I was thinking about rigging a rubber balloon filled with wet glitter or baking soda to pop when the lid swings open... I had also contemplated pepper spray but that's illegal so nah...

I had an evil thought, You don't happen to live in Maricopa County do Ya Stark?

Lol, yes, yes I do.

Tar and turkey feathers ...

Feathered and tarred with no shirt on? Oooh, *steeples fingers* deliciously evil :)

Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.

Confront him:

"I say, would you mind awfully taking your rubbish and shoving it up your own backside, there's a good chap."

If you can manage a posh British public school accent as necessary to carry such a line off.

whatever county you are in, that is theft of services.. just as if he had plugged his phone into your line.

You have photo evidence, now confront him, tell him he has to stop. If he does not take the video to the sheriff department.

That would be the good neighbor way to handle it. If you want to start WWIV,
print out that picture and display it on top of your trash can.

As others have said - maybe polite confrontation one last time and if he's not interested or gets abusive, call the cops.

This used to happen at my last house - the neighbours put heavy rubble / concrete in my bin one week and the bin men refused to move it, so I emptied the lot over the wall into their garden and put a note through their door. They didn't do it again!

I think Andy is on the right track. Return his garbage to him, with a note explaining why.

We had troubles a few years back with a new neighbour's dog using our front lawn. My wife start collecting the droppings, and left a bag on their front step with a note attached. No further problems.

Or some form of spring loaded contraption to surprise him when he opens the lid.

...

Lol, yea, I'd play with the guy a little, then if he did it again I'd involve the authorities.
Just keep the camera rolling.
