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

In Gurugram, residents demonstrated against waste dumping that damaged local roads. South Korean forest authorities have stepped up efforts to put a stop to illegal foraging. Their crackdown goes through October. In Lagos, a waste management agency is getting young people to assist in keeping the surroundings cleaner.
