Moving question

I know that somerville is more lax and trash and items on sidewalks this weekend, but how soon is too soon to start putting trash out? I have a ton!

Sheesh -- and to think I usually just shove the trash cans out of my way and into their lawn on my way to work...

Just kidding, although I've always *really* wanted to. One of my neighbors is a repeat offender, and they're homeowners; no one rents in that house. You'd think if anyone had any sense of common decency it would be people who own. Poor firefighters. Those have to be some of the more idiotic runs they make, but since it happens every week on my block, I might have to resort to this.

Maybe they feel that since they own, they can treat everything in front of their house as theirs, too? Thoughtful.

The sidewalk in front of our place was literally buried, except for a path directly from our porch to the road. The entire length of the sidewalk in front of the house was covered with the other apartment's junk, a lot of it in perfectly fine shape (I trashpicked a toaster oven!) - or would have been in good shape, had they not ALSO thrown bottles of booze in the pile as well, which totally soaked the multiple bags of clothing, etc. It was pretty bad. Our landlady's husband came with his pickup, and he and one of my roommates loaded up the trash so the landlady (and therefore us) wouldn't get fined. I hope she didn't return the deposit to the renters of that apartment.
