This is the view out the northern window in my bathroom. My neighbor has been cleaning their yard for years, which has just involved them piling garbage in a trailer. The trailer has never been emptied, and At this point I doubt they could move it without the majority of the trash falling out.
Luckily the fence on that side of the yard is 6 feet, so I do not really see the trash under normal circumstances.
Gawt damn.
The trash heap has spoken!
Holy shit, is that fraggle rock?!?
no bylaws against stuff like this? we typically have bylaws against this for reasons like rodent attraction
Do you want Skaven? Cause this is how you get Skaven.
They just don’t want me to build my rat army because I will become unstoppable.
Hey Willard, how’s Ben?
That’s quite the trash stack
Cute! Also the cat does not seem to care.
Show off 🥲
Stick a hedge made of cypress trees or something else dense and tall there?
When I clicked to see the image, I was honestly expecting the trash pile to be a Tesla Truck.
It will eventually get heaped on there no doubt.
Depending on your locality, your town, county, or state may have laws against this. They’re often health department statues against providing something that attracts pests like rats and snakes.
Came here for this, call housing code enforcement. If they exist where you are.
Alternatively, OP could try talking to their neighbor about it instead of getting the state involved. Maybe even offering to help them clean it up? Getting the authorities involved could cost the neighbor money or have bad repercussions and we don’t know what their circumstances are.
This was my thoughts too
A community connected could help sort this out and bring good into the world.
I think the cat is happy with the view
Probably enjoying the entertainment all the rodent activity provides
That’s a mighty fine trash pile right there.
Man could you just imagine what could happen if someone walking by just happened to flick a lit cigarette or 20 into that pile?
I was thinking a “poorly aimed” bottle rocket “from a neighbor kid”.
See, this would be a good use of AI.
Just have skynet fly a drone over there and blow the pile to kingdom come.
Do you really like your neighbor? Do you not live somewhere that has property standards? Trying to figure out why you would put up with that next door
Yeah this is a case where some kind of HOA or city blight regulations would actually be a good thing.

It’s hilarious that the “too lazy to empty the trash bin” behavior can scale like this. Worst case for me is I pick up a couple things that fall when I empty it. For them… well as you said it doesn’t appear emptiable!

I was skeptical this cat shelf design would hold, but I picked one up and for the last year it’s been my cat’s favorite thing. Highly recommend them. Just make sure the suction cups aren’t warped, you put them in hot water, clean the window, follow all instructions etc.

A strategically placed incendiary device would take care of that pile.
A “strategically placed” incendiary device that is placed in your next door neighbor’s lot? Right over the fence from your own house? That doesn’t seem very strategic at all.
“Cast fireball!”
And all the smoke will make some nice new stars.
