      With a pack of traffic cones you can block off the street. Doesn't do anything about the dumpster, but may help cyclists and infuriate automoboids.

      Locally an 80lb bag of instant concrete is $5 while storms are free. If it has a lid you can make it unusable, if it has truck connection points you can make it unserviceable, and either will have financial penalties for the person renting it. That person now knows it isn't welcome in that spot. If the spot is illegal, reporting it to the city with either of the above starts the clock for fines.
