Illegal dumping remains common in numerous communities. In Melbourne, one street has become a repeated dump site. Local residents say they have had enough. In Victoria, a man removed several trailers of rubbish left in a state forest. Douglas Shire now employs a dedicated officer to deal with dumping rules.
In Gurugram, residents objected to waste dumping that took a toll on local roads. South Korean forest authorities are working harder to stop illegal foraging. Their crackdown runs through October. In Lagos, a waste management agency is recruiting young people to help make the surroundings cleaner.
