DW dumped neighbors trash on their lawn. Now what do I have to do?

OP if you are in Ffx Co you are paying for your trash and recyclables to be picked up, right? Your neighbors need to get their own bins. I'd be pissed too.

+1
Why don't they have thier own?
Why did the wait until your wife drove off and put the stuff in while she was gone? They should have asked her first. That was sneaky. They are the passive aggressive ones

I can see how having a week's worth of beer bottles and pizza boxes sitting in front of your house might be a tad embarrassing for your wife. Especially if she's a health nut and avoids that stuff like the plague.

It's not just trash, it's humiliating trash, lol. And she doesn't want to be associated with that.. that sort of thing can lead to a reputation you know.

What about dog poo bags

Why should a neighborhood teen clean this up? Dude needs to order his wife to do it.

Are you the person who suggested checking the neighbor's recycling bin for an acceptable amount of beer and wine bottles, and if there are a lot your kids aren't allowed over there?

No, not me. I just know that some folks would not appreciate the appearance of having a habit that they do not have, kwim? But if this was a once a week, right before trash pick up thing with the OP's neighbors...so what. An every week thing might be a different story. Why aren't they throwing out their alcohol bottles/pizza boxes in their own bins?

I can picture myself doing the same thing as your wife. It's not such a bog deal that they put their recyclables in your been, but it is presumptuous and would piss me off as well-- whether or not they are foreigners.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah. It's horrible when someone places trash in your trash bin. Soooo annoying. Really, the last straw.

If you read my post, it ways that there is a history. I find it ironic that you are sarcastic in your response that I would find what the neighbor did annoying, yet you are clearly annoyed by an innocent expression of opinion on a bulletin board. Makes ya think, huh?

You don't seem to have a clear read of emotions or responses. Annoyed in the response? A history of annoying behaviors? Where do you get any of this?

NP here. That word doesn't mean what you think it means. I blame Alanis Morissette.

(Actually, I shouldn't say that - you may very well have a good grasp of the concept of irony. But your post is so incoherent, it's tough to tell.)

Sounds very territorial. My dog is like this. Also, sounds very aggressive, not passive aggressive. Wife will have to deal with the outcome with the neigbors, since you are out of town. I wouldn't get in the middle of it. She made the choice to do that, now let her make the choice how to deal with the consequences.

BTW - We recycle EVERYTHING that MoCo allows. That means come trash day, our recyclable bins are full. I use clear plastic bags to put in my recyclables in them and I keep it next to the recyclable bins. I keep these bins on one side of the driveway and the trash bins on the other side, so that there is no confusion about the status of the recyclables in the trash bags. They always get picked up.

Wife is a piece of work. I am so sorry for you. Shudder to think of her thought processes.

So go get an education and learn reading comprehension.

OP, I think I know who you are - you have posted here before about your difficult wife.

If you have decided to stay for the same of your daughter, then you need to do 2 things: accept your wife is unbalanced; and detach from her emotionally. Remember that your priority is keeping your daughter safe.

So what you need to do is go over to your neighbors and apologize profusely when you get home. Don't tell your wife what you are doing. Maybe your neighbors are nice people who can help you keep an eye on your wife.

Pizza boxes are not recyclable. So, if she was mad because they put trash in the recycle bins -- I get it. But she should talk to the neighbors and explain it to them. And, if the neighbors bins were full and they added a little to yours -- who cares? It's county trash pick up, right? You are paying by the pound?
