Is there anything I can do to stop it legally??

It is against the law to dump your trash in a dumpster that does not belong to you. In Virginia this carries up to a $5000 fine and/or up to a 2 year jail sentence, I think. But, unless a cop rolls up on the person in the act, it's a hard one to enforce.
But on the bright side, at least they're not burning their old furniture in the front yard as is the practice in some areas of the country.
