When I moved to my new house, I found that on the back corner of the lot (an alley intersection) folks kept dumping things. I would get a warning from the city to clear it. After paying some big bucks for hauling - several times - I finally got the city to give me "no dumping signs - fines up to 2,500" to post... then for a week or two I went out with my camera every morning and evening to take pictures - and made sure folks saw I was doing it.
Two times since then things have been dumped (one time a 12 pack of expended beers), and later a grocery cart. The first time I came out - looked around - and the next morning the cans and box were gone. The second time, the cart stayed for a day - then when I thought I would have to hike it back to the store - I came home, and it was gone.
The photos may or may not help. Being seen taking the photos.... that makes the point.
