Old dying alcoholic who doesn't give a shit anymore? I love this location, it is just plain mysterious while being very very sad. Make the drink toss the seltzer on the floor. Eventually the hall gets deep with bottles. Shove them on the porch.

Ah, but no liquor bottles. Plus, he was diabetic and had a pacemaker. I doubt he drank much in his last years. Remember, most (if not all) of the waste that he generated in the last 15 years is still on site. I suspect that he just really liked seltzer. I, personally, am the same way with diet soda (but ironically, have slowly been moving towards seltzer lately because of health concerns). I'm sure I'd generate a pile this size in less than 15 years.
Of course, hidden under the seltzer bottles is solid gold stolen from the federal reserve bank as seen in "Die Hard With A Vengeance".

So is there any clue what he did with degradable garbage, like old foodstuffs, e.t.c. (throwaway leftovers, chicken fat, that type of thing), and not just your paper and packaging.

The neighbors = my girlfriend's parents. The short answer is that they really didn't care what he did to his property, so never really got involved in his affairs. They tried to help him after his wife died. In all fairness though, my girlfriend's parents are fairly reserved themselves, so I'm sure that they didn't go /too/ far out of their way to try and help.

If they don't even care about HIS property, why are they enforcing trespassing laws?

They didn't care what /he/ did to /his/ property -- but since he died, they now have a vested intrest in acquiring and developing the property. It is now their interest. Also, the neighbors that lived across the street are the ones that are vigilant about guarding the home. These were also the folks that helped Mr. Salomon with basic paperwork and such.

Besides - who wants to come home and find the neighbourhood on fire thanks to some wee ned with a match ?
Things like that affect everyone.

But it seems like a house like this would detract from the property value of all the houses in the neighborhood. That is why towns generally have laws against letting your house look like this.

Here's the thing: his house was surrounded by thick brush and a driveway leads down to his house. You'd never even know that a home was on the lot in the first place unless you went down the driveway. It's one of those dirty neighborhood secrets, I suppose.

Is these bottles have a money back value in NJ? If not, you should take them to NY and you'll get enough gas money to get a beach vacation in FL.

Yep, NJ also has 5 cent deposits for aluminum and plastic cans. The trick is taking them to Michigan, for that extra nickel. There are enough bottles here that it almost makes renting a U-Haul worth it, eh?

I live on the boarder of Ontario and Quebec. Quebec gives a deposit return on soda pop cans but Ontario doesn't. On recycling (blue box) pick up days there usually are people driving around at dawn raiding peoples boxes for cans then crosing over the river and cashing them in. They do fairly well with this secondary income appearently.

Sounds like the "take 5 cent deposits to Michigan to redeem for ten cents" angle.
