Comment on I have an apartment where the dumpster is a car's drive away, and taking trash down involves 4 staircases. What is the best way to ameliorate this situation?

  The dumpster is so far away that they recommend driving a car instead of walking.

    That’s the obvious interpretation.

    If it is the correct interpretation, in what country is this legal? I’d be getting the tenants together to take the landlord(s) to court, if that is the correct interpretation and it is a country with laws about this sort of thing. But I don’t know if it is the correct interpretation or what country we’re talking about.

      The US has very anti-tenant leanings in the judiciary, and bureaucracy overall.

        So does every capitalist country. It’s very hard to imagine it being legal to rent an apartment without providing trash disposal.

        Are we talking an actual car’s drive, or a USians idea of a distance that cannot be walked?

  The dumpster is too far to walk to when carrying garbage bags, I’d guess.

    But how far is that?

      About 30 bathtubs long.

  It usually means you reside in a multi-block sized apartment complex and that the dumpsters are on one end of the complex rather than being centrally located, and your apartment is on the other end… and those distances feel doubled if it is raining, or there is snow or ice on the ground.
