SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 days agoI think best first step is have a chat with him. If he is elderly maybe he has someone already helping him with gardening, maybe ask the leaves be swept from your side too? But you would need to give them access. But genuinely, why not just sweep and put it in the green bin? Why would you blow it into the street? I live in a leafy area. Sometimes neighbours trees leaves fall in my yard. Sometimes mine fall in theirs. Sometimes street tree leaves blow in everyone’s yards. Put it in the bin and enjoy having a nice tree around.

I know that him and my rental provider do not get along so although he’d possibly do it for me, him doing it for this place might not go so well as a conversation topic. Probably worth trying but am a pom and so that kinda conversation never happens.
Green bin isn’t viable as in my council that’s the food bin, and lots of the bark is as big as or even longer than my arm. So that would be no food waste bin space for 4 weeks with then having a 2 week wait after that collection to get rid of things like uneaten bread. And I don’t have the ability to compost myself (also again, rental).
This is like 2 days work that’s only getting worse and I so can’t be arsed. So the chat is probably necessary, but please send help!
