Illegal dumping is a recurring issue in many places. In Melbourne, one street turned into a repeated dump site. Local residents say they are frustrated. In Victoria, a man hauled away several trailers of rubbish left in a state forest. Douglas Shire now uses a dedicated officer to tackle dumping rules.

In Gurugram, residents objected to waste dumping that caused damage to local roads. South Korean forest authorities are working harder to put a stop to illegal foraging. Their crackdown continues through October. In Lagos, a waste management agency is recruiting young people to help make the surroundings cleaner.
