importance of proper waste management?
154094
Proper waste management covers all aspects of the disposal or re-cycling of materials that humans consider useless.\nHuman waste is only one aspect.  Industrial, automotive, hazardous, medical, chemical and even radioactive waste must all be considered.  This is especially important in urban areas when the concentration of people is the largest.\nThis is necessary to protect public health and the environment.  It also keeps us from burying ourselves in our own waste.

Cleaning out the recycle bin permanently deletes files that you no longer use. While in the bin, they can be retrieved, but once   the bin is emptied, they are gone.\n\nWhat good does it do? It opens up space on your hard drive, eliminating the computer's need to "carry" the files. If you have a lot in it, your computer will actually run faster and more efficiently. \n.

I do recycle personally; even though some places make it an absolute pain to do so.\n\nOne place I lived, they had a "recycling" place.  However, in order to use it, you had to go when it was open, which was only one Saturday a month for two hours.  Then you had to take all the recycling you had piled up during that time and seperate it yourself.\n\nIt was sometimes too much to handle, especially because I used to have to travel some weekends, so sometimes I would have to make two or three trips to deliver all my two or three months worth of recylycing... which even if you wash it out at home before storing it... didn't exactly smell nice.\n\nWhere I am now they actually take it all curbside once a week (the same day as trash)... which is SO nice.  Another place I lived you had to take your own garbage to the town "dump"  If you didn't recycle (or volunteer at the recycling station at least once a year) you were given quite a hard time.  It was a small New England town, so they really did care and worked hard to recycle.\n\nTowns and cities need to make it easier, and people will just catch on.  Then they won't remember what it was like not to.  Change takes time... but you have to make it a little easier for people.

the best way is to find out when there is wast pick op, or in my area the fire stations once a week will have a truck that all u have to do is drop off you waste and they will dispose of it properly,  burning it will cause harmful toxins in the air and could even be fatal if inhaled.

That depends on if you want something globally or locally ? I would think what you do locally will effect the global community. Your local recyclers will most likely have idea's for you and ways to recycle, use less electricity, water, fuel and so on....these issues are usually as close as your own door.or light switch...or water usage and so on.

Maybe not quite the answer you want....... but you should consider going to Thailand (opposed to Miami) as they have more trash than they know what to do with, or can manage.\n\nMiami on the other hand is very pristine!

For individual people, solid waste refers to #2.  Not only do we go regularly, we make sure we stay clean in this area.  It is good to even use a damp tissue with some soap to do this.\n\nIn the wider world, the term refers to taking care of garbage and junk that cannot be recycled.

I recycle and I live in a city where 90% of the people do. We have a really good recycling collection service. The counsel gives us two bins, one for trash and one for recycling. The recyclable materials are seperated by hand at the recycling depot. Each material is sent off to their respective recycling plant.

We all need to be conscience of recycling at home:cans, bottles, plastics, newspapers, etc. Some people do not make an effort. Also, we should by products made of recycled materials. If we throw everything away, eventually there won't be any room to put all of that trash. \n\nIn the public matter, hazardous waste needs to be closely monitored and properly disposed of. Our environment can't handle much more careless waste management. Hope this helps!

Incineration reduces the waste to ashes which require much less space for disposal whereas landfills take up 100's of acres and are considered dangerous to the groundwater.\n\ndownside to incineration: the polution you avoid puttin on the ground in a landfill is now in the air we breath....
