Yeah, some genius thought, "lets charge money to drop things at the dump to encourage people not to buy crap that ends up in the dump, it will save the planet!"

But the reality is, the dump which has disposal standards costs money, so let's drop trash in pristine wilderness because we won't get caught.
- bluedino 4y agoThe other problem is a landfill or dump is miles and miles away. As you said, they charge money, and they also have rules. You might not be able to throw out bags of household trash, for example. They also usually don't take certain kinds of waste like old tires, construction debris, appliances, paint, batteries, etc. So people just dump it wherever they find empty lots.
