I was talking to a fellow dog walker yesterday who had a visitor stay

guessing some states / cities / towns were god / bad over there too).
The USA has a far lower population density and a lot more places they can
just hide the problem in landfill.
We used to be a much tidier country before all these environmental
regulations put six different types of recycling bin on every corner.
& encouraged fly tipping by charging for dealing with certain
(some eminently & profitably recyclable) waste streams...
Ours are stupid enough to charge for all stuff left at the
dump except on the couple of free dump weekends a
year and are stupid enough to whine about the stuff
dumped in the scrub at the back of town etc.
