Someone mentioned "Hillbillies & Rednecks on the mainland" earlier...Hmm, I think I ressemble that. I sell Farm & Ranch land here in Tx. It's common for ranches to have a dump. The practice of dumping their trash including but not limited to, appliances, cars, batteries etc.. was very common up untill the 80s.
It,s not as bad as it once was but they're still very common place. Most ranchers have stopped. It's now common for the buyer of a ranch to request an eviornmental impact study. As well, accompanying any contract is a required Disclosure Form. If the seller fails to disclose it's a pretty big fine. These home dumps although not to un-sightly (they are usually hidden at the back of, or hard to reach area of the ranch) due tend to leach into the ground water etc..
Now as for the next door neighbor stuff.. hmm not cool at all. We don't have that here (to many guns
Standard procedure here would be to call the sheriff/law enforcement etc.. Take pictures while the sheriff is there. He (sheriff/deputy) talks to the neighbor. If they do it again the sheriff comes out looks at the picture looks at the site, writes the offender a ticket etc.. another scenario would be that you call up a couple of friends and go next door and.. well use your imagination. In either scenario the sheriff is going to end up there. I'm older now and would go with the Sheriff plan. Also.. here, if your property errodes on to their property you could be responsible for any damages incurred that result from said errosion.
Sooo.. there you have it from a redneck mainlanders POV. Sorry for the ramble, Aloha.
Take care,
dave
