re: Have you/would you ever call your city's code enforcement?

Simple, Call the dumpster company tell them your finish with it. They will come and pick it up.

Coordinate with neighbors to all park in the street.

The dumpster in the road is a dangerous traffic hazard. Call the police today.

My next door neigbor bought a giant pull behind camper and would stage it in his driveway. Our neighborhood didnt allow it so I called it in after 2 months of it sitting.

At the end of the day is it really that big a deal?

The question is how much lack of consideration would you put up with? If someone fully blocked your driveway, you would surely notify the authorities. If someone partially blocked your driveway, you would likely call the authorities. So we would all find this to be an infringement at some point, it's just a matter of at what point.

The offender in question is making others' life less pleasant because he doesn't want to keep his truck or dumpster in his driveway. That's worth resolving.

Personally, I get the people saying to go talk to him but if he's so inconsiderate to do it in the first place and, like you say, hasn't shown much sign of being a good neighbor otherwise, I'd just report it.

It definitely depends on the neighbor. My neighbor to my right I know I can holler at if there's an issue (and vice versa). They even give us a heads up if they're having a big get together and have brought food over before/invited us over.

The neighbors to the left? They had two dogs getting out every day for damn near two weeks and when I walked over to let them know they were out, they wouldn't answer the door. They don't wave when you're outside or say hello. And I watched their dumbasses run over their own garbage cans then leave the garbage in the driveway for several days afterward. I don't hesitate to call on them at this point if their shite isn't kept up or the dogs get out again.

Call.

Some folks have zero consideration for neighbors and have to be told.

Rules are in place because we live amongst inconsiderate dumbasses.

Settle down jay

Call the dumpster company and ask why they placed one in the road against city code

This. Or as another poster said, call the dumpster company and tell them you are ready to get it pulled.

Dumpsters run ~$300 for a 20 yd3. Make the a-hole pay a stupid tax.

I'd also talk to him about truck placement. Tell him he's putting his property at risk and per city ordinance you aren't liable.

Make that a-hole at least waste his time researching the city ordinance.


Anyone who parks directly opposite a driveway should have their car impounded.
