How else to you get rid of rubbish other than landfill sites?
Rubbish, often referred to as trash, can be disposed of in different ways. One way is a sanitary landfill. In a sanitary landfill, trash is transported to a dump site where large trucks compact the trash and cover it with a layer of dirt or soil. There are leachate pipes and a liner which prevent hazardous chemicals from contaminating the trash. Also, these pipes prevent groundwater contamination. Incineration is another method used to dispose of trash. Big machines burn the waste. Though this reduces the amount of waste piling up, it can release hazardous chemicals in the air such as methane and sulfur dioxide which can contribute to acid rain and cause hazardous health conditions. Depending on the type of waste, a lot of it can be recycled. Plastics, metals, and paper products can all be recycled and be re-used. Another eco-friendly way to re-use rubbish is a compost pile. Un-processed food products, as well as coffee grounds and other degradable things can be put in a compost pile outside in a yard. Making sure the compost receives the right amount of light, one should mix the compost. Eventually, the things in the pile will decompose and dirt will be made which is very good for plants.
