Neighbour throwing vapes into our garden

4 replies

I kept finding plastic things in my garden, which I googled and found they were disposable vapes.
they are being thrown into the side area of my garden, there is only one neighbour who could possibly get there due to the lay out and sizes of our gardens.
out of anger I threw 2 of them into the neighbours garden which ended up back in the spots I originally found them the next day.
Landing in the same place makes me think it is definitely this neighbour.
i know they smoke including weed and they know we don’t smoke.
Im now at the end of my tether because I thought they’d stopped throwing them over after that time, but there is a gap under a fence panel with a hole where a fence post used to be and it’s now full of vapes. My front garden is also littered with them behind my wheelie bins.
I don’t know what to do as the neighbour is generally nice and always says hello when we pass, there haven’t been any fallings out or reason for them to litter our garden but suddenly in the past few weeks we’re finding them every day.
Do I confront them or keep throwing them back over? We’re planning to sell up so I don’t want want the outside areas looking a state.

Post them through the letterbox

Ask them nicely if they know anything or have seen anything. Ask them to keep an eye out as you're considering putting a camera up with a view to making a complaint about littering. See what happens.
Make sure you're wearing your sweetest and most innocent face when you do this.

Line them up on their doorstep

Just bag them all up, knock on the door and explain you have found these in your garden and where, so they know you know it is them. Ask them to please stop doing it I the future. Simple.

If it continues you make a formal complaint to council.
