The importance of proper waste management
We produce lots of waste
In the past, people only needed to dig holes to dispose of their waste. Back then; these disposal methods were effective because there weren’t as many people as there are now. But as time goes by, humans produce more and more waste, so this is no longer a sustainable solution. Again, most of the waste produced now is non-biodegradable and inorganic. This is where proper waste management comes in.
It prevents pollution
If we just leave our waste outside it’ll start rotting and giving off harmful gases. These are not only harmful to people but to vegetation as well. This explains why the vegetation around landfills doesn’t do well. If not properly managed, this waste could contaminate water sources too, causing diseases such as cholera.
Garbage destroys landscapes
Waste management is helpful in conserving the environment. Poor garbage disposal methods are threatening the beauty of our planet, especially in tourist attraction areas such as beaches, hiking trails, and national parks.
Mismanaged waste is harmful to animals and their habitats
Once harmful chemicals are dumped in the environment, they contaminate it, and this drives away animals from their habitats. The contamination not only affects animals but plants too, and could cause them to contract illnesses and die due to pollution.
Birds and marine animals are not spared. They ingest waste materials like plastic, which can lead to suffocation or organ damage since their bodies are not able to break down plastic.
Recycling is cost-effective
Waste management and recycling companies collect your rubbish in their dumpsters and sort through and arrange it into recyclable columns. Some of the columns in which the waste is divided into include glass, oil, plastic, and paper. After sorting, the waste is made into new products. Manufacturing products through this process not only puts less pressure on natural resources but also makes the production process easier and more affordable.
During the sorting and recycling process, all non-biodegradable items are kept from causing harm to the environment as well as the living things that thrive in that environment.
Conclusion
With proper waste management, all these problems will be taken care of since the waste won’t be left exposed in the open, so it can’t cause harm to the environment and the living organisms. Waste management not only plays an important role in our health but that of the planet too. Ignoring and neglecting this process will lead to serious problems that harm our surroundings.
