"The person who lives behind me is renovating their property," writes Andrew. "So over the last couple of months I've had an oven and a laundry sink dumped on the berm outside of my house, with a 'free' sign stuck on it. Both times, the itemshave lasted over a week before someone has moved them. Who actually thinks this is acceptable? For a start, it's an eyesore. I don't want a manky, dirty old oven sitting outside my house for weeks at a time. Secondly, it is dangerous as it restricts my vision when I'm exiting my driveway (and I live near a school, so there are often kids about). Thirdly, what do you think happened on a Saturday night? Yep, drunks smashed it to pieces. And as you can imagine, smashing up a metal oven or sink at midnight on a Saturday makes a hell of a racket. On Sunday morning I have even more debris strewn across my berm. Next time, hire a trailer and go to the dump, like a normal person."
