Illegal dumping remains common across many areas. In Melbourne, one street has become 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 protested waste dumping that caused damage to local roads. South Korean forest authorities are working harder to halt illegal foraging. Their crackdown continues through October. In Lagos, a waste management agency is involving young people to help keep the surroundings cleaner.
