MOM22CATSParticipantI luv this rant!!!!
There’s a free babies crib mattress on 26th SW and around 112th St.
REALLY who in their right mind would put their baby on a mattress that was left on the curb????
OH WAIT it does have plastic wrapped around it so it must be OK!

935ParticipantWA-HOOOO!! Anyone want an upside down, waterlogged FREE dishwasher? (at least I think the worn, soaked, running ink piece of paper indicated…)
Just on the southeast corner of 35th and Trenton…Y’all should be ashamed of yourselves

anonymeParticipantThere’s another waterlogged mattress and frame on/blocking the sidewalk on 35th near 100th. Who the heck would ever pick up a used mattress, much less an old, dirty, wet one, quite possibly teeming with vermin? The scumbags dumped it on the street side of a tall hedge so the resident of the adjacent home couldn’t catch them in the act. This activity always increases at the beginning and end of the month.

redblackParticipant935: i’m starting to think that you’re the one dumping this stuff.
just kidding.
judging from your thorough mapping of the free garbage scattered around west seattle, you seem to get around the peninsula pretty well.
are you a mail carrier? pizza courier? fuller brush salesperson? just curious.

935ParticipantNote to the tardy metal collectors….There is a squatty hot water heater at the corne4r of 48th SW and SW Eddy. You must have forgotten your prescheduled appointment.
Fer chrissakes people, get rid of your garbage!! If someone doesn’t want your free metal after a week, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!

935ParticipantWell it’s been awhile….Sad to say the problem hasn’t gone away. At all….
Couple of “free” gas grills I’ve seen around (how’s that regulator or manifold? – ready to explode??)
Corner of 49th and Forney and another at 44th and Genessee. Man I wish I had a truck – I could take those babys and spiff ’em up! Thanks litterbugs for the opportunity!

935ParticipantFree….lumber??
Some great “throwback” apparently not “throw away” 2×4’s on the west side of 46th and Andover. They are in a warped state of weathering. Look like they have been eaten by rot or other….Better hurry and get them. They’ve only been out there this whole week!!

935ParticipantPERFECT TIMING for someone looking for a couple of couches. Right there at Fauntleroy and Dawson (well a little south at the bus stop) Get ’em before the rain does, or they might be ruined GASP!!
Unless they were left out as a courtesy for the bus riders…Litterbugs STINK

935ParticipantHey! How about a waterlogged love seat on Andover, just east of California??
There’s a old school AM/FM receiver just east of 42nd, get a two’fer today!November 1, 2018 at 5:37 pm #932455
mark47nParticipantWhat, precisely, do you intend to accomplish with this other than to stoke your own fury?
November 2, 2018 at 11:10 am #932500
935ParticipantHey Mark47n – thank you for the question!
My intentions are threefold, fury aside, litter is a growing issue – broken window theory….
1) Call attention to those in our (overly used pronoun) Community intent on trashing the place. Hoping they *might* get the message and stop putting their caca in the public right of way. Take it to the dump. Cal SVDP Call use Second, Call the will of the Good….If they don’t want it, it’s probably trash…Call the management of waste. All the above will schedule pick up.
B)Hopefully create a groundswell of shaming for those neighbors to call out those who do this…Sure there are phantom dumpers – but let’s solve the homeowners trying to create utopia – via giving away their trash for “free”.
>)Finally: use this blog to let anyone who reads it know where they can get – say…Some rain drenched electronics, or perhaps a filth ridden mattress…It is MY way to tilt at windmills. Stay tuned…The garbage issue grows.

anonymeParticipantThe SDOT contractors for the Arbor Heights sidewalk project are gone, finally – but the mess remains at the NW corner of 35th & 102nd. They came back a week ago and spent several hours loading the wood forms, posts, etc. that they wanted, but left behind the trash – plastic pipes, cardboard, discarded water bottles, etc. Taxpayers paid a bundle for this boondoggle, and they can’t even clean up after themselves. Disgusting. They even had the nerve to yell at me for trying to clean up some of it on their last day.

Sounds like something someone could use in their fireplace or wood stove, rather than putting the 2×4’s into the landfill and rather than burning “firewood” that requires cutting down trees.November 30, 2018 at 10:21 am #934665

FYI everybody, if your incomplete
living room needs an incomplete loveseat, take a look at 47th and Charleston. It is missing the cushions but hey who cares? Your living room set is incomplete anyway.
What luck!!November 30, 2018 at 10:27 am #934672
LuciaParticipantThis burgundy fabric sofa at 49th and Charlestown has unfortunately been there for several rainy days. Who is going to adopt it now? And who is going to take responsibility for removing it?

anonymeParticipantThere is another rain-soaked sofa in a lovely, dead leaf brown fabric on 35th near 100th. I used to be against cameras in public places, but I’ve changed my mind. It would not only help with traffic, but assist in catching other crimes such as illegal dumping and mail theft. Speaking of which, there was a lot of mail dumped on the street at 35th & 102nd yesterday, obviously the cast-offs of mail thieves.
