Auto-translated to English by AIThe waste dumping is getting worse, with small rubbish also lying everywhere on the street and in the woods. I also live near a large car park where all sorts of things are dumped as if a market has taken place. Also at the containers on our doorstep, every day large waste as if people can't read. Especially around the flats it's a disaster.
