| Glad I don't have those boxes My next door neighbor has a transformer, a Comcast box and a Millennium Cable "stump" on her lawn.
The Verizon FIOS are in ground and have a small covering on them. |

| If I were to find one of those things on my property... BELIEVE ME! I'll make sure the company who owns it has to come and service it at least twice a week. I'll run a waterhose right to it make sure I get some kind of solvent inside of it.
No one is putting their crap on my property. |

You signed a right of way/utility easement agreement when you purchased your dwelling that allows utility companies to install their equipment as long as it's for the public good. |

Joey,
Best read your property deed for easements before making rash statements about what you are going to do. You could look like quite the fool in court as the defendant. |

Theres a fine line for "As long as it's for the public good." from utility companies.

| So hold on...
The utility company is NOT Paying my Property Taxes, is not giving me free cable, phone, internet, or better yet... paying me... and they can come and put up their box on my property... HELL FREAKEN NO!
If it's on my property is MINE then. |

| Please do yourself a favor and study your deed for utility easements and the requirements placed upon you by the deed restrictions on the utility easements. You might just sound like a reasonable person, then. |

said by Austinloop:Best read your property deed for easements before making rash statements about what you are going to do. I have read my property deed. The public easement is the last ten feet in my backyard.
The local utilities have installed things in that last ten feet. This I can do nothing about.
What I have done and continue to do is to deny them access across my property to the easement. Meaning they have to go through the neighbors yard and hop the fence. I have also installed retaining walls at 10'6" (I am giving them and myself 6" of slack) from the property line to prevent the utilities from trashing my yard with heavy machinery.

"Meaning they have to go through the neighbors yard and hop the fence."
Or they can take down the fence built across the RoW. |

HELL FREAKEN NO! If it's on my property is MINE then. I concur with others, check your deed. If the utilities have placed poles, boxes, etc., on "your" property, likely they have an easement, and you have no recourse. Unless they have built outside of the boundary of the easement.
And they do pay fees to the government; or, at the least, make certain concessions as a consideration for getting that easement.

HELL FREAKEN NO! If it's on my property is MINE then. Eaiser than burning it or running over it in a pickup truck, just bury it. Cover the thing in crap (find all the most disgusting things that you can), then throw tons of grass seed all over it. It will grow into a nice law lump and cause all the equipment underneath to overheat. They will have fun digging it out and the smell will probably make some of them puke when they "break" that methane pocket open. |

And when companies tout their services as being a luxury rather than a utility, and challenge you to just cancel if their serve is sub-par and you dare complain, it does more than just look like they're for private good. |

said by flyingjoey:No one is putting their crap on my property. If you run a title report (You did this before you bought it, right, so you completely understood what you were "buying"?), you'd find out that it's not really "your" property. Not 100% yours, anyway.
Every urban/suburban/subdivision lot has significant "clouds" on the title; i.e., other entities have non-negligible rights to the property. They were there when you bought it.
It could be worse. Owners of properties with long-forgotten mining easements have returned from vacation, only to find their house bulldozed, and replaced by a big hole in the ground.  |
