There are many hoarders here on the Central Coast.
You can drive past their houses and see that they’ve allowed the overflow of rubbish from the house onto their porches and gardens.
It’s truly sad and shocking.
These people have psychiatric disorders but I know it must be terrible for their neighbours putting up with rodents and stench and of course there’s no way you could sell your house with that next door.
I believe the Council should be able to step in and clean up these people’s houses and gardens without the tenant’s permission as of course their mental problems won’t let them release the rubish they collect.
Failing that – there should be mental health specialists helping the hoarders on a monthly basis to get rid of the garbage they collect.
