Advice on how to get a annoying/rude neighbor to stop?
There is this old Asian lady that lives in the 3rd floor of my condo, who picks up all kinds of soda cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles to sell to recycling centers. She earns some kind of salary, so she does it frequently, however, at that expense, she causes a lot of problems. She puts all these bottles in a bag and then afterwards when she sorts it out, she spills all the cans on the floor which causes a lot of the fluids from the bottles to come out, which brings a lot of bugs near my condo and the rotting scent of the bottles causes the air near the area where she sorts the bottles. The first time that I had a problem with her was when she tried to sort her bottles on the path to my drive way. I had to drive through her bottles to get in my driveway. The second problem was today. My dad woke up to the sounds of the bottles clanking constantly. He told her to stop because of the noise she was making and the smell, but she shrugged it off and continued to sort her cans. Should she cause any problems regarding the bottles from the noise she makes to the smell, is there any way I can legally sue, or even simply fine her?
I know that complaints would not work since she did not listen to my dad. My grandma even said that there was a lot of complaints filed on her, but regardless she ignored all the complaints and just continued to annoy the neighbors.

First, contact your condo superintendant or building manager. next, contact local health officials. as a last resort, when she uses your property, to sort her bottles and cans, contact the police, and have her charged with trespassing or illegal business, and get yourself a lawyer. Good luck

Spray her with a garden hose. In the process of doing that, you're washing the bugs and liquid from the cans and bottles out of your immediate area, possibly even moving the cans and bottles away themselves, and teaching the old bat not to mess with you. She might even smell better once you spray her with a garden hose. If she gets angry, just say you thought you were watering plants, but mistook her hair for some dead weeds. I bet she won't sort the cans and bottles near you again. Problem solved.
