elkaholic Report post Posted January 1, 2017 fireworks started at 7 didn't really stop till after midnight - rarely a break for 10 minutes Crap everywhere up and down streets sidewalks roof tops my pool roof yard full of debris I try to be a good neighbor but last night was enough! I kindly left a signed note to please move this type of activity someplace else it's been on going in the past but not this much am I a party pooper ? I'm happy for the New Year too Lots of good things to look forward too - but to wake up and have to clean up someone else's celebration wasn't in my plans especially the pool - plastics cardboard - colored blobs from the fireworks etc. curbside pics this am basically less than 75 yrds away in cult-a-sac--- one house away +++ added +++ some may think ooooowww aaaaah fireworks but having windows shake and sonic loud booms for hrs isn't my idea of fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ8 Report post Posted January 1, 2017 Same in my neighborhood. Started before sunset and went on until 4am. It was a "bit" over done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkaholic Report post Posted January 1, 2017 I'm pretty sure in Mesa and Gilbert they are allowed by city ordinances - not Phoenix! -- this is one home -- not the neighborhood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted January 1, 2017 Sorry if you live close to me. We only blew stuff up for about an hour 10-11. Most of the trash is still in my yard and the vacant lot next door. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeke-BE Report post Posted January 1, 2017 I had alot of the good stuff! But i also have a push broom and a bucket of water and a trash bag. Light it off and dump it in the bucket and put it in the trash. My street was clean and this was all before 9:30. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted January 2, 2017 Yeah, people need to clean it all up when they are done. I was back on Long Island last year for the 4th and went with my nephew and his wife to a bash at a friend house. They had the street blocked off and about 100 people there and probably blew up $50K worth of firework over a couple of hours. All done by 11PM and then six guys with leaf blowers cleaned it all up and loaded up two dumpsters. Clean as a whistle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzDiamondHeat Report post Posted January 2, 2017 I don't mind the noise(I confess I am often making the noise) but I can't STAND when people don't clean up their mess. It's a character issue and not a holiday issue with those that behave that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
