Illegal dumping remains common in many places. In Melbourne, one street has become a repeated dump site. Local residents say they are fed up. In Victoria, a man removed several trailers of rubbish abandoned 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 are working harder to stop illegal foraging. Their crackdown continues through October. In Lagos, a waste management agency is getting young people to help keep the surroundings cleaner.
