By Kimberly Johnson


Concern is being raised worldwide about growing garbage piles. The challenges with management are leading to growing pollution and contamination of both soil and water. This is why there needs to be solid organic waste disposal and management plans. It also calls for cost effective, sustainable and even income generating approaches to garbage management.

It is said that prevention is the best cure. There is an appetite to use new products that are sometimes unnecessary. This is an affinity for new products where everyone wants to buy the newest dress, container, equipment, etc without exhausting the old one. This has led to an increase in junk. Maximally utilize what you have before going for a new one.

Recycling has been recommended for years with excellent options depending the type of garbage. It is an industrial process that returns finished products into raw materials. Common garbage for recycling includes glass, paper, aluminum and plastic, among others. It reduces the quantity of garbage that ends up in landfills. It is also an environmentally friendly approach that also generates income.

Hazardous materials and toxic wastes are best dealt with through incineration. The end products are inert ashes and assorted gases. It can be used on almost all kinds of garbage apart from metal and glass. The challenge is environmental pollution especially in the form of emitted gases. You will require a special incinerator since there are restrictions especially in places that are inhabited.

Composting is the most common disposal method for organic garbage. The rubbish is allowed to stay for long in the pit where microbes act on it. This is an extremely slow process and requires you to select what goes into the pit. The resulting compost is rich in nutrients and is usually used as natural manure on plants. You will require a large piece of land. Using compost on your land significantly improves it fertility.

Sanitary landfills are recommended where composting and recycling is impossible. Special ground preparation is required to prevent contamination of ground water and soil. Preparation is done by laying a protective material like polythene paper to capture any liquid waste sipping out of your garbage. It is best done for huge volumes of waste and where the water table is considerably low. You need a lot of technical assistance.

Organic recycling can be referred to as deliberate composting. You accelerate the process of decomposition to produce manure. This is a superb way to dispose kitchen leftovers. This means that less garbage ends up in landfills. The cost of managing waste is also significantly reduced. The resulting manure boosts the quality of your soil when applied. This is among the sustainable and income generating methods of managing garbage.

Waste is easier to dispose when separated. What can decompose is separated from what cannot decompose. This allows appropriate dumping without hurting the environment and ensuring that you make the most out of your garbage. Compost can be sold for agriculture or horticultural use. The recycled materials are returned to factories for manufacture of other products. This makes garbage a source of income.
