How do you know that they are not paying for additional trash ? Maybe the church does not have enough money to rent a dumpster. Be a little charitable and mind your own business. If all you have to worry about is how much trash your neighbor is putting out then I worry about you.

A non tax paying entity shifting costs to taxpayers. It does matter. Have the members put more in the plate

Theft of services. Hmmm. Isn't there something in the Bible about "thou shalt not steal"? Good Christian ethics at work here. 😒 😇

Could be the person doing this is not aware of this being wrong.

OP has concerns about possible wrong doing in their neighborhood. Suggest you be charitable towards OP as they are concerned about said possible wrongs and is seeking to help rather than just walk on by, minding their own business. When Jesus saw a woman about to be stoned, did he mind his own business?

I disagree. I don't think you can pay for additional trash, especially if it is not residential trash. But, it is everybody's business if trash is being transported from outside The Villages so that Village residents have to pay for it. If the church members want to be charitable, they can haul the church's trash to the landfill and pay for it.

People-it has always been so. "Thou shalt not steal," is read you should not steal from me but I do not hold myself to the same standards as I hold you.

when you see what neighbors put out return it to sender. Or open the bag and see what might be interesting inside.

I would sell one set for double what we paid for it if we would have paid for it.
