This might be true in wealthier and low-density areas. In India, for example, garbage disposal is a real problem, compounded by the fact that there have been no real recycling policies until recently [1]. Also, I am confused by the argument that ‘space is not a constraint’. If that was the case, you wouldn’t expect 1.6 Mn sq. m of the Pacific Ocean to be filled with trash. And it’s been growing.
