Dumping/trash in the back alley

[Sam Faas]

I have a SFH vacancy that has a back alley. Each time I go by, someone seems to have dumped more trash there.

I have installed the fake cameras and plenty of signage but that doesn’t seem to deter whoever is throwing it.  I have found trash there with a mailing label of a neighbor but am unsure how to confront that person.

I have bulk trash services through the city but the items outside the trash can are not picked up.  Not sure if it’s even worth complaining to the city.

I am at wit’s end here and don’t know what else to do?   Open to any and all ideas.

Thank you all for the great advice, I'll report back if it makes any difference.

Another thought I had, was to canvass the neighborhood and introduce myself as their neighbor, I would imagine it's a lot harder to throw trash on someone's property when you know them.
