AIBU dead neighbour

[Soggymacaroon]

So my hoarder neighbour died just after Christmas. She was an old lady, really nice but mad as a box of frogs. Anyway her family started clearing her house immediately but have just piled her stuff in her back garden, fair enough but it’s now been there weeks. With the storm it’s blowing rubbish everywhere. I know they’re grieving but AIBU to be a bit pissed off. My husband and I have offered to help but they didn’t want any and are instead just relying on the weekly rubbish collection. Is there anything I can do and not be a total bellend at the same time? It’s not food rubbish just house crap EVERYWHERE!

Don't you just love it when someone comes along like @Hepsibar gives advice without rtft. 🤣
Even better when posts before are all saying Excellent, Good job, glad you sorted it 🤣

The council have called round today and had a chat with the us. We again made it clear about the situation and they are going to offer to help the family clear the rubbish FOC!

This is brilliant. It's wonderful that you have been able to get them the additional help that they obviously needed.

Brilliant update op!

Question. (For my benefit)
Can one report a rubbish problem anonymously ?

Good to hear this! Hope it’s all swiftly sorted now

I've never seen such ridiculous responses on MN.

I did the house clearance after a hoarder parent died, and I would bet my wallet that some of the earlier responders would have screamed blue murder if I'd turfed out everything in that house on to the front lawn next door to their house.

I'd have been given precisely one inch for "grieving" and it would have been retracted the first day that the mountain of old newspapers started blowing over the street!

When I reported it online there was an option to do it anonymously but I'm not sure if every council is different.

It's not judging and it's not insensitive.

Everyday people grieve whilst still having to organise and manage things. It's very sad when a loved one dies but most people still manage to do things without causing health hazards for other people. I'm sure there must be at least one person in the grieving family who can manage to keep going to help sort out the mess.

Hopefully the council can help the family to get organised and the mess sorted out.
