Harmful chemicals and other materials that are dumped can contaminate our water. Litter and trash dumping are also public safety problems. Dumping in drainage ditches ca cause flooding, because if the ditches are full of garbage or other material, water cannot flow properly. Illegal dumping is ugly. When one person dumps litter or trash, others follow.
Garbage builds up until someone cleans it up, often at a cost passed down to citizens.
Talk to local government officials about creating options if there are none. Reduce the amount of garbage produced by buying brands with less packaging. Buy products in bulk quantities or buy refills. When there is less packaging, there is less garbage. Instead of disposable products, buy things that can be washed and reused.
