Litter or trash that can not be recycled by biodegradation can be disposed of in a few ways.

Simple trash is often "garbage" and goes to landfill sites.

Some materials will burn but do not biodegrade well and then incineration is an option.

Recycling is the most obvious way to effectively deal with materials whether or not they are biodegradable.

Why should you not bury nonbiodegradable waste?

Burying nonbiodegradable waste can lead to long-term environmental issues, as these materials do not decompose and can leach harmful chemicals into the soil and groundwater.

Instead, nonbiodegradable materials should be recycled or disposed of properly to minimize their environmental impact.
