I live in a neighborhood near a college campus and the neighbors on both sides of my house throw garbage on their lawns that consequently blows onto my lawn. I must then, of course, if I don't want my yard to look piggish because of it, pick up their garbage. One of the neighbors actually throws cigarette butts on my lawn. I think people should at least have enough pride to keep their yards, however humble, free of trash.
Anyway, I don't know either of these neighbors well (and don't really care to). One is a house of undergraduate college kids and the other belongs to an older lady whose son does not work, but collects junk cars. I'm considering leaving notes in their mailboxes asking them to refrain from throwing trash on their lawns (which then blows onto mine). Is this an acceptable way to go about it?
