Illegal waste dump has become a huge issue for many countries around the world.
This is especially the case in eastern European nations like Romania and Bulgaria.
Trash that should've been recycled or treated properly - is often dumped or burned in open fields - creating a health and environmental risk.
Criminal gangs have long taken advantage of this problem and facilitated the dumping of even more illegal waste.
Much of that trash comes from rich western European nations.
And it's killing natural habitats by polluting the water and air around them.
What can be done to enhance proper recycling?
