Vacant lots on Nantucket (if you can find one) go for about $500k -- $1M an acre, and there are no ravines. Place is small enough and everyone knows everyone else's business and there are enough busybodies, so not much illegal dumping going on. It used to be fun going to the dump, never knew what you might find, now it is a Sanitary Landfill and Resource Recovery Facility and run like a Whole Foods (with prices to match on commercial waste), with greeters like at Walmart. They do still have the Takeitorleaveit, but it is in a nice little architecturally-correct building instead of a corner of the lot where you just left stuff, and the Jamaicans hover over it like the seagulls used to.

It does a great job though.

Only problem is then people start dumping their trash in vacant lots,
ravines, etc. late at night.

Nantucket does that.

Or maybe municipalities should simply refuse to take
anything to the dump that can be reused/repurposed or converted into a
useful product such as compost.
