Quote From: suebonnetsue Who pays for this annual cleanup?
Does the court order do any good? Other than getting the fire department to clean it up? They may as well give the court order to the fire department.
Is her car packed with junk too? The hoarder in my neighborhood had one car hauled away by the police because the tags were dead for at least a year. A big ol' Cadillac, totally packed with trash.
The first year it was a county service. Now, she gets a bill. She refused to pay it, so the city turned off her water. She changed her mind and pays the bill.
Do you remember Jeff Foxworthy's joke "You might be a Redneck if . . .?" Well, the first year the fire department cleaned up her yard, they found a whole pickup that she had reported stolen. No, I am not kidding. It was that bad! She was surprised to finally find that pickup.
In our county, you can keep one car without tags on your property. That pickup is now underneath a tree on the front yard. The car actually runs. It is a neighborhood giggle. It got so loaded with trash that she couldn't get in and drive anymore. So, she gathered up bags of garbage from the inside. I don't mean one or two, I mean bags and bags.
The odd thing was, she wouldn't put it on the curb for the garbage men to pick up. No, she put the bags on the driveway with her other junk.
