The importance of proper waste disposal

Through proper waste management, we can reduce pollution in the

environment as well as ensure the safety and well-being of human beings
and all other living beings. There will also be a reduction in the generation
of waste as people resort to recycling and reusing.Proper waste
removal helps improve air and water quality as well as reduces
greenhouse gas emissions. It helps in minimising the extraction of
resources along with reducing pollution and energy consumption which
is associated with manufacturing new materials.

There are a few reasons. First, to keep our world from being one big
trash can. Two, to prevent toxins from seeping into our soil and
groundwater supplies. Three, since there is so very much trash, to
separate out anything reusable or recyclable. or even compostable.
Finally, to avoid methane emissions that landfills produce. There are
more.

Our world could be so much better if manufacturers were responsible for

the end of their’s products’ lives and if people could become more
responsible consumers and trash makers. .

Waste management is important as it saves the environment

from the toxic effects of inorganic and biodegradable element present in
waste. Mismanagement of waste can cause water contamination, soil
erosion and air contamination.

Waste can be recycled if collected and managed efficiently. Waste

materials such as plastic, glass and paper can be segregated into different
columns in order to process them to make new products which will save
the natural resources. Moreover, when this waste is not recycled, it usually
ends up in landfills or oceans posing threat to human health and marine
life. In most areas of the world, sewage treatment is not done properly,
leading to eutrophication and beach closures. According to World
Wildlife Fund (WWF) an estimate of 8 million ton plastic ends up in oceans
each year.
