CHAPTER I

PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

Rationale

Solid waste management continues to be a major challenge in urban areas

throughout the world particularly in the rapidly growing cities of the developing world. A
high rate of population growth and increasing capital income have resulted in the
generation of an enormous volume of solid waste, which poses a serious threat to
environmental quality and human health. Being responsible in managing those solid
wastes is a great help to achieve a clean surroundings. As long as people have been living
in settlements and residential areas, garbage or solid waste has been an issue.

Solid waste refers to the range of garbage arising from animal and human
activities that are discarded as unwanted and useless. Solid waste is generated from
industrial, residential and commercial activities in a given area, and may be handled in a
variety of ways. As such, landfills are typically classified as sanitary, municipal and
industrial waste sites. Waste can be categorized based on material, such as plastic, paper,
glass, metal, and organic waste. Regardless of the origin, content or hazard potential,
solid waste must be managed systematically to ensure environmental best practices.
(https:///www.thebalancesmb.com/an-introduction-to-solid-waste-management) Waste
can also found in houses and even industrial sites. It should be put in a proper place.

 Solid waste management is all the activities and actions required to manage
waste from its inception to its final disposal. This includes amongst other things,
collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste together with monitoring and
regulation. It also encompasses the legal and regulatory framework that relates to waste
management encompassing guidance on recycling etc.The term normally relates to all
kinds of waste, whether generated during the the processing of raw materials into
intermediate and final products, the consumption of final products, or other human
activities, including municipal (residential, institutional, commercial), agricultural, and
social.(https://www.quora.com/Why-is-waste-management-important).Waste
management is intended to reduce adverse effects of waste on health, the environment or
aesthetics.

Solid-waste management is collecting, treating, and disposing of solid material

that is discarded because it has served its purpose or is no longer useful. Improper
disposal of municipal solid waste can create unsanitary conditions, and these conditions
in turn can lead to pollution of the environment and to outbreaks of vector-borne disease
—that is, diseases spread by rodents and insects. The tasks of solid-waste management
present complex technical challenges. They also pose a wide variety of administrative,
economic, and social problems that must be managed and solved.
(https://www.britannica.com/technology/solid-waste-management).Solid waste
management in other words it is a process of managing or segregating trashes to have a
clean environment.

The ways of an effective solid waste management includes reducing, reusing and
recycling of waste. Reduce,the most preferred approach is not to create waste to avoid
over consumption of goods and services, using eco-friendly products and saving energy.
It also includes source reduction by reducing the inputs that go in the production process,

2
production of durable goods, energy conservation and use of eco-friendly technology.
Reuse is another useful approach to reduce waste. This includes reusing packaging
systems which can help in reducing disposable waste. Reuse also includes using second
hand products. Recycling: In this process, the used products are recycled into raw
materials that can be used in the production of new products. This also avoids the
consumption of new raw materials.(https://www.indiacelebrating.com/speech/waste-
management-speech/amp/)The easier waste management method would be to bring down
the formation of waste materials. Recycling of the products provides raw materials that
are energy efficient, cost effective and less polluting.

The world has achieved significant success in providing other basic necessities
like food, drinking water, energy and economic opportunities. Managing solid wastes
properly can help improve the above services further. Composting organic waste can help
nurture crops and result in a better agricultural yield
(https://www.bioenergyconsult.com). Reducing landfilling and building sanitary landfills
will reduce ground and surface water pollution which can help provide cleaner drinking
water

Waste management, recycling and collection is a great way that can help
conserve our planet’s natural beauty which can be flawed by thoughtless disposal of
waste, fly-tipping and senseless littering. Landscapes can be ruined through littering and
places of tourist interest can lose their attraction; it is also blight for those who live in
areas where waste collection and recycling is not managed effectively and responsibly.
Natural beauty is a legacy and a right for future generations and conserving it, as well as
our natural resources, for their benefit is our responsibility today.
(www.linkedin.com/pulse/importance).Upon emerging solid waste management can have
a big impact into the society especially when it comes to a health of every individual.
Having proper waste disposal can make our environment clean and green.

 According to Sandeep Chatterjee, Professional Advisor of Solid waste
management, in the modern world burying all of our rubbish is not a sustainable solution.
While primitive humans produced very little waste, and that which was produced would
biodegrade quickly, modern humans produce much larger amounts of waste, much of
which is not biodegradable. Additionally, many types of waste may be damaging to the
soil, ground water and surrounding habitat. The most important reason for waste
collection is the protection of the environment and the health of the population. .Waste
can't be treated in a same way or same place. It have to be segregated. In addition,
recycling not only helps in conserving natural resources but also reduces the problems
particularly in health. Waste management is significant to the lives of people.

There are more cities become industrialized, the congenital problem of waste
management comes along with it. Technological and economic advancement has made
the types and kinds of Solid waste very diverse and their management much more
complex. The complex nature of disease outbreaks; cases of cholera as well as other
diarrheal diseases in recent times corroborate this fact. Furthermore, the changing
economic trends and rapid urbanization complicate solid waste management (SWM) in
developing countries. (http://ir.knust.edu.gh). In connection with this, disposing properly
and managing those waste is a great way to lessen the problem. Health and safety issues
arise from improper.

Waste that is not properly managed, especially excreta and other liquid and
solid waste from households and the community, are a serious health hazard and lead to
the spread of infectious diseases. Unattended waste lying around attracts flies, rats, and
other creatures that in turn spread disease. This leads to unhygienic conditions and
thereby to a rise in the health problems. Plastic waste is another cause for ill health. Thus
excessive solid waste that is generated should be controlled by taking certain preventive

4
measures. (https://edugreen.teri.res.in). In addition, having a poor waste management can
really affect the environment and even the health of every individual. It also causes
diseases.

Waste management can be done poorly, in a way that harms the environment,
or it can be taken care of in a manner that makes the Earth cleaner and healthier. When
your waste removal company uses eco-friendly waste disposal services, you're doing our
beautiful planet a big favor. When done properly, waste management and recycling can
eliminate waste and minimize the intensity of greenhouse gases Managing Wastes is a
great help to preserve Mother Nature from destruction.

Review of Related Literature

The growth of the world’s population, increasing urbanization, rising standards of

living, and rapid developments in technology have all contributed to an increase in both
the amount and the variety of solid wastes generated by industrial, domestic and other
activities. Improper disposal of solid waste has become increasingly common place.
People create a lot of trash every day. Solid waste management refers to the supervised
handling of waste material from generation at the source through the recovery processes
to disposal. Being responsible in managing those solid wastes is a great help to achieve a
clean surroundings.

Solid waste refers to the range of garbage arising from animal and human
activities that are discarded as unwanted and useless. Solid waste is generated from
industrial, residential and commercial activities in a given area, and may be handled in a
variety of ways. As such, landfills are typically classified as sanitary, municipal,
construction and demolition or industrial waste sites. Waste can be categorized based on
material, such as plastic, paper, glass, metal, and organic waste. Categories may also
pertain to the origin of waste, such as industrial, domestic, commercial, institutional or
construction and demolition. Regardless of the origin, content or hazard potential, solid
waste must be managed systematically to ensure environmental best practices. As solid
waste management is a critical aspect of environmental hygiene, it needs to be
incorporated into environmental planning. (https:///www.thebalancesmb.com/an-
introduction-to-solid-waste-management) In addition, waste can also found in houses and
even industrial sites. It should be put in a proper place. Categorization may also be based
on hazard potential, including radioactive, flammable, infectious, toxic, or non-toxic.

11
 Managing Solid Waste is used to refer to the process of collecting and treating
solid wastes. It also offers solutions for recycling items that do not belong to garbage or
trash. As long as people have been living in settlements and residential areas, garbage or
solid waste has been an issue. Waste management is all about how solid waste can be
changed and used as a valuable resource. Solid waste management should be embraced
by each and every household including the different Barangay nation-wide and also those
business sectors. In connection with this, industrialization has brought a lot of good
things and bad things as well. One of the negative effects of industrialization is the
creation of solid waste. Solid waste is important in all aspect be it in health and
environment.

Solid-waste management is collecting, treating, and disposing of solid material

that is discarded because it has served its purpose or is no longer useful. Improper
disposal of municipal solid waste can create unsanitary conditions, and these conditions
in turn can lead to pollution of the environment and to outbreaks of vector-borne disease

activities, including municipal (residential, institutional, commercial), agricultural, and
social (health care, household hazardous wastes, sewage sludge).
(https://www.quora.com/Why-is-waste-management-important). Waste management is
intended to reduce adverse effects of waste on health, the environment or aesthetics. It
lessen the case of having diseases.

Here are some tips to have an effective solid waste management and reduce
overall waste and help the environment.
•Recycle Waste
Depending on waste removal company, you may be able to separate recyclable waste
from other waste and save money because of it. Glass, aluminum, tin, and paper are all
items that can be easily recycled. Certain types of plastic can also be recycled depending
on the programs available in your community.

13
•Make a Compost Heap
Compost pile can provide you with fertile soil for a garden, which you can use to grow
food and further reduce your dependence on grocery stores while saving money. Then
you won’t have to worry about yard waste removal.
•Use a Roll-Off Container
If you have a large amount of garbage from a remodel or for some other reason, you may
want to consider getting a roll-off container from solid waste management. Once you get
rid of the large junk, you can work on the other skills that are necessary for reducing,
reusing, and recycling to help lower your impact on the your wallet, your neighborhood
and the planet. (https://www.fairwasteservices.com/hproxy.php/5-Tips-for-an-Effective-
Solid-Waste-Management-Plan.html). It can provide y with all the space that you need
and may be easier and cheaper than relying on your regular waste disposal methods.

Landfill is one of the most popular and favored approaches. In the process of
landfill the process buries the waste in the land, but still there is a lot more to it. In
relation to right landfill management, it is important to deal with the entire waste first and
send only the waste that is not possible to compost and recycle. Composting is waste
management process turns waste into organic compounds that you can use to feed plants.
In terms of the environment advantages this is actually beneficial technique. Recycling is
by understanding what you can recycle and how you can recover valuable resources, you
can be a very best part of helping the country to attain a positive environmental future.
There are plenty of important things that you should know about waste management and
disposal in in order to ensure that you are safe, as well as that you are keeping the
environment safe. It can give a positive impact to the environment. It can help the
community safe as well.

14
 The ways of an effective solid waste management includes reducing, reusing and
recycling of waste. Reduce: The most preferred approach is not to create waste i.e. to
avoid over consumption of goods and services, using eco-friendly products and saving
energy. It also includes source reduction by reducing the inputs that go in the production
process, production of durable goods, energy conservation and use of eco-friendly
technology, hybrid transport, etc. Reuse is another useful approach to reduce waste. This
includes reusing packaging systems which can help in reducing disposable waste. Reuse
also includes using second hand products. Recycling: In this process, the used products
are recycled into raw materials that can be used in the production of new products.
Recycling of the products provides raw materials that are energy efficient, cost effective
and less polluting. This also avoids the consumption of new raw materials.
(https://www.indiacelebrating.com/speech/waste-management-speech/amp/). The easier
waste management method would be to bring down the formation of waste materials.
This way it can control the quantity of waste thrown in the landfills. The most favorable
in the waste hierarchy is to reduce i.e. to avoid the consumption and source reduction
followed by reuse and recycle. product.

Then composting is yet again a hassle-free and natural bio-degradation based

process which makes use of organic waste, i.e. kitchen waste and remains of garden or
plants and transforms it into nutrient-rich food for your plants. It is one of the excellent
methods of waste disposal where it can transform unsafe organic items into safe compost.
Composting is one of the best way to change the surroundings from dirty to clean.

Mankind has made all the necessary inventions which were required to make our
lives easier. The lives which we lead now, could not have been made any more simpler.
Everything is available to us at our fingertips. There are various categories into which
waste can be classified. Solid waste is the unwanted or useless solid materials generated
from combined residential, industrial and commercial activities in a given area. It may be
categorised according to its origin (domestic, industrial, commercial, construction or

15
institutional); according to its contents (organic material, glass, metal, plastic paper etc);
or according to hazard potential (toxic, non-toxic, flammable, radioactive, infectious etc.
(https://theconstructor.org.com). Solid waste can be destructive to community if it is not
thrown properly. It can ruin the surroundings.

Waste disposal has emerged into an industry and is more than just removing
waste. The organic waste is segregated from non-recyclable and inorganic waste. This
has allowed cities to make use of organic waste to create compost for public areas. There
are even some cities that package and sell the compost to make money. These items can
be reprocessed and recycled and will be used in producing new products. This method
has helped reduce further consumption of natural resources and at the same time lowers
the ultimate needs for waste disposal. (www.linkedin.com/pulse/environmental-benefits-
waste-management-leon-hayes). This method is very useful in order to have a clean and
safe place for people.

Proper disposal of waste or waste management relocates waste to areas where

they can be left, incinerated or disposed of in a safe manner. Removing waste from public
areas helps reduce risks to overall health, decreases exposure to biohazards and reduces
infestation of pest. The generation of waste and the collection, processing, transport and
disposal of waste—the process of ‘waste management’—is important for both the health
of the public and aesthetic and environmental reasons. In addition, having a proper
disposal of waste can have a positive imoact to the environment. It also removes waste
from public areas.

16
 Using proper waste management and waste disposal strategies can also help
governmental organizations. Oftentimes, these organizations spend significant amounts
of resources on incineration systems, which simply use up energy without significant
gain. Now, technologies have been crafted that help to capture the energy used by these
industrial incinerators, allowing cities to generate electricity through the incineration
process. It’s a commitment to effective waste disposal that is helping power properties
and preserve costs. Proper waste disposal can help preserve our natural environment, and
ensure a healthy ecosystem for the long-term future (https://junkit.ca/blog/the-
importance-of-proper-waste-disposal/).In connection with this, it is effective when people
use the strategies in waste management. The environment and people can benefit this
one.

When you dump waste in landfills, it will start emitting gases when it begins to
rot. You would be familiar with a foul smell that is usually found near landfills. These
gases pollute the environment and attract insects, flies and bugs. When you recycle the
waste instead of sending it to the landfills, you are directly reducing the pollution that
occurs as a result of landfill. Further, recycling various products leads to less carbon
emissions, reducing the carbon footprint that product.
(www.norcalcompactors.net/positive-effect-recycling-environmental-economic-front/).
Using the method of recycling leads to less pollution of water,land and even in the air.

The most important reason for waste collection is the protection of the
environment and the health of the population. Rubbish and waste can cause air and water
pollution. Rotting garbage is also known to produce harmful gases that mix with the air
and can cause breathing problems in people items which can be recycled are re-processed
and used to create new products. This method reduces the consumption of natural
resources and lowers the ultimate waste disposal needs. That is waste disposal which

17
helps us to keep the environment clean and that’s why it is important to always dispose
your waste properly.

The most important reason for proper waste management is to protect the
environment and for the health and safety of the population. The purpose of the Solid
Waste Management Program is to ensure solid waste is managed in such a way that
protects both public health and the environment. The health of people is safe when using
the solid waste management. It also protect Mother Earth.

When recycling the waste instead of throwing it in the garbage, it helps

community and Mother Earth. Skip the Landfill – Most people don’t want to create more
landfills. By recycling, you send less material to the landfill which means it won’t fill up
as fast. That same landfill will remain useful for years longer. This is important in urban
centers where landfill space is scarce but just as important across the country.Use the
Resources Wisely – Recycling prevents the depletion of earth’s resources. Paper made
with no recycled content uses wood pulp by cutting trees. Recycled paper means fewer
trees are cut down. Recycled aluminum means less need for aluminum mining. Materials
such as glass bottles and steel cans can be recycled many times over. Simply put,
recycling makes sense. People can see that recycling impacts you locally and impacts
some of our major global challenges. (http://www.emterrausa.com/recycling-benefits).
These ways can lead to a better and safe community for peope living in different places.
Simple way to create a healthy life.

The benefits of proper garbage disposal are keeps the environment clean and fresh.
Perhaps, the greatest advantage of waste management is keeping the environment fresh
and neat. These waste disposal units also make the people go disease free as all the
resultant wastes are properly disposed and taken care of. Saves the earth and conserves
energy. This characteristic of waste management includes specifically the recycling
aspect. As recycling of waste helps in reducing the cutting down of trees. By using this

18
method, we can use the recycled waste to make quality papers rather than relying on
trees. Also, recycling needs only a minimal amount of energy for utilization and complete
processing. The resultant product we obtain is a renewable source of energy and is eco-
friendly. Reduces environmental pollution. The depth of the existing landfills and
incinerations will be curbed, thereby cutting down the harmful factors that affect the
environment. (https://content.wisestep.com/advantages-disadvantages-waste-
management/).Also, the amount of fossil fuels will get reduced in this manner, leading to
a cleaner and a greener environment.

According to Sandeep Chatterjee, Professional Advisor of Solid Waste

Management, in the modern world burying all of our rubbish is not a sustainable solution.
While primitive humans produced very little waste, and that which was produced would
biodegrade quickly, modern humans produce much larger amounts of waste, much of
which is not biodegradable. Additionally, many types of waste may be damaging to the
soil, ground water and surrounding habitat. The most important reason for waste
collection is the protection of the environment and the health of the population. Waste
collection companies also sort the garbage into recyclable columns, as recycling the
products that leave our homes is of utmost importance. Recycling not only helps in
conserving our natural resources but also reduces the cost of production of many
products. Collection of waste, am waste can't be treated in a same way or same place. It
have to be segregated. In addition, this is the main and most important step of waste
management. Without proper segregation, no waste management plan can actually work.
Once the waste are segregated, different type of waste are taken to different unit for
disposal or recycling.

The world has achieved significant success in providing other basic necessities
like food, drinking water, energy and economic opportunities. Managing solid wastes

19
properly can help improve the above services further. Composting organic waste can help
nurture crops and result in a better agricultural yield. Reducing landfilling and building
sanitary landfills will reduce ground and surface water pollution which can help provide
cleaner drinking water (https://www.bioenergyconsult.com). It leads to a clean place and
safe area. It reduces the water pollution

Waste management, recycling and collection is a great way that can help
conserve our planet’s natural beauty which can be flawed by thoughtless disposal of
waste, fly-tipping and senseless littering. Landscapes can be ruined through littering and
places of tourist interest can lose their attraction; it is also blight for those who live in
areas where waste collection and recycling is not managed effectively and responsibly.
Natural beauty is a legacy and a right for future generations and conserving it, as well as
our natural resources, for their benefit is our responsibility today.

When you segregate waste into two basic streams like organic (degradable)
and inorganic (non-biodegradable), the waste generated is better understood and
consequently recycled and reused with higher potential for recovery. Waste pickers
typically use inorganic waste and segregate waste further into paper, metal, plastic and
then sell them to earn a livelihood. These waste streams get collated through the informal
‘eco-system’ of waste bankers and waste traders who become ‘material suppliers’ to the
formal manufacturing sector. As a result, you see products being made out of recycled
plastic, metals getting reused for product-making and waste paper getting mashed into
pulp to make recycled paper.(https://prasadmodakblog.wordpress.com/2014/08/23/make-

20
waste-segregation-a-habit-and-not-an-obligation/). Sometimes what people need is came
from a recycled materials.

Some countries have achieved considerable success in solid waste management.

But the rest of the world is grappling to deal with its wastes. In these places, improper
management of solid waste continues to impact public health of entire communities and
cities; pollute local water, air and land resources; contribute to climate change and ocean
plastic pollution; hinder climate change adaptation; and accelerate depletion of forests
and mines. Compared to solid waste management, we can consider that the world has
achieved significant success in providing other basic necessities like food, drinking
water, energy and economic opportunities. Managing solid wastes properly can help
improve the above services further. Composting organic waste can help nurture crops and
result in a better agricultural yield. Reducing landfilling and building sanitary landfills
will reduce ground and surface water pollution which can help provide cleaner drinking
water (https://www.bioenergyconsult.com). Comporting and reducing landfilling can lead
to a better place where people are safe from sickness.

There are more cities become industrialized, the congenital problem of waste
management comes along with it. Technological and economic advancement has made
the types and kinds of Solid Waste very diverse and their management much more
complex. The complex nature of disease outbreaks; cases of cholera as well as other
diarrheal diseases in recent times corroborate this fact. Furthermore, the changing
economic trends and rapid urbanization complicate solid waste management (SWM) in
developing countries. Consequently, solid waste is not only increasing in composition but
also changing in quantity from a few kilograms to tonnage proportions recently.
(http://ir.knust.edu.gh). In connection, disposing properly and managing those waste is a

21
great way to lessen the problem.

Waste that is not properly managed, especially excreta and other liquid and
solid waste from households and the community, are a serious health hazard and lead to
the spread of infectious diseases. Unattended waste lying around attracts flies, rats, and
other creatures that in turn spread disease. Normally it is the wet waste that decomposes
and releases a bad odor. This leads to unhygienic conditions and thereby to a rise in the
health problems. The plague outbreak in Seurat is a good example of a city suffering due
to the callous attitude of the local body in maintaining cleanliness in the city.
(https://www.edugreen.teri.res.in) Plastic waste is another cause for ill health. Thus
excessive solid waste that is generated should be controlled by taking certain preventive
measures.

Improper disposal and management causes all types of pollution: air, soil, and
water. Indiscriminate dumping of wastes contaminates surface and ground water supplies.
In urban areas, clogs drains, creating stagnant water for insect breeding and floods during
rainy seasons. Uncontrolled burning of and improper incineration contributes
significantly to urban air pollution. Health and safety issues also arise from improper .
Insect and rodent vectors are attracted to the waste and can spread diseases such as
cholera and dengue fever. Using water polluted by for bathing, food irrigation and
drinking water can also expose individuals to disease organisms and other contaminants.
(https://www.researchgate.net). Exhaust fumes from waste collection vehicles, dust
stemming from disposal practices and the open burning of waste also contribute to
overall health problems .People know that poor sanitation affects their health.

22
 Soil, water and air pollution can all be a result of improper waste disposal and
occurs when either of them becomes contaminated with hazardous materials. Apart from
this improper waste disposal can also have adverse health effects on humans as over the
years it has been responsible for causing several diseases and in some cases even
death.For instance when water is contaminated with foreign substances, like harmful
pathogens, toxic chemicals or medical waste its chemical composition changes making it
harmful to use. . (https://www.junk-king.com/locations/marin/2017/08/09/improper-
waste-disposal-has-dangerous-effects/) Diseases like Cholera, Dysentery and
leptospirosis are known to be spread through contaminated water and can cause serious
health epidemics in a population. Another example of the dangerous effects of improper
waste disposal is soil contamination.

Uncollected solid waste blocks drains, and causes flooding and subsequent
spread of water- borne diseases. Solid waste that is not properly disposed of, especially
excreta and other refuse from households and the community, are a serious health hazard
and which can lead to the spread of infectious diseases. Unattended waste lying around
attracts flies, rats, and other creatures that in turn spread disease. This leads to unhygienic
conditions and thereby leading to a rise in the health problems. Other high-risk group
includes population living close to a waste dump and those whose water supply gets
contaminated. Uncollected solid waste also increases risk of injury and infection.
(https://www.omicsonline.org/open-access/solid-waste-disposal-and-community-health-
implications-in-ghanaevidence-from-sawaba-asokore-mampong-municipal-assembly-
2165-784X-1000202.php?aid=67082) Solid waste from public areas can cause flooding
and lpcan leads to harmful effects to people.

23
 According to the Theory of waste production and recycling management, the
management of solid waste has become an urgent problem. Product responsibility means
that a product will accompany its producer from cradle to grave; prevention, recycling
and disposal of waste are part of a theory of the firm which we develop under solid
residual management. We assume that the government stimulates firms to enhance
recycling of resources by a fee on waste. A comparative statics analysis shows the impact
of a fee on waste reduction, on the structure of the production process, on recycling, on
input demand, material saving effort, number of firms, and on the amount of waste
disposal.

Solid waste management is not just a corporate social responsibility or a non-

priority service anymore. Improper waste management is a public health and
environmental crisis, economic loss, operational inefficiency and political and public
awareness failure. Integrated solid waste management can be a nation building exercise
for healthier and wealthier communities. Therefore, it needs global attention to arrive at
solutions which span across such a wide range of issues (www.cleantechloops.com).
Having a solid waste management doesn’t only help a country or a particular Barangay to
maintain clean surroundings, but it can also build a relationship to all the citizen in a
particular place.

The Theory of Waste Management is a unified body of knowledge about waste

and waste management, and it is founded on the expectation that waste management is to
prevent waste to cause harm to human health and the environment and promote resource
use optimization. Waste Management Theory is to be constructed under the paradigm of
Industrial Ecology as Industrial Ecology is equally adaptable to incorporate waste
minimization and/or resource use optimization goals and values.

24
 Waste management can be done poorly, in a way that harms the environment, or
it can be taken care of in a manner that makes the Earth cleaner and healthier. When your
waste removal company uses eco-friendly waste disposal services, you're doing our
beautiful planet a big favor. When done properly, waste management and recycling can
eliminate waste and minimize the intensity of greenhouse gases Managing Wastes is a
great help to preserve Mother Nature from destruction.
