Dacha neighbors dump garbage under our fence, into the forest. The smart device that solved the problem
We rarely visit the country. Summer cottage at the edge of the forest. We come mainly to relax from the city, to hear the silence. Nearby is the cottage of neighbors who decided to store garbage near our site in the bushes (sticks, rags, metal, branches and even food waste). The smell is incredible, especially when the wind is blowing.
Neighbors dump garbage when we are not at the dacha. Once there was a pile of rubbish under our fence. I tried to talk, but they don't want to listen to anything.
Good conversation doesn't work out. At first we said that wherever we want, we dump the waste there. Now they have changed their minds and say that they are not doing it.
Other neighbors dump garbage on the side of the road or take it into the forest. We tried to invite all the neighbors to clean up the forest, collect garbage and take it out. But they told me this: "You have nothing to do, so take it out." Once my wife and I decided to clean the forest from debris. Removed several heaps. On our next visit to the dacha, the garbage magically reappeared.
How to prevent, resolve this situation?
I do not want to scandalize and spoil relations with people. There are fire safety rules, which say that owners must regularly remove garbage and mow the grass. And if the neighbors still continue to do their business, you can send an application to the administration, Rosprirodnadzor or Rospotrebnadzor. If these services do not respond, which is extremely rare, then you can write to the prosecutor's office.
It is better to write via the Internet or come in person and give the letter to the secretary or another department. But you need to have proof. It could be video or photo.
But what should we do if we cannot sit in the country every day, guarding every neighbor?
Trick is a smart device
Phototrap will fix those who dump the garbage. You will be able to see those who visit your site and, possibly, pick berries, apples, vegetables for your absence. Or maybe wild animals or a family of hedgehogs love to be in your garden. This is also interesting to watch.
Exactly camera trap will take the necessary photos, videos and send it to you by mail or to the owner's phone. The device is similar to a video recorder with a motion sensor. The device is also called a forest chamber.
The plus is that you do not need an electricity connection. Can be rearranged anywhere. The camera trap can be easily attached to a tree, fence, etc. Then show photo to neighbors and if you tell your next steps. If this does not affect them, then apply to the services indicated above with photos and videos.
