How to stop illegal dumping?

Have a bit of a problem. Live at the end of a terrace on a street. No wheelie bins, rubbish is collected weekly in black bags which are supposed to be tagged.
Being on a laneway, people occasionally leave 'untagged' rubbish beside my house. This has started to become a bit more frequent of recent.

I guess the first step would be to report this to Dublin city council, but I believe people are wise to this & generally don't put post or identifying info in the rubbish.
Usually it's done under the cover of darkness, but I'm wondering what would I do if I actually caught the persons in the act?

Any other thoughts/suggestions on how to deal with this?
I don't want to go down the "hi-tec" route, survelance, webcams etc.

Thanks.

Would you consider installing a PIR sensor light? Also, get a sign that says the area is protected by cctv. It just might work.

If you call the council, they may decide to install a camera and investigate for themselves.

+1 for a sign...even if you don't bother with the camera. It highlights that you know someone is dumping there and that you are watching.

I put a sign up at a holiday home & it made a big difference. You can even buy "mock" cameras.

I'd certainly contact DCC as people are frequently stupid enough to leave bills and addresses in their rubbish!!

Fake video camera would be the easiest thing to try.
