Do you pick up your own mess or do you make someone else do it?

I already have. I call my affiliation the Responsible Party. If you found a problem, you're responsible for finding a solution. If you broke something, you have to fix it. If you messed something up, you have to clean up the mess.\n\nWorks for me.

Depending on the amount of time you have you can meet with these people more than once. Have a questionaer for them to fill out. LEt people know ahead of time about doing there part in cleaning the place up and keeping it that way. Have them sign a "will not be a slob" contract.

i am not sure if they do it in america but i get rid of all mine on freecycle.\n\nas long as you give it away for free then the person that wants it comes to your house and takes it away, at your convienience.  \n\nit's good for big items and stops landfill sites becoming even fuller.  i have given away a lot of baby stuff that otherwise the people couldn't have afforded  -a pram for example\n\ni feel that i am doing something good for me - gets rid of clutter, for the people getting the stuff and for the planet\n\nbest of wishes to you for thinking of other people - take care and lots of hugs\n\nthey do do it in the us - just checked - visit here and if there is not one for your area then start your own.

I put them in the bin, like any civilised person. I guess you're asking because somebody leaves them on the carpet or the like for you to pick up, in which case they are officially a slob :)

If a person is in need of a furniture, sometimes people that just bought new furniture will leave their old furniture near the road for the trash pick-up to pick-up.   So you can walk around and see if anybody is throwing any furniture away and if you see something that you may need, go get your truck and pick it up and take it home.\n\nOne time, we sat out a microwave that was fried.   We were cooking something and the microwave started sparking like too much electricity was going through it.   You know when you have a 10V device and you try to run 20V into it.   What happens?   You are right, too much electricity goes through it and burns it up.   We sat that out near the trash, along with a 19 inch computer monitor that did not work, and someone came by and picked them up.   I'm glad that person could use those things.   I don't know what that person will use them for.  Maybe he knew somebody that recycled electronics and would give him like $5 for all that stuff.\n\nYou could also look in garbage cans, and garbage dumpsters.  Sometimes people throw good stuff away.  I once knew a person that found a baby doll missing one eye.  I'm sure that could be easily fixed.\n\nIf you are a smoker, instead of buying your own cigarettes, you could try bumming.  How bumming a cigarette works is, you go up to someone smoking and say, (look really desperate and tired) could I bum a cigarette off you?  Act like you are using your last bit of oxygen talking to the person.   If you don't like to bum, then you could look in ashtrays for cigarettes.   Most people won't finish a cigarette.  They take a some puffs and put it out, leaving a pretty good length to smoke.\n\nMy ideas of getting stuff for free.\n\n------------------------------------------------------------\nGillette sent me a brand new razor about 6 years ago.  I still use it to this day.  So you might try writing to Gillette and asking them if they would send you a free razor.   Make the letter sound like you really want to support them.\n\nTrojan gives away free condoms to young people to show that they care about preventing youth pregnancies.   So you might want to write them and ask them for some condoms.\n\nIf you drink a lot of sodas, say Pepsi, save up your receipts and send a letter along with the receipts asking if they would send you some coupons or give you a free case of soda since you support them so heavily.\n\nI think baseball stadiums gives tickets away.  These tickets won't give you good seats.  You might need binoculars to enjoy the game.   I don't think the free seats will provide view of the big screen because you will be way up in the air right underneath the roof, so that roof might block your view a little bit.  Oh, and I don't think the food vendor person is going to walk all the way up there just to give you a hotdog and drink.  They serve only people closest to the field.

Yes, but you have to clean up the mess.

Is there nothing useful you could be doing?  Like trying to solve the problem yourself, or finding someone who can do so for you?

Is this true or are you trying to find out how you can do it to someone else?

its when you do things for others that they can do for themselves.

Tell her you were doing laundry and they got mixed in with yours.

Nah, I'd let em borrow my deck if he had something going on that was more than his deck could handle... and as long as they didnt make a mess on my deck.  His wife is pretty good about keeping his deck clean though, so she would probably see to it that the use of my deck was handled properly.

They do it standing up but just messy. Would you care. You cant see to clean it up. So that means someone else will have to clean it up.

Thanks a good point I think if you don't like it you should do it yourself.  I mean she doesn't have to do it for you.  You should be grateful she does it at all.
