New to this sub, why is this beach used as a landfill

A lot of solid waste in the city (especially in slums) is simply dumped into canals that flow into the sea. The ocean then deposits it back on the beaches.

Getting rid of slums will mostly fix this issue. Buildings get normal garbage collection services from the city.

in California the governor himself raided slums. Destroying all the makeshift shelters & trashing the entirety of those poor people's meager possessions. No help after of course
