Illegal dumping keeps showing up 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 that had been dumped in a state forest. Douglas Shire now uses a dedicated officer to enforce dumping rules.

In Gurugram, residents objected to waste dumping that took a toll on local roads. South Korean forest authorities have stepped up efforts to halt illegal foraging. Their crackdown continues through October. In Lagos, a waste management agency is recruiting young people to help keep the surroundings cleaner.
