You've never had to repeatedly clean trash slurry off of a concrete slab because junkies are terrible people who have no manners. If people could be trusted to not redistribute the trash across the land I wouldn't mind so much

If capitalism could be trusted not to put valuable items in the trash, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Ah, so getting things out of the trash could be legal, but making a mess from a dumpster should have consequences

Enforcing that would take a lot more money than a padlock.

A better idea would be to charge businesses for the downstream costs of externalities like waste. Make them self-enforce by making it more expensive to dump recyclable or reusable materials.
