Once upon a time, in my complex, the generous members of the EC took the bins out each week. They took it in turns or did it together. The lucky residents of this complex rewarded the EC members by dumping rubbish on the ground in the bin area or placing rubbish on top of the bins. In many instances this was done eve when there was room n the bins. It didn’t matter, it was for some else to take care of.
Luckily most of these people generally threw out some identifying documents of papers in their rubbish. EC members actually found out whose rubbish it was and left it back at their door step. Then they instigated a garbage roster where each unit had a turn each week to take the rubbish bins out. And guess what? No rubbish was left anywhere in the bin area. It wasn’t someone else’s problem anymore. They may actually have to pick up the rubbish themselves so this problem was virtually eliminated. Except when we had people move out. Ad we did take photos, and found identifying documents confirming whose rubbish was dumped and did send them a bill all to no avail.
We now have a company come and do out bins for us. And the problem is starting to creep back a little. When it is someone else’s problem then anything goes. I am waiting for the problem to get even bigger than it was before because now we pay someone to do it. We have servants. It’s for them to worry about now.
