Landfill Diversion Strategies

Landfill diversion strategies are methods used to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills by recycling, reusing, or composting materials. These approaches include sorting waste to recover recyclable items like paper, plastic, and metal, as well as composting organic waste like food scraps and yard clippings. The goal is to minimize environmental impact, conserve natural resources, and extend the lifespan of landfills. Implementing these strategies involves public education, infrastructure for recycling and composting, and policies encouraging waste reduction, ultimately fostering a more sustainable approach to managing waste.
