[Lincolnparkdc] Smashed glass and recycling on NYE

[regina arlotto]

To the neighbor who threw glass bottles and recycling at my house and patio
on New Year's Eve:

Yes, maybe my husband put a bag of recycling into your *empty* recycling
bin which is left unmarked along with the 8-10 other cans at the end of the
alley between 12th and Kentucky. Maybe you, like us, were surprised by the
trash pickup on the observed federal holiday last Monday after Christmas.
So maybe you could have understood that with all the holiday packages,
holiday gatherings with wine and beer and adult children's inexplicable
love for Topo Chico, a lot of recycling cans are overflowing.

Maybe it was annoying, but did you really have to take *that bag of *clean*
recycling, mostly cans, bottles and cut up boxes, and toss it over my
fence, breaking glass all over the patio? Thanks also for throwing two Topo
Chico bottles at my glass patio door,* narrowly missing the glass, but now
there's smashed glass all over my porch as well as my patio. What a way to
start the New Year, realizing I have a neighbor who was so unhinged by
the bag of recycling in their empty bin, that they tried to smash my patio
door by chucking glass bottles at it on New Year's Eve.

I hate it when people put poopy bags of trash in my bin, but if there's an
extra trash bag in it, or someone's extra recycling in it I don't really
care. It is a trash bin, and if there's enough room to hold more, so what?
I'll also point out that we routinely take all those unmarked trash cans to
the street when they are full (and not with our trash!) and bring them back
after pickup.

Related: someone has taken our regular trash can (which was marked with
blue tape on the handle) so if you see a lost can, or have an extra, we
would appreciate having it back.

Happy f-ing New Year.
