  We live in a subdivision with an HOA that requires us to keep our trash in the garage.  Its not that bad.  I make sure everything is bagged up tightly in put the trash bins the city provides, and I set them at the end of the garage by the door so it not near the door to the house.  Our trash is picked up on Monday's, and we don't have much trash during the week but the weekend is another story.   I don't think I would every live in a neighborhood that does not have a HOA, IMO you have those few neighbors that could careless about there house and yard and need to be forced to care.  I had to complian to the HOA about the my next door neighbors because they were not maintianing their yard,  they have a lawn guy now.  |
