The Bureau of Land Management, Sierra Front Field Office recently contracted with a company to clean a large (approximately two acre) illegal dump site located east of Silver Springs, Nevada. This site, which had the appearance of a small landfill became a popular spot for illegal dumping of trash. Full remediation and restoration of the site required a contractor with heavy equipment to remove larger trash items and mitigate potential hazardous materials on site. The cost of cleaning this dumpsite was approximately $66,000.
"Every year the BLM Carson City District Office receives hundreds of complaints from concerned public reporting trash sites on public lands," said Logan Briscoe, Supervisory Law Enforcement Officer. “When individuals cannot be held responsible for their illegal acts, the expense of cleaning up a site such as this one is often funded through the use of tax payer’s money. The BLM truly appreciates the dedication and devotion of community groups and individual volunteers who spend countless hours of their free time cleaning up public lands so others can experience use of their public lands free from unsightly trash."
Photographs from a five minute radius of my apartment. Glasgow is the only British city I have ever lived in where residents are encouraged to dump *any* outsized domestic waste on the kerbside for colleciton on designated days. Everything gets crushed by a rubbish truck and sent to landfill.
The open desert areas in the Antelope Valley can be pretty sickening when you slow down and take the time to take a closer look at all the dumping that goes on.
The river trail passes through an old dump from the 1940s. There old cars slowly disintegrate under the forest canopy in a strange dreamlike time warp. This old De Soto still had some chrome left.
The dumping ground at Diva is said to recieve an approximate of 2000-3000 tonnes of waste. Like the other landfills, this one is also not scientifically maintained. There are small houses seen on the background. It is believed that they are building around the periphery of the landfill. Residents complain of foul odour and strange taste in their water.

Dump truck party at Kellogg Beach for Owens 3rd Birthday. Chocolate construction site cake with coordinating cupcakes.
We scored another 1/2 ton of paper this morning and 30 gallons of
waste veggie oil in the afternoon. The God of trash is looking out for
us. While emptying the paper into a large stock tank (our storage
medium). I ended up making a little slide from the back of our truck
into the stock tank. We have a lot of bizarre photos of us laying on
mountains of paper.
Due to lack of options, a large amount of waste has been left in a school playground. Originally intended as a staging post to sort waste out for appropriate disposal, the system appears to have broken down, with a dump now as high as the school towering up and threatening to collapse. UN Environment and its partners are working with the government to restart the waste management system, deal with the accumulated waste and contribute to Dominica's recovery.

Medical waste from this clinic is dumped
in the river near Gallamary bridge site at
Khulna. Unnecessary infrastructure like iron pipes in the middle of the river channel cause siltation and blockage in the natural river flow.
I wondered over to a huge construction site going on across from my work. I was out looking for some good composite backgrounds and found this dump truck sitting there...of course I thought HDR.
