a long day

What a long day this Monday has been. First, they're up at the crack of dawn and now they're still at it at 10 PM. I know that it's hard to see 'em in this picture, but believe me, they're out there.

crack of dawn

It's 6:30 am on a Monday morning and look what we have: two carts loaded up and ready to be redeemed. What time do you think these morons up to sort out this crap???

Keep in mind that it generally takes these idiots about two hours sort through their collected crap. You do the math. How would you like to have to hear these shit-for-brains at that hour??

what heat???

So what if it's 95+ degrees on a Saturday evening in July? Bottles and cans aren't going to collect and sort themselves, are they???

Now?!?!?!?!

No picture is necessary for this. It's 10:52 on a Friday night and the asshole with the squeaky-wheeled cart has just brought in a load of crap for sorting.

#$%&*!

a relaxing Saturday afternoon (not for us)

It's a lovely Saturday afternoon today. And what better way to relax than by sorting through the garbage you've picked?

Again, notice that they do do this crap as far away from their house as possible. "No mice", my ass!

By the way: I wonder what's rolled up in that plastic covered rug?

the answer is...

Earlier this evening I asked "Wonder how late he'll stay out there"?

Well, it's now 11:30 PM and he's out there moving the crap about and not caring how much noise is made.

look what the crap dragged in

It's 8 O'clock on a lovely Friday evening in June. And here he is: dragging in the second (or is that the third?) load of crap for the day. You might think that all of this garbage picking would have made him tired. But you'd be wrong! He still has plenty of energy left to do at least a preliminary sorting of this round's collection. Wonder how late he'll stay out there 'til this time?

By the way: notice how this junk is stored as far away from the house as possible? Also, that three of the four trash pails alongside the house have no lids? And, the one pail that does is overflowing so that the lid is useless?

This just in

You say that "if you've seen one cart full of crap, you've seen them all"? True. But, with the day to day visual changes that spring brings, it's easiest now to see that these are, indeed, new pictures each post and not from a stockpile. This shot is from just a few minutes ago.

fresh load

Well, the recycling business is back to being a seven-day affair. Saw a deposit being made on Mother's Day morning at 7:50 AM, but the sorting had to wait until yesterday so that a BBQ could be held.

Last night, there was either a quick midnight drop-off or some fuzzy critter(s) were going through what was already there.

The above picture is of a load that was just delivered. The clanking bottle sorting has begun!

Keeping the window closed only blocks out a portino of the din (as does the radio or fan).

It's springtime!

Forget what the calendar says. Spring has finally arrived. Yesterday (top picture) saw the first shopping cart filled with recyclables ready to be redeemed. Since it was the first one of the season, the load a a bit smaller. Spring training, you know.

Today, the business is back to a more normal level.

But, what's this I see? A new helper? He looks young and healthy enough to bring in BIG loads of crap. Ah, spring! Can the stench, rodents and flies that this garbage attracts be far behind?

business as usual

Late Monday morning there looked to be someone from the city finally inspecting the property. Rather than the bags of crap in the rear, he seemed to be focused upon some scrap wood which was alongside the house.
Within 15 minutes of the guy leaving they were back out in back futzing around.

But, I was optimistic because yesterday the space where they usually stored their junk was clear!! And, it remained so through the daylight hours.

Sadly, that was very short-lived. I woke this morning to find their yard filled once again with bag upon bag of crap. What the hell did they do? Hide this stuff in their house???

Clearly, these slobs have absolutely no intention altering their behavior for anyone.

So, today, it's back to business as usual.

how pretty

I know that the image is a bit blurry, but don't those cans look pretty glistening in the late afternoon sun?



Here's one from 6 PM as the sun's gone behind some clouds again. The pickers have just gone in now, so those bags will remain out there tonight attracting rodents until the whole process resumes again in the AM (if not later this evening).

still at it

Just when you think that this nonsense is winding down for the season, these asses are kicking it back up into high gear. They've been at this bullshit today since before 8 AM.

The above two photos were taken at about 5 PM.

With the cooler weather, we've seen this trash draw in increased rodent activity so it's well past time to give us all a f&^*%in# break and put an end to this already!!!!!!!

in the cool of the morning

Even though the morning temperatures now hover around 50, they still like to get an early start on their sorting and picking. What an admirable work ethic!

recent activity

I love this: Keep in mind that all of the people in this house related. Here are the folks from the upper floor picking through the recycling pail of the people who live on the first floor. You'd think that since they're related that this crap would be set aside for them!

night picking

Yes, I know that it's hard to see from this flash photo (which was taken less than ten minutes ago), but the assholes from next door decided to come out at 10:45 PM to sort through their crap IN THE DARK. Like no one would notice that they were there?????

I called the local precinct, so we'll see what happens when (or if) they arrive.

this morning

Speaks for itself.

rainy days and Mondays...

With apologies to the US Post Office motto:

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these scavengers from their chosen rounds.

storm after the lull

After about a week's lull in early morning nonsense, at about 8:45 this morning the woman scavenger came trotting in with the load of crap pictured above. Thankfully, the sorting was kept to a minimum and all was quiet until 3:45 when the action pictured below took place.

Go crap!

Saturday spread

If it's Saturday afternoon, then it must be time to put out a spread.

Last night in the complete darkness (so that they couldn't be seen) I heard them at 9:30 and again at 10:40 noisily dropping off bags, so this isn't any surprise - but it's still BS.
