Some people are just evil. I have found a broken lead motorbike battery in a watery ditch near the farm of my brother. When you have fields and see the shit people throw on the land - just because its cheaper then garbage-dump. Only socialized garbage dispossal works. Its goto be cheap, instant, everywhere- else.. Biggest pigs are construction companys (painters) and restaurants (had somebody dump a truck-load of old kepab-meat). You have no recourse. Also highly problematic are plants from gardens. People buy exotic plants, that grow beyond all excpectations, trim them and throw the "compost heap" trash into the forrest. Where it takes root again and things go wild. Once its reported, the bill to clean that up goes to the landowner. Also fun - new building material dumps - stryofoam and brick mixed- dumped in the wilderness and if found by officals, the landowner goto dig it all up and disposse it. Its incredibble how fewfarmers murder people.

> Only socialized garbage dispossal works. Absolutely. In Netherland, there's a general attitude that the polluter has to pay for it, which I generally agree with. The problem is that this means cities will charge money for garbage disposal, sometimes even locking trash containers so they can only be used by residents, but all of that just encourage people to dump their trash somewhere else. Garbage collection has to be free. It's the only way it's going to work. If you're going to tax it, you need to tax it at the point of production, not the point of disposal. I'm all for a heavy tax on disposable single-use plastic packaging, for example. Encourage alternatives, don't encourage littering.
