Illegal dumping remains common in many places. In Melbourne, one street turned into a repeated dump site. Local residents say they have had enough. In Victoria, a man took away several trailers of rubbish abandoned in a state forest. Douglas Shire now employs a dedicated officer to enforce dumping rules.

In Gurugram, residents demonstrated against waste dumping that took a toll on local roads. South Korean forest authorities are intensifying patrols to stop illegal foraging. Their crackdown goes through October. In Lagos, a waste management agency is recruiting young people to help keep the surroundings cleaner.
