Are you getting charged extra for the additional cans?

I find this hard to fathom as I’ve also just put the cans on my property and so have my neighbors.

Do you want to go straight to DEFCON? Do they speak English? Maybe they did not understand?

Make the trip longer for them.
Pop one of the endcaps off the axle that holds the wheels on.

Or twenty seven 8x10 color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against them.

Get some liquid fertilizer and go make some art in their yard. It’ll be extra green, and way harder for them to make go away....

Yeah they speak perfect English. He's from San Diego and she from eastern Europe somewhere. We try to be nice neighbors and always ask nicely but the the answer has always been "Yeah" turn and walk back into the house.

All this stupid stuff over the placement of a trash can. Only if people just participate in simple courtesy, this place would be so much better. There's absolutely nothing in front of their house to keep them from leaving their can there. I scratch my head weekely over it in disbelieve. Oh yeah, like your friend, their cans are out for a couple days sitting on the corner of their house just right off the sidewalk.

If so I would roll them back in front of their property, run a ratchet strap around them bottom to top, flip them upside down and remove ratchet strap.

Bet they'll stop by next trash day.

Yeah, those are it. I like that idea.

The old Fred would let my anger fester and build inside , until one day, I loose my schit right in front of them, and threw all of their trash, and my own trash all over their yard, in a most insane way while yelling obscenities at them .

Dump s bag of fish guts in them a few times after the truck has emptied them. The SoCal sun will make sure the smell soaks into the cans nicely. Nice lingering stench

We already have irresponsible dog owner do that with their dog siht. It never fails, there's always a bag or two of gifts from them after trash truck empties the cans on Tuesdays. I tried a note with a large marker, but these dog owners don't seem to read English too well.

Each week you should do something different.

Week one: Glop some axle grease across the bottom of the handle where they can't see it until they have grabbed it. They won't have anything to wipe their hands with since the garbage man just emptied it.

Week two: If it is watertight, grab your garden hose and fill them with 70-80 gallons of water or something.

Week three: Zip tie the two cans together by the handles so they can't roll with those heavy duty industrial zip ties.

Do you pay individually for collection or is it "free", handled by the municipality?

If the later, do they know that?

Actually, "do they know that" could apply in both scenarios.

We pay the city. They could care less where they are place.

So each resident pays individually?

Maybe the neighbors don't want to pay?

As in, they put them in front of your house so THEY don't have to pay.

Ok the serious question is what would you do? I have tried every month or two to ask them about it when I see them pulling their trash cans over on my side. Its usually very late in the evening, so I go out and ask politely with no result. This has been going on for just about a year. My wife is really sick of it and we get into it and I have to deal with that. Would you just come un-glue? Diplomacy isn't working too well for us

Water and power and sewer are all on the same bill. City of LA does the raping to all citizens.
