New one: I live on a large lot with four units on it, one of which is occupied by the owners (our landlords). All the units pay for their own trash/recycling service.
Since it's California, we have these giant compost bins for, you know, compostable items like food scraps and yard waste.
Well, every now and then after trash day, I'd get our bins and notice our green bin was missing. Eventually it would show up and I suspected a neighbor was grabbing ours by mistake or something. So we wrote our apartment number on all our bins just in case this was what happened or at least it would hopefully make them less inclined to take ours on purpose.
Last week, our green bin was missing. Our landlords had a lot of yard work done (only around their house). Today I took out the trash, and sure enough, our compost bin was there full of yard waste.
Now, our landlords are for the most part very nice people, but I think it's kind of bullshit that they're using a service that I paid for with no benefit to me and without consulting me. It's really not much money, but it can be a pain in the ass figuring out what to do with a week of food scraps that normally went in the bin. And it's really disrespectful. Do I confront the landlords about it? How?
