what in the heck is he doing with that many printers???
I’ll take them so I can extract the servos.
I couldn’t afford the consumables for that many printers.
His wife's name is Dot Matrix?
This happened to a neighbor of mine. It wasn’t printers, just a lot of junk. In most urban and suburban areas you can’t simply turn your property into a junk yard.
Back in a previous lifetime we had a simple solution that involved a rope and a small plot on boot hill. The world has become so complicated these days. :(
I suppose indoors is already full, and/or he’s auditioning for Hoarders.
He must be a Rat voter, or Big Media would have already leaped at the chance to call him a white {printer box} nationalist.
“Hey buddy, you wanna buy a printer?”
If he paid for the property it is his to do with.
Hoarders like this guy are mentally ill and don’t care about their neighbors or their property values. I’ve seen far worse.
What is missing in this picture? A strong, motivated HOA :)
He thought it would brighten everyone’s day.
Each box has a smile on every side.
The homeowner was quoted, saying, “It’s what Jeff Bezos wanted me to do with them!”
A little strange.
This is a report from a Hawaiian newspaper
about a New Hampshire resident
that won’t clean up his Salem Massachusetts property ?
His brother Norman, would never hurt a fly or a printer.
And these “journalists” learned zip about the origins, the reason, for the collection of boxes, supposedly containing printers? Fake news.
Lot of unanswered questions. All we know is a guy has thousands of boxes in a Salem, MA yard, presumably full of printers. Not even an attempt to get a backstory.
Another very sloppy news article. Nobody is taught proper journalism anymore: Who, what, where, when and why?
Michael Bates found himself back in court after failing to clean up his property in Salem, MA.

Hmm...
Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta.
There’s some answers in this article:
SALEM, N.H. — Michael Bates cited his divorce, the Chinese ban on recyclables and an emotional decision to close his liquidation business as the reasons printer boxes are piled 5-feet high in the backyard of his home at 45 Maclarnon Road.
Salem town officials have been working for nearly a year to get the homeowners, Bates and his estranged wife Christina, to clean up the property.
Neighbors say the house has been empty for months and they are fed up with the trash. According to neighbor John Manning, the pile is attracting rats.
That is a lot of printers
When I lived in Southern NH there were virtually no zoning rules. You would see a double wide with three generations of cars on blocks literally next door to an $800,000 home.
On one hand all this kind of regulation was done locally. On the other hand it was almost impossible to enforce. The Sheriff would go out ten or twelve times with warnings, citations, etc.
It was fun to watch the old Yankees get into it with the flatlanders.
