Residue

means any product in solid,

liquid or gas from a process of
extraction, processing or use,
that no value for its owner, the
owner decides to abandon.

Wastes can be classified in many ways, on
this occasion classify them according
to their origin in:
Industrial.
Farm.
Health.
Municipal Solid Waste.
Solid waste (MSW) are defined as those
incurred in private homes, shops, offices and
services as well as all those who are not
classified as hazardous and which by
its nature or composition can be likened to those
produced in previous places or activities, such as:
Waste from street cleaning, parks,
playgrounds and beaches.
Pets dead as well as furniture, appliances and
abandoned vehicles.
Waste and debris from construction works and mi
nor home repair.
Municipal solid waste is composed of the
following materials:
Glass.
Paper and cardboard.
organic remains.
Plastics.
Textiles.
Metals.
Wood.
Debris.
The percentage of waste production is dependent
on theindustrialization and development of
each country. The
followingchart shows the figures of our country:

To all this we must add the fraction of
waste produced in households, but its toxicity are
considered hazardous waste and
are treated separately:
mineral oils.
Vehicle batteries.
Waste from electronic equipment.
Household appliances.
Drugs.
Batteries.
Chemicals in the form of paints, glues, solvents,
waxes, etc.
Thermometers.
Fluorescent lamps and light bulbs.
The increase in waste generation has caused a
great impact on the environment causing various
problems such as:
Contamination of soils.
Contamination of groundwater by leachate.
Pollution of surface waters.
Emission of greenhouse gases resulting
from the uncontrolled burning
of materials dumped there.
Occupation of territory generating uncontrolled de
struction of thelandscape and natural areas.
Creation of an infectious focus. Proliferation
of rodents and insectpests.
Production of odors.
To combat this you
must implement the use of the three R's:reduce, reu
se and recycling.
The reduction relates to the reduction of waste
generation.
The reuse is based on finding a second life for
an object that is waste.
Recycling is
based on a residual return to their initial
matter back to make something with it.

This shows why the generation of waste in cities is so
high, and although there is a classification for these do
not have the culture to reach control the problem. This
information also gives us some options
for its decline and use, avoiding greater environmental
impact on the planet.

Thanks you for your attention
