To put this note on the neighbours door

So I live in a street that is basically all student house shares (myself included). One house has left bin bags outside their door (as opposed to in the bin down the street) and they’ve burst so rubbish is EVERYWHERE. I was woken up at 6 after a stressful exam by 20 seagulls on our street and I’m worried we’re going to get rats. Would I be unreasonable to stick this note to their door (I’d post it but I know most people here don’t look at their mail). This is kind of the final straw for me after multiple parties and a street FULL of rubbish is the final straw!

Seems a bit aggressive, just reword to a polite please can you clean up as its attracting vermin and is-an eyesore, and note that if anyone were to report it there would be a fine. If nothing happens then escalate.

While the message is spot on the note itself is a little unhinged. I would write a more professional version and send that if you want to give them a warning, just so you don’t look unstable and get laughed at, or do as PP said and just report it.

Do it. Scumbags.

Just report it.

They won't give a shit.

They'll just laugh at that note I think

I did something similar once but maybe worded it a bit nicer ;-) but no, you ANBU

I know your frustrated but the first point of contact should be polite warning. Not a note like that
That will just get their backs up and they won't wany to do anything for you. I wouldn't

Start polite and then report to council If nothing changes after that

Just report it to the council. A passive aggressive note they’ll howl with laughter at is a waste of time and effort.
