[FROM TLS ARCHIVES] Rabbi Shmuel Felder Shlita, one of Lakewood’s leading Poskim, tell TLS that Lakewood residents may leave Chometz in their trash bins to be picked up during Pesach.
Rabbi Felder explained that leaving Chometz in the bin would not constitute being in possession of Chometz, since the bins are owned by the Lakewood Township.
Accordingly, residents may leave the trash bins out for pickup Erev Pesach, and bring them back onto their property during Chol Ha’moed.

It should be made clear that if there is chomets in your can it may not be on your property you must make SURE to REMOVE it from you property before the zman . Secondly it should be clarified whether there is no issue with kabolas acharyus
Thank you Louis!
Louis – Are you making a statement or asking a question?
I believe the whole point of this psak is that even if it’s on your property it’s ok since the township owns the can and its contents….
To huh definitely not the point is that you can have it the garbage can but your ground is still your property
Or…… The township owns the garbage can. Therefore when you are mafkir it and take it our of your reshus by putting it into a township owned bin it is removed from your reshus even if the bin is on your property.
Huh ? It might be appropriate to ask not to assume . If you’d stop to think a second what difference does it make if the chomets is in your property even he it’s laying on 20 layers of someone else’s containers even if the chomets is hefker
Anyway I will not continue this debate here everyone should ask their rov . To the moderator perhaps it would be appropriate to clarify with rabbi felder
to huh according to you anyone is allowed to go to someone elses garbage and take it. i dont think that that is true
it may be OK halachicly, but is sure NOT OK aesthetically.
I dont appreciate going for a pesach stroll with my family to enjoy the weather and having to dodge garbage cans and to inhale my neighbors smelly garbage.
Please DONT do this!!
I do this every year. The township owns the can and also owns the road so I put the can on the road before the z’man.
@ixbay LOL
Don’t forget jumping around the bikes, trikes, scooter, buggies, and rip sticks. It’s not a perfect world, that’s what’s so great.
