I'd just like to remind everyone - keep your darn garbage out of the alley until the morning of pickup...

My neighbours were nice enough to fill the back alley full of nice smelly garbage tonight (pickups tomorow), So far the dog's been sprayed by a skunk, I saw porcupines waddling down the alley while coming back with skunk out - and the coyotes sound like they're 2 blocks over...

No wonder we've got problems with wild animals in urban areas when all the neighbours it seems have decided to offer them a big buffet on wednesday nights.

While I feel for ya, the bylaw is no sooner than 12 hours before pickup... if they're consistently ****ing you off, time them - then call bylaw enforcement. :wink:

or you could ask them to be more considerate... yikes!

Or you could live in a rural area like me - if I leave my garbage out the bruins show up for the feast and scare the crap out of me - making for one big mess that I have to clean up all by myself.:mrgreen:
