A final announcement: Contrary to popular belief, your garbage cans do not belong to you. They belong to the DPW. We are doing all we can to ensure that the garbage is picked up Erev Pesach, but if your garbage cans are full, just bring your cans to one of the drop off sites. If you can’t, please set your cans at the curb, as if it were your pick up day and forget about them. It’s not your problem anymore; it’s ours. I’ve discussed this with several rabbonim and you can call your own rav as well. You don’t own the cans, and you don’t own anything that is inside of them.
even if the dpw owns it it can still re considered rented or lent to you. which is the same as owning
are they accepting from pple living in other municipalities?
What does it mean “We are doing all that we can to ensure garbage is picked up on erev Pesach”?
It is not any more left to you than a garbage truck. It is their’s stationed at your house.
Who throws away 3 bicycles? Isn’t there a nonprofit that they can be given to that will fix them and give them to folks who can’t afford one?
Lakewood is kind enough to do this for their residents. You need to look or call the area you live in to see what they are offering. If every town brought their garbage to this site, Lakewood would be buried. Again, look into your municipality.
