Best way dealing with neighbour throwing stuff in your garden

Save it all up and in a few years dump it all back in one go.

I would definitely just throw it back once I was sure of the origin

If you really want to know why, maybe you could ask them.

How are you sure?

Much smaller scale, but I had new neighbours recently tossing cigarette butts over onto my patio - I just fecked them back into theirs.

I was working up to putting some into an envelope and posting them into their letterbox, or if I ever met them handing them back saying "I think you might be missing these, you're welcome", but they've either copped on or moved out (I suspect it was a short term rental)

OP, are these the same people who threw the tree cuttings back into your garden?

If so, all joking aside, you might need to actually try to make contact and establish boundaries - this sounds like something that could grow legs and get way out of perspective/control, needlessly.

Had a similar issue myself a year ago. It turned out it was neighbours very young kid who liked to throw things over the wall (legos etc). I just collected them up in a bag and brought them over. Didn’t make a fuss and it all got sorted amicably.

Is it possible there may be a mental health issue?

Have you spoken to the man?

I totally get how you dont want to make the situation any worse. Maybe yourself and your partner call to their door with a bottle of wine and welcome them to the neighbourhood.

That's a good idea.

Maybe a Christmas card, it's a good time of year to break the ice.

are you actually serious? he is dumping stuff in the ops garden.

Tell him you will report him for dumping if he dares do it again, and have cctv evidence.

Let us know how it goes! I'd love to catch some pr**k in the act doing something like this and then present it back to them having no leg to stand on

Be careful not to go down the rabbithole/get hooked on the camera. You'd be surprised how much those things can consume your thoughts (speaking from experience after setting one up due to neighbour issues as well). If you can't sort it out directly with the neighbour, start making a log of the issues and go speak with your community Garda for advice.

Not sure of the legality of filming any neighbour's back garden...

Edit: I posted this in your other thread:

I would collect the rubbish and leave it on their doorstep.

Could it be that its his child and he might not even know?

Just call in for the Christmas and you will find out.

For some context, it would appear you haven’t read the full thread and the OP has answered the same already. Unless rocks and stuff grow on trees.

I always suspect the same. Generally takes two to tango.

That’s a head wreck of a situation. Whatever happened with the unwanted wall painting? You seem to have an unfortunate set of neighbours OP.

Good luck with it, nothing worse than bad neighbours!!

The market is topping out now( In Dublin market) , prices will then start going down from Jan 2023. It sounds like you need to have a talk with your neighbour.

If there is no communication between you both, small issues will grown into bigger issues, he has just moved in.
