It’s bin day and we’re waiting for the pick up. Elderly neighbour was out and on his way back home reversed into his bins, knocking them over and spilling a bit of crap on the nature strip and footpath.
Did he notice? Absolutely not.
Did he go out and pick it up? No chance.
Did I do the right thing, rush out and tidy up as the rubbish truck was at the top of our street? Yes, but was grumbling the entire time.
My biggest issue was that it took the rubbish truck a few minutes to do it’s round. Not long enough for me to back inside, but just too long to stand outside waiting andlooking like an impatient resident that is totally judging the truck driver’s performance.

might be worth putting a letter in the mailbox or something. Or if its a continued pattern of behavior report 'em. Today its the bin, Tomorrow could be a kid on a bike.
I like it when my street is clean. If there’s any rubbish around after the truck comes past, I’ll pick it up and put in my bin. This was more that neighbours’ bins wouldn’t have been picked up if knocked over.
It’s commendable that you took the initiative to tidy up despite feeling frustrated about the situation. Sometimes being a good neighbor means going the extra mile, even when it’s inconvenient. Your actions likely helped prevent any further mess and ensured that the neighborhood stayed clean. As for the timing with the rubbish truck, it’s understandable to feel a bit awkward waiting outside, but your efforts to assist likely didn’t go unnoticed. Perhaps next time, your neighbor will be more mindful of their surroundings, but until then, your willingness to lend a hand speaks volumes about your character. https://iqratechnology.com/academy/
Sometimes my back is so sore I can’t bend over to pick things up. I just look at them. If it’s at home I wait until I can pick it up but somewhere else, I will try my best but if I can’t I can’t.

Good idea with the letter. Hitting the bins wasn’t my main concert. Shit happens at slow speed. Not noticing that he did it was the alarm bells.
yeah same for me! Accidents happen, not realizing they happened is… concerning.
I clean up, whenever I haven’t I’m just bothered by litter around my street until the council monthly sweeper comes through.

I can relate to this.
Sometimes my back is so sore I can’t bend over to pick things up. I just look at them. If it’s at home I wait until I can pick it up but somewhere else, I will try my best but if I can’t I can’t.
Those grabber sticks are great. I also want a table that swings over the bed
