So I just moved and am woken up VERY OFTEN way too early.
What would you do and who would you call?
I moved behind a school yard. I knew in advance it would be noisier during the school day and even after school. I expected quiet during the noise ordinance.
I called 852-cops, the non emergency police line and they told me there should be no noise until 7 a.m. That sounds fair.
IMAGINE waking up (2 days in a row so far this week) multiple times a week at 4 a.m. (Yes they usually come between 4 and 4:15) by smashing dumsters! It takes about 5 minutes and always after that I can not go back to sleep. Like now actually.
They also start mowing the lawn before 6 am... no kidding. They have headlights on their mowers. I mean I am going INSANE!!!!!! I love my new house, but these 2 things wake me up SO often during the week. I am so tired! I feel like My cousin Vinny did!!

Hmmm, I'm not sure there's much you can do about the dumpster situation. As far as the mowing goes, you probably need to contact the school. In the meantime, invest in a white noise machine and blackout curtains. It won't solve the problem, but it will help.

I agree.

I agree.
Do blackout curtains help with noise too? I sleep fine, except for the noise.
Do you really think theres nothing I can do about the dumpsters? At my school they come during the school day. Why cant they go to businesses before dawn and then residential areas after the noise ordinance expires. KWIM? I never realized how loud it was until it happened at night. Its like a 5 minute car crash!

Re: So I just moved and am woken up VERY OFTEN way too early.
Totally understand how you feel. We moved this spring and our garbage men wake us up 2 times a week and the recycling 1 time a week. The garbage men like to reverse down the street which then activates that terrible beeping sound. It wakes DS up immediately. I've never had my garbage picked up so early (between 6-6:30) in my life so I'd love to just kill them. That said there's absolutely nothing that can be done. I'm sorry you are dealing with this. I think it is going to be difficult for you to get anywhere by calling the school but I guess it is worth the try.

Thats another thing. I live on the end of a culdesac and they do the same thing, back the whole way out. They also come early, usually by 7, but Im picking my battles. 7 I can deal. 4... absolutely not. I will figure it out, but it can not happen. It absolutely insane.

Maybe you can contact the town and/or get a petition together with your neighbors?
I feel for you, I just moved out of a very noisy apartment.

Re: So I just moved and am woken up VERY OFTEN way too early.
I'm sorry, that stinks. Earplugs will work wonders though. I used to sleep with them every night when I lived in Manhattan.
Our building was across from a fish store. Every morning at around 4 a van would show up do deliver fish. Instead of maybe calling the owner or something to open up, he would sit out front and honk the horn until the guy opened the door! Annoying!

Wouldn't mowing the lawn at 6am violate some sort of town noise ordinance ?
Garbage pickup you really can't do anything about.

That is terrible! I thought it was bad on my block...the garbage men come at 7 and always wake my daughter up, banging and clanking and yelling out loud at each other. But 4am?? Thats totally obnoxous and I would be just as frustrated as u :(. Cant hurt to get your neighbors together to at least TRY to fight it. Good luck!

Yup, Weds and Sat is our dumpster morning at the crack of dawn. I feel your pain! I am usually up early anyway but it always wakes me up. Luckily my kids sleep through it.

Re: So I just moved and am woken up VERY OFTEN way too early.
Well I called the owner of the dumster company. She seemed real nice, said it wasnt acceptable and would fix it and to call her directly if it happened again. I wouldnt see why it cant be done, even if its through the town. The ordinance is there for a reason.

I think you may eventually get used to the dumpster noise. I moved from a very quiet neighborhood to a busy street in Bklyn and after sometime sirens, garbage trucks, drunk people didn't bother me any more.
