but hey- it works for me!)
