A big note on the inside of the lid: "I'm watching you" ?

My JW family used to do the same thing to us, I would mention to the pompas Elder that this was the same as stealing. They just would not stop and I was afraid that the garbage company ( small family local business) would notice. Now they quit, they don't even want their garbage to mingle with my apostate garbage! That is what I was going to finally do, ask the garbage company what to do, they might have some good ideas. NMKA

Dump the full cans in his yard. He'll eventually get tired of picking up shit and stop filling up your cans.

OR,you could just ignore it.I mean,really,aside from his being rude and all,does it really hurt you? And,what if,he is having a really tough time and is embrrased that he cant afford to have his trash hauled away.What if you confronting him will put him over the edge and he will fall apart and get sent to the nuthouse leaving 3 babies and a sick wife behind?.Personaly,Id spray him w/freezing ice water and yell obscenities at him in Urdu,but thats just me...

I think I'd side with Aquagirl's take. Just ignore it. Not worth getting shot over. Believe me- people have been shot for lesser things

Could coordinate with your neighbours and make sure your cans are full?

Thanks all for your advise. Apparently this neighbor have been doing this over A year, I just found out A month ago when I went out to add more trash before the trash pick up,that,s when I notice my can was fill. We contacted our service provider about the problem, A notice will be sent to that neighbor warning him that he will be fine if he continue with the unauthorize trash use. We will see if this works.

Flipper/ Aquagirl: You right, I did not want this matter

to escalate to the point that you might read in the

news paper, "Neighbor wack neighbor on the head

with base ball bat". Why, because he use his trash can.

Paralipomenon: The neighbors where filling there cans,

he would still put his trash on top in bags.

I hope you get this resolved. The jerk is, in effect, stealing.

I live in a townhouse complex where we used to have several dumpsters for the trash and another dumpster for cardboard and bottles. There was a man who used to come into the complex, go through the dumpsters and pull out the bottles...both in the regular dumpster and in the recycle dumpster. On the one hand, he was sort of doing a service by taking out a lot of the bottles that should have been put in the recycle dumpster. On the other hand, it was kind of creepy to have this guy going through the garbage.

They also had problems with people from outside the complex throwing their trash in the dumpsters we pay for. They solved it by issuing separate garbage cans to each unit. Its too much work for bottle guy to go through individual trash cans...also its more personal...so we don't see him any more. Still wouldn't stop some freeloader from coming into the complex and topping off a couple of cans, but I'd think that that would draw unwelcome attention, so I haven't heard that its a problem.

my 2 cents...

Sure, it's annoying and wrong of him to do it. But it really doesn't matter in the big picture. In over a year you never were impacted by it at all. Before the one time you tried to add trash on trash day, you didn't even know he did it and you were at peace. I would let it go and maybe even try to make friends with this strange neighbor.

(I pay for a huge trash can and I always tell the neighbors to feel free to put some in mine on trash day if they are overflowing and I have room...I mean why not? I've already paid for it and I have room in the can not being used...)
