Yes, I’ve been doing it for years. It actually seems ridiculous to me that not bagging your garbage would lead to them not picking it up, but so does the idea of a private garbage corporation. The city picks mine up. They never complain and I never find my garbage in the streets. I’ve never seen them drop any recyclables either, and basically everyone in my neighborhood recycles at least to some degree.

My household also don’t throw much away. We compost nearly 100% of our food and pet wastes and most of our cardboard and paper, avoid single use plastics, and recycle. Usually our inside bin doesn’t even fill up week to week.

Are you dumb on top of being an asshole? How on earth would garbage collection take the garbage if I lock the bin and hide it away?

Are you a child? Are we discussing risk of injury? The attractive nuisance doctrine is irrelevant to this discussion.

Edit: Didn’t realize you were the same person from the other thread who I already gave up on. I don’t intend to respond.

Hmm, personally wouldn’t treat fruit trees like fair game unless they’re on public property. Seems many US jurisdictions would consider it petty theft or something.

Common punishment would probably be smart doorbell footage of the “burglar” going up on Nextdoor :)

Well than it’s not working, because microbial action causes the smell.

I’m no scientist, but it seems to turn my food scraps into dirt without smelling bad.

It’s a garbage can, what harm can come from someone using it?

The harm is that I can no longer quietly enjoy my yard. Because it smells like poop.

And if you don’t want it touched, put it in your backyard or lock it.

I have to take the trash to the curb in order for it to be picked up. I leave for work before they pick it up, so it’s out all day. During that time, it racks up 3-5 dog poops, guaranteed.

Are people not free to walk up to your house and touch your doorbell?

You’re being obtuse. A doorbell is intended to be used by the public.

If I had an apple tree in my front yard that’s not fenced, yes the neighborhood could freely help themselves, obviously a bike is an entirely different situation, and using it as an example is fallacious.

The only thing I can think of is that you must not live in a city. We get a lot of foot traffic here from people who I haven’t met and probably never will. If they all felt entitled to pick from my imaginary apple tree, it would be bare in a week.
