Dumpster in drive of neighborhood home- How to approach situation

[Daniel R.]

This past week, a dumpster has popped up in 2 (not 1 as the title says- character limits!) driveways in my neighborhood, which is something that never happens here!  Earlier this week,  a monster one was dropped off and filled in the same day.  I had been thinking for the last year plus that this house was the one on my block that met the perfect "driving for dollars" criteria- yard never kept up, weeds growing from gutters, chipping paint, etc.  The second home belonged to an elderly lady in which the dumpster was dropped off and filled two days later.  Just curious when you see something like this, is it already too late?  Did somebody else already get the deal?  How would you approach the situation as an interested buyer?  Have you had any success stories reaching out to "dumpster homes?"  Thanks for the input!
