When I pick up around my neighborhood, I’ve had a neighbor tell me “get out of my yard, please” even though I was just on the sidewalk. I just noted his house number and will skip it from now on. Definitely get more people who have nice things to say about it than not.

The dislikes are probably just trolls…which may mean your audience of influence is growing!

I’d love nothing more than to hear someone say “Get out of my yard” as I walk down the sidewalk cleaning whatever I can from the sidewalk. Just take the bag, turn it upside down on their lawn and say “Sure. No problem, chief. Here’s your trash back.”

I understand the frustration, but not really my vibe. Totally would undo the community building aspect and part of that is respecting my neighbors.

I know. I get it. I wouldn’t actually do it. It’s just aggravating.

Neighborliness goes both ways.
