The question is how much of a red glow will be put out which might be noticeable to the dumpers who may turn thief.

How far from home? Install a camera and 5.8Hz transmitter and a decent battery, panel and IR LED where it's most obvious.
It will act like a deterrent and you can record the video remotely, as well as observe it to watch for what is going on. You can also install motion alarms and other functions remotely as well.
You may even be able to install a tilt/pan/zoom setup, or put it on a fixed pole at a height at obvious entry points.
Cameras are a very good deterrent. Most people doing stuff wrong will take the easy way out and dump elsewhere. Even if the camera is a decoy and doesn't actually record anything, a camera/panel/antenna setup about 15ft up a pole will deter just about anyone.
