Do NOT eat crab unless it is the DAY before trash pickup!

We need to draft some new city ordinances around here. Some fool next door disposed of crab shells in his trash FIVE DAYS before trash pickup, and the odor is unbearable. I am fully considering renting a hotel room and sending him the bill. I've got a call in to the police and I'm searching www.nolo.com to see what exactly my options are.
