We had a skumbag come to a Township meeting after being sent a notice to clean up his yard who stood up and shouted he liked looking out his picture window and seeing 300 used tires in his front yard. Township even offered to help him financially to clean up. He threatened to shoot anyone who set foot in his yard. Takes all kinds I guess. It all depends on how you were raised.

There’s a dirt road on another part of my route with six houses that look like they’re about 4,000 sq ft each. Looks kind of like a compound. Nice houses. Five of the houses are owned by different family members. They all rent out a part of their house. And they all have a bunch of junk cars in the yard and the yards aren’t tended to very often. It looks like someone in the family hit the lottery and moved the whole family out of a trailer park into big new houses. It looks really strange.

They couldn’t fine him since he was basically using his yard as a dump?

The only success the Township has ever had with getting people to clean up their junk is when they can get the EPA involved and that don't happen too often. If you are unlucky enough to get on the complaint list (a formal complaint has to be filed by a resident of the Township) you do get fined 25 bucks a month until cleaned up but VERY few even pay it. Most of the time it goes on the property taxes for the year---but those who thumb their nose at it don't pay those either. After 7 years of non-payment the it is turned over to courts and then that can take more years to resolve. People love their junk. Everybody has a 'treasure ' pile but when you become a hoarder it gets out of control. Lots of hoarders around here own enough acreage so that when forced to they move their stuff back in the woods where it can't be seen by neighbors or from the road. That is perfectly fine with the Township. Right now the Township has 11 properties on the clean up list. Maybe 3 of them are cooperating.

I know of two different guys who have gone to jail rather than clean up. That's how much they love their junk. Most of them don't work and the jail is warm in the winter. One of the properties did eventually get cleaned up by the Township and the guy moved. That cost the taxpayers about 9 grand and a lien was put against the guys property. Its for sale now so maybe the Township might be able to re-coop some of their money.

Throw a Molotov cocktail in those tires at 2 am. Problem solved.

This is some baby room decorating I can get behind.
