This Is NOT Your Dumpster

by Sarah on March 8, 2009

I see this place almost every day and am both amused by the poor setup and impressed by the lengths the owners of the dumpster have gone to in order to clarify who should have access to it.

The dumpster is accessed by this driveway, which is the driveway that belongs to the building on the right (behind the van). The dumpster, however belongs to the building on the left (past the sedan).

The fencing was supposed to keep the dumpter more secure, I think, and separate it from the cars in the parking lot in which it technically lives, but it only reinforces the impression that it is actually a part of the driveway.

This is some serious instructional/error messaging. I bet they wouldn’t need it if they were able to fix the underlying design issue.

How do people from 2535 Kansas get to the dumpster? Do they have to walk out of the building and down to the alley to get access? Geesh, I thought taking the trash out at our house is annoying…

Yes, good point! The dumpster is FAR more accessible to the people who shouldn’t use it than it is those who should.
