Recycling? Throw all of it in the trash.

Put that shite in the regular trash can baw. Most trash companies dump the recyclables in the same landfill

But also, what a dick


Maybe, but maybe not. I can see it being some policy not to grab containers blocked by cars for liability reasons (someone claiming that he hit the car).

Also, not sure I’d be stopping to talk to some agitated dude jumping up and down in 2024 either. People are crazy and the dude is probably trying to stay on schedule and not get shot.

The one who’s definitely a dick is the jackass who parked in front of your container.

No but it’s pretty ridiculous that you’re running down a trash truck down your road and out of your neighborhood.

shite happens. Wait till next week.

Two options

Don't recycle
Set fire to the car that parked in front of your can.

Hell yes you should. Sounds like dude was being a jackass just to be a jackass. All he had to do after you rolled the can out to a free space is give you a wave, showing he's got ya. Lazy mofos already don't have to do shite but control the pick-up robotic arm.

respect the chain of command

Pool board first, then escalate if needed

By all means do so. You might do well to notify the pool board as well.

Save up your trash for a couple of weeks and then dump it all in one day. Drink coffee as you watch them deal with it all

This is the real issue. Some fricking selfish idiot parked their car without consideration given to anything/anyone around. Probably just a typical oblivious to their surroundings kind of moron, but that's who you should take beef with.
Are their car doors unlocked? Pop the trunk and dump that can in there.
