Many ants will put sand and stones on puddles near their nest since puddles pose a drowning risk. It's a safety measure. Ants see liquid as dangerous and respond with "put rocks on it" ... I wonder if putting debris on your neighbors nest is a variation on this behavior. Maybe involving similar pheromones?
It could also be that unwanted neighbors and the trash pile are part of a similar category for ants... which is hilarious.
