Don't go figuring out if your bin hits their car when there is a completely valid bylaw on the books about parking 1.5m away from driveways. That solves all your issues right there without bothering about damage control from the bin.

I consider myself the local wacky by-law lady and have called 3 - 4 times in my neighborhood. Some guy though he could park his cab for his semi trailor on the street, which he did for a couple weeks until I called. Another time, these brats were climbing a tree, busting branches, and paiting the branches on the back path, again, a call, another was for someone dumping in a feild. To me, all legitamite issues! People will complain all day about these things going on in their neighborhoods but do nothing about it. OR they get into it with the neighbours, which generally doesn't help, drags it out, or causes more crap in the long run. By-law is confidential and legal.

To me, it's a rule as solid as a no parking sign sitting right on your driveway edge, "NO PARKING WITHIN 1.5M". You'd call in a heartbeat if there were a sign there, right?

Do you chase the kids away from in front of your house with a broom?
