ACCUSED HOARDER COLLECTS TRASH AGAIN

Rats, rats, rats!

Getting rid of the hoard doesn't deal with why there's a hoard. This guy needs serious help. I feel for these neighbors.

This is none of anyone's business. The guy needs help obviously but the news doing a report on this is just pointless gossip.

Another reason to live in a deed restricted community.

Hoarding is a mental illness, the neighbors just need to mind there own business. Hopefully that man can get counseling, which is what he needs. At least he's not throwing parties and loud music etc

When you start dreaming about having an overbearing HOA.

Open the asylums back up.

How come the city can make you cut the grass and keep it tidy,yet they can't make clean all that crap.A lady got a notice because her grass was to high.

Again I’ll say it! Lock the drug abusers up for YEARS! Crazy people need to be plucked from society. They affect everything around them.

It's his house he can do whatever he wants … Leave him alone…

Just give him a volunteer position at the county landfill. He will be able to "play" with trash all day 5 days a week.

So we have crime like never before, totally out of control and everybody ignores the fact of who these people are. Instead of capital punishment for drug dealers, mandatory life for drug possession , instead of deporting illegal this old man collecting recycling trash is the problem. If he were black the media would have the heartbreaking story of the poor descendent of slaves forced to collect trash by racist Americans. Or the poor illegals forced to collect garbage.
And while the world focuses on this horrible man who causes such a big problem one block away there are drive by shootings, murders, people are dealing drugs, fighting each other but they are a certain disadvantaged demographic and the media protects them
Leave this poor man alone !
Pinellas is full of horrible government harrassers telling you what to do on your own property.

At least someone recognized this is a sickness.

Wouldn't that cause snakes and rats and raccoons???that carry diseases.

Mental illness is real!

Hoarding is a mental illness. Would you remove the alcohol from an alcoholic's home and call them cured? Of course not. If you just remove the trash without treating the disease, it won't make a lick of difference. And criminalizing mental illness is even worse.

Dealing with hoarders is right up there with trying to reason with tweakers.

The neighbors need to mind the business that pays them.

Leave the guy alone. It’s his property

"I don't know if he's gonna end up with a card 'uh' cord on his name."
