"Trash House" cleaned up today, Los Angeles, even the mayor stopped by

everyone says that he's a nice guy but gathers trash then tosses it in the yard. Even today, clean up day, news media says he went out and collected recyclables and tossed them in the yard. Guy needs mental help. The house has been cleaned up before



A trash-covered home in L.A. draws outrage, worry and a 'Hoarders' producer

For years, mounds and mounds of trash have surrounded a Spanish bungalow in Los Angeles' Fairfax neighborhood.

The front yard holds hundreds of white trash bags stacked 5 to 6 feet high. The bags are joined by a tangle of buckets and accumulated debris, like shoes, scooters, empty jugs, newspapers, Levi's jeans and old Parliament cigarette cartons.

Images from SkyFOX show multiple cars on the property buried underneath bags of trash. Piles of trash can be seen in the front and back yards.

The lawn is not visible. A short metal fence cloaked in ivy blocks off the property. The moat of trash in the yard reaches the driveway, encasing a red Toyota Corolla Twin Cam in crumpled tarps, coat hangers, broom handles, coffee cups, more newspaper and more plastic bags.

Nearby, an old downspout has been refashioned into a sign with handwritten instructions to the U.S. Postal Service: "Deposit U.S. mail here," with an arrow pointing to a bucket on the ground.
For as long as they can remember, residents in this stretch of Martel Avenue just south of Melrose have complained to L.A. city officials of overgrown vegetation, mounds of trash and junk.
