As you might already imagine reality is way ahead of you - for example
someone has recently been dumping a whole bunch of garbage exactly like
this in eastern Congo:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/614459980
From a purely technical point of view if it wasn't littering OSM this
would just be droll.
