1. Call the local housing authority. You can't convert a garage to living space without a permit, and there's probably a law about how many people can live in a house and how many cars can be parked there. You should also call the local garbage collection agency and let them know that the neighbors are putting garbage in front of your house. They're probably not paying that bill and are using your house. .
2. You need to go talk to them yourself. Tell them to stop putting their trash on your lawn. Be up front about it. Im pretty srue leagally there isnt much you can do uless you ahve a video tape of them putting trash on your lawn.
3. Call the police up the next time they do it . And file a complaint that someone is leaving all kinds of foul smelling trash cans in front of your house . The law states that the trash receptacles that are left on the curb for pick up shall be place in front of the home it originates from . Other wise people who did not pay their trash bills and got a stop pick up order . Could place all their trash in front of someone else's home .
4. talk to zoning, the police and the health department.
5. I lived in California, and I think there is a limit as to how many trash barrel you are allowed to put out for pick-up. We had those big green tubs with lids on, we never had more than two at any one time! If you suspect living conditions within that house are bad, you could call the Health Department, and, the cars, are they ALL registered and carry current tags? If they don't that is also a violation, and they can be towed. Call the police if you can prove they are not legal.
6. I don't think you should call the police, maybe talking to them would help but then again they may be just a--holes...contact the ppl that come and pickup your trash, they should be under your phone under water or sewer dept. Let them know that these ppl keep leaving their trash in front of your yard, and ask them is there a way you can make it so when they pick up your trash they know whose is whose, b/c in my county we get charged for having trash in/near another neighbors yard, they'll put a sign right in front of our door.
