Surely they realise it will cost you to remove it, not a nice way to start neighbourly relations is it? Exactley!! We have people dumping stuff on our block all the time, wooden crates, plastic chairs, even a pool lounge . When we were up there one day the lady from in front of us came storming up (first time we'd ever meet her) and started ranting to my DH about the grass needing to be mowed blah blah blah, so I went over and said what's the problem, so she repeated her rant to me. I said "yeah sure will get straight to it as soon as your hubby gets his boat off our block" I mean seriously if she had of just come over and said it nicely, much more effective and considering they had been using our block as a garage for about 6 months for their boat I think a tad over the top.

I wished I knew who was it As an old saying says, there just a very few items one can observe infinitely: an open fire and how others work while you're relaxing.... So yeah, I missed such a rare opportunity A guy who's building just across the street had to clean up mattresses and other debris that neighbours would dump on his property during the construction...

BeCH, AJV & KrustyBaldivis we too had so much of rubbish on our block dumped by initially the builders from the neighbouring blocks then I think the neighbours themselves. We were dissapointed when we had to clean the site. There was rubble - broke bricks, roof tiles and tiles and there was concrete just poured on our land at corners. There was piles and piles of extra soils. Took us 1 week to clean the land. I just wish people would think a bit more before doing something like that because how would they like it if it was there vacant block of land?? Re: Who cleans your site before beginning? 16Nov 02, 2009 2:10 pm I agree it just isn't fair! We need all the money we have to finish our place off not to get rid of other people's rubbish!! Hopefully our builder wont take too long now to start, we dont want to have to go back to clear more rubbish!!!

There are very few blocks left in our section of the estate, and we've been watching with amazement as piles of soil, building debris, broken furniture etc have been appearing on one near us. I pity the poor owner who'll have to remove it all. You could try putting up a sign along the lines of "private property - no dumping of rubbish" but I don't know how much effect it will have.

SO far its just our immediate neighbour, but there are 2 other blocks opposite us that are starting to build also, so I hope I dont end up with any of their rubbish! I'll go chat to my neighbour later on - if I send DH he will be too subtle, I am slightly more tactless. Caz & Co ALL MOVED IN!! Now comes all the hard work-decorating....

So, people came along and dumped stuff, but they dumped on our neighbours' lots. We were careful to ensure that none of our builders rubble ended up there though, and the builder was really good about this too. I'm not sure who cleaned up the neighbours lots when they started building, but someone obviously did.
