There is a official local recycling yard, there is a local scrap yard, there are unofficial scrap collectors roaming the streets every week - and still a tractor lead/acid battery ends up thrown into an illegal dump site in the bushes.
That is a ~25kg battery, it cracked having been thrown and the acid is all spilled out.
I was on foot with my pup, couldn't just take it along for proper disposal.

This illegal dump site gets set on fire a couple times a year as the trash accumulates.
Recently it got dozed over with dirt and stones.
