[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We also lived in a DC rowhouse with alley trash pick up. I put our cans out front on the street side on trash pick up days (which is the case for all the houses on each end of a rowhouse block without alley access anyway). I get that it's not convenient and that there are all sorts of "sharing" arrangements in an alley but this seems to be on you.[/quote]

If you store your trash cans in your front patio area, that technically violates DC regs.

The new neighbors may technically have the right to block access (if there is no easement) but it's a dick move that is not going to help them feel welcome, and may have consequences if they ever have to cross or access their neighbors' property (for example to repair an adjoining wall.) [/quote]

Yeah, that is definitely not universally true. Walk around Capitol Hill and you’ll find hundreds of houses without alley access or a rear exit. We are required to keep our trash in front. [/quote]

You can take your trash out to the curb for pickup, but storing your trashcans in front of your house technically violates the regs, becuase the space past your building line is actually public space.  So if you can't keep them in the alley in non-public space, I guess you have to keep them in your house.
