Garbage Disposal The Ecofriendly Way

In some cities, residential garbage, is typically collected from homes twice weekly to be disposed. However, the functional element of garbage disposal, not only relates to the gathering of solid waste and recyclable materials, but also the transport of these materials, after collection, to a specified location, where it is then discarded.

Homeowners must comply with regulations from the city and state, that require garbage to be sorted, bagged and placed in specified locations, on the outside of residences. Essentially, this is done, to encourage recycling and safe disposal of garbage, as well as to avoid, contamination, pollution or any major health issues, especially when dangerous and hazardous waste is involved.

Environmentally Friendly Garbage Disposal A Must !garbage disposal

Due to the varying products, components and hazardous materials, that exist within the composition of garbage, a specific and detailed system is carefully followed, to properly discard of garbage. This system along with regulations, ensures health and safety, for the general public and aids with protecting the environment and keeping it clean.

Nevertheless, they are some persons who refuse to adhere to  waste regulations, and carry out their garbage disposal in an, ill-advised and improper manner. This can lead to certain complications such as, health issues, water contamination and pollution. If caught, persons could actually face stiff penalties or heavy fines from the government or even possible jail time.

Therefore, in order to play our part in keeping the environment clean and ensuring the health and safety of others, persons are urged to dispose of garbage properly, by taking it to dumpsters marked for trash or by recycling products that can be reused.

A positive human impact on the environment occurs, when a person takes action to improve society, nature and its resources. If these positive actions, are consistently promoted and executed, even to the tiniest degree, they contribute to a tremendous change in the environment.

The Hazards Of Electronic Waste

In the United States, California is the state at the forefront of developing electronic recycling strategies.  The state has put in place regulations to constrain toxic and dangerous electronic waste from entering landfills.  By doing this, electronic recycling consciousness has become a part of public awareness.  In an attempt to decrease the pressure on the environment, you would be held accountable for how you dispose of your waste as outlined by state law.

Electronic waste is defined as any piece of electronic tool that has reached its useful lifespan. Moreover, some of these items can be disassembled, restored and resold again. On the other hand, other items with no “useful” function are put aside to be thrown away. In 2008, in the United States, there was 4.6 billion pounds of e-waste.  However, only 19% or 900 million pounds of that waste was recycled.

Recently, the exportation of e-waste won a sizable amount of attention from governments and media from around the world.  This is because they understand the negative impact that can be sustained due to improper electronic waste disposal.  Additionally, countries are starting to outlaw the importation of e-waste.  This would in turn create a demand for more domestic recycling.

As we continue to rely on electronics to make our lives more simpler, a large stockpile of aged and outdated products will eventually occupying our landfills.  Computer monitors and ancient TV picture tubes are constructed with about four pounds of lead.  These items require distinctive handling at the end of their proposed use.  Other than lead, electronics can also contain dangerous levels of chromium, cadmium, mercury, beryllium, nickel, zinc and flame retardants.

Due to new state and federal regulation and by addition public consciousness, there is an increasing demand for recycling plants that are competent in the e-waste recycling process.  At present, in the United states, the amount of electronic waste being accumulated surpasses the amount of potential recyclers. Consequently, this gap is increasing even quicker, which is why it is so important to impose regulations aimed at limiting the exportation of these materials.  This is until more advanced strategies and technologies are being utilized to make electronic recycling more sustainable.
