My son cut the grass yesterday and decided to put the grass trimmings in 8 half-filled garbage bags instead of 4 full ones. Then he piled the bags on the street, though the garbage had been picked up the day before.

Today I had a warning from a city inspector on my fence gate, saying I had violated a city ordinance by having more than 7 bags of trash on the curb for pick up, and would be cited if I did not remedy in 2 days. I was bemused they actually took the time to cite me. I've never seen a city inspector come out in NOLA unless there were multiple complaints over many months. No big deal, I put 4 bags in my garbage bin by the house and took the other 4 off the street. I do think it is ironic they are enforcing this ordinance when they are still only picking up trash once a week.

Lakefront. He must have been cruising by.

I'm all for city code enforcement working as intended, just surprised.

Because I did not want the trash on the curb yet anyway. No trash pick up until next Tuesday.

If gem or bird streets, could’ve been some old fart that called you in.

Meanwhile, nearby on the Fleur de Lis neutral ground, someone dumped some tires and syringes (per FB).

Yep, and deep down he was an anal retentive asswipe with a Barney Fife mentality about his job-------all while out stalking his "next project" as he called his many victims.

Bagging grass clippings ought to be against the law.

agreed. We should just blow them in the storm drains so the garbage men don't have to worry about it.

Ban them noisy azz blowers. You get a straw broom, and bag them clippings up. Put it in the mulch bed to make garden mud.

There ain’t no way in h that i would put up with them landscapers pulling up at 7:30 am and running that noisy azz blower.
