Dumpster Divers

I'm all for people recycling, but lately the Dumpster Divers in our neighborhood have been quite a nuisance. At first, they would come searching for aluminum, glass and other recycleables early in the morning. Lately, that is occuring all night long. Last night alone, there was someone rummaging around at 12:15 a.m., 2:30 a.m, 3:45 a.m., 4:40 a.m. and again at 6:30 a.m in our alley alone. The problem is that they are knocking bottles around, making a lot of noise, and leaving trash all over the alley. During the summer, we leave our windows open and it is quite disturbing to be awoken several times during the night by Dumpster Divers clattering about. It is even more disturbing having to pick up trash left outside of the containers that was already disposed of properly the day before. I'm not sure what to do, but I have to be at work by 6:00 a.m. and these people are not being considerate.
