Dumpster Abuse

Clean-out required a 20 yd dumpster.  So, I had one brought in and  placed  in the front yard.  Let the clean-out begin.  We get busy and after a few days we get the bottom covered then its the week-end.  The garbage magically multiplies over the week-end.  Garbage bags with diapers, food, mail etc.  Why do people feel like they can put their garbage in my dumpster. It's STEALING!  They are not paying for it and yet they think that they can fill my dumpster.   I wouldn't mind a bag or two.  But 16 bags is a little excessive don't ya think?  So,  what do you do?  It's fairly easy to figure out whose garbage it is.  Just rip open a bag or two and their name will be on several pieces of mail. 
  1. You can take the garbage back to them. 
  2. You can also involve the police.  However, unless you/someone actually saw them put the garbage in your dumpster you won't have much of a case.
  3. Just plan on other people using your dumpster when you rent one.
  4. Wait until you are sure that you will fill the dumpster before getting one.  This may involve handling the garbage more than once.  Not good.
Just one more thing.
