Here in Texas, I see a fourth type. In Austin, it is expensive to get stuff hauled off because of the dump fees, etc. So, unscrupulous trash haulers will charge the premium fees... but then wait until nightfall, drive down a country road, drop the tailgate on their pickup, kick everything out, and zoom off.
This type of abuse (combined with funding issues) is why Texas pulled out every single rest stop in the entire state.
Yup, that is why I advocate just making it free/cheap to get rid of stuff. All a person should need to do is get it to the nearest drop off point. If nothing else, at least the trash will be a little more contained.
