## If the trash from a construction or the like is collected by a private contractor one must stipulate that the pickup not be on Shabbat but it isn't possible and isn't possible to get another contractor it is permitted.<ref>39 Melachos v. 1 p. 86 writes that it is permitted to have a private contractor remove garbage if you couldn't find another option since it is very uncommon to have a private contractor and it is always done as a contract and not paid for by time. Mishna Brurah 244:13 writes that contracting a non-Jew to take out the garbage is a problem of marit ayin. However, Ben Ish Chai (Shana Sheniya, Trumah, no. 3) and Yalkut Yosef 244:1 permit hiring a contractor to remove garbage in front of one's house for a fixed price as long as one doesn't tell them to do it on Shabbat. Then even if they come on Shabbat that is fine since everyone knows that trash removal is done by contracting for a fixed price and not by hour. Tiferet Mishna Brurah 244:13 cites Nediv Lev 10, Zera Emet 1:31, and Yabia Omer 8:28:9 who agree.</ref> | ## If the trash from a construction or the like is collected by a private contractor one must stipulate that the pickup not be on Shabbat but it isn't possible and isn't possible to get another contractor it is permitted.<ref>39 Melachos v. 1 p. 86 writes that it is permitted to have a private contractor remove garbage if you couldn't find another option since it is very uncommon to have a private contractor and it is always done as a contract and not paid for by time.

# It is forbidden to contact a non-Jew to build a house on Shabbat.<ref>Mishna Brurah 144:7 discusses contracting a house on Shabbat if everyone in the town contracts and doesn't hire by the hour. He concludes that some permit but one shouldn't be lenient. Igrot Moshe OC 4:52 writes that because of the rampant desecration of Shabbat we can't be lenient to contract a non-Jew to build a house on Shabbat. Ketav Sofer OC 43 cited by Dirshu 244:6 and Tiferet Mishna Brurah 244:9 agree.</ref> After the fact if someone did contract a house to be built on Shabbat many hold that it is permitted to live in the house.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 244:3 writes that it is proper not to benefit from the house built on Shabbat by non-Jews. Igrot Moshe 3:35 writes that after the fact the house is permitted today since it is generally contracted and not paid for by time. Tiferet Mishna Brurah 244:19 cites the Yabia Omer 8:28:13 who holds that whether the house was contracted or paid for by hiring day workers the house is only forbidden as a chumra.</ref> | # It is forbidden to contact a non-Jew to build a house on Shabbat.<ref>Mishna Brurah 144:7 discusses contracting a house on Shabbat if everyone in the town contracts and doesn't hire by the hour.

# It is forbidden to hire a non-Jew to mow the lawn on Shabbat.<ref>39 Melachos v. 1 p. 83 writes that mowing the lawn is a zilzul Shabbat and having the non-Jew do it is also forbidden.</ref> | # It is forbidden to hire a non-Jew to mow the lawn on Shabbat.<ref>39 Melachos v. 1 p. 83 writes that mowing the lawn is a zilzul Shabbat and having the non-Jew do it is also forbidden. Halacha Brurah 244:4 writes that an activity that is done on something attached to the ground at the Jew's house even though it is generally done as as a contract and not day worker one should be strict unless there is an extenuating circumstance. The Chayei Adam 3:10 is strict since there is a concern that you told the non-Jew to work on Shabbat and Mishna Brurah 252:17 accepts this. However, Halacha Brurah thinks many achronim are lenient and it is dependant on a dispute in the rishonim.</ref> | ||
