waste disposal

Waste disposal involves collecting, treating, and getting rid of waste materials generated by households, industry, and other activities. The goal is to prevent environmental pollution and protect public health. Common methods include landfilling, where waste is buried safely; recycling, which reprocesses materials into new products; and incineration, where waste is burnt to reduce volume and sometimes recover energy. Proper disposal ensures waste doesn't harm ecosystems or water sources, minimizes health risks, and supports sustainable use of resources. Effective waste management combines these techniques appropriately to handle different types of waste responsibly.
