With the increasing rate of development, population, and economic activity and the social levels of society has been triggered an increase in the amount of timbulan waste. It is becoming increasingly heavy with just running the old paradigm of management that rely on the activity of collecting, transporting, and disposal, all of which require a bigger budget from time to time, which if not available will cause a lot of problems like trash that is not operational terangkut, facilities that do not meet the conditions, the way the operation of facilities that do not follow the technical provisions, and the endless land disposal.
Waste management is generally done when this is using open dumping system (hoarding openly) as well as does not meet adequate standards. Limitations farm Landfill (LANDFILL) garbage in large cities and metropolitan is also potentially raises a new question. Suburbs are still regarded as the easiest place to dispose of garbage. So the area is losing opportunities to empower and exploit it garbage, improve the quality of its environment. If this is not handled and maintained properly, an increase in junk that happens each year it could shorten the age of the LANDFILL and take the impact on environmental pollution, good water, land, or air. In addition, the waste could potentially lower the quality of natural resources, causing flooding and social conflict, as well as cause a variety of diseases.

Generally, activities in waste management include control of timbulan rubbish, garbage collection, transfer, and transport, processing and final disposal (Kartikawan, 2007) as
The broad plateau at its summit is large enough to hold Dodgers Stadium with plenty of room for parking. Set to close this October, it is the country’s largest active landfill. Most of the 130 million tons of waste buried for eternity beneath its lumpy slopes could have been recycled” (1). With the use of words such as “trash mountain”, the reader can greatly visualize America’s landfilling problem and the importance of recycling.
However that does that help with the obvious problem which is excess consumption that leads to environmental and human hazards. Waste Land shows how the rich exploit the poor for their own
In Richard Muller’s essay on Chemical Waste in America, he points out many different problems in todays disposal techniques of nuclear waste. He brings in readers by appealing to American citizens with his visual texts, guilt, and how we must start feeling some empathy for our future generations and find a solution to prevent a massive chemical waste epidemic. Mullers argument bases off his visual texts, by showing us a reality that is going on today. Among the visual texts, Muller explains the exact quantity of chemical wastes in the United States by telling his audience that, “we have already generated more than enough nuclear waste to fill up Yucca Mountain,” which is a storage bunker for chemical waste products. Muller even includes a picture of Yucca Mountain so the audience can get a feel for the absurd amount of waste we have built up.
Heather Rogers in “The Hidden Life of Garbage” (LG Kirszner, SR Mandell eds. Patterns for College Writings 13th ed. Boston: Bedford, 2015) argues that the waste treatment facilities provide efficient means for garbage disposal, but in the long run the waste would tarnish the future public, and the public should reduce their wastage amount. The “sanitary landfills” are guarded away from the public’s eye, and the garbage from metropolitan cities is disposed in rural areas at increasing rates. Geological Reclamation Operations and Waste Systems (GROWS) is responsible for the three hundred feet tall pile of waste near Pennsylvania, this pile of garbage symbolizes America’s intemperate consumption and wasting habits.
Around the world, composting facilities congregate complaints of nauseous odors, defecating sea gulls, and masses of unsanitary rats (Tierney 3). Not only could the waste cause disease, but if an inspector finds an animal carcass in a ton of recyclables then workers will have to throw the ton out or it will have to go through the facility again. Landfills are a better solution to this problem. For example, for the next one thousand years all trash thrown out by Americans would fill one-tenth of one percent of land that is available for grazing (Tierney 3). The landfill is not just a waste of space either.
Id. Because of the vast population of people living in these cities, any mismanagement of the waste could lead to catastrophic results. Further, without a holistic system in place in these cities, the system could be abused, manipulated, and exploited. But by running the only facilities in these cities, the state can effectively manage the system for the benefit of all.
There are dead animals and human waste all over the ground also. The cities are not very sanitary. This is a negative impact because diseases will spread easier because people are living in filth.(Entry 7)
In “Waste Not, Want Not” the author Bill McKibben, approaches with informative charged words to pursue the reader into taking his side of argument. Bill pursues to convince the reader to shift priorities in waste management to halt climate change and return frugality back to the past times. waste not, want not: if you use a resource carefully and without extravagance, you will never be in needed. Over 80 million plastic bottles get thrown away every day, but what 's the point?.
In 1970, in order to eradicate the problem the Japanese government enacted the waste management act, which defined the responsibilities of municipalities and waste industrial operators to manage waste. However in 2000, the problem continued to increase forcing the government to find more comprehensive ways of dealing with waste by introducing the eco town
Meanwhile, the methods of waste disposal have improved over time. Also, that getting rid of garbage is quickly becoming a big problem due to our methods of waste disposal are only a temporary solution. Moreover; the waste that can’t decompose
That is an enormous threat for the residents that live around. What’s more, experts aruged that where the landfill sitting was not making any scientific sense. Even though the location of the landfill made no sense, the government still place the landfill in such unreasonable location. This is a kind of environmental discrimination based on the poverty because this area is one of the poorest areas in the whole country. The government would think that the people will just bear this situation and do nothing to resist.
Waste Management Inc Is a company that is try to achieve a “zero waste’ in North America. It was founded in 1971 by Wayne Huizenga and Dean Buntrock. They provide services for: • Waste • Recyclables • Yard debris • Hazardous materials collection, • Hauling, treatment and disposal • Dumpster rental • Portable toilet rental • Security services
Some materials cars are made of are highly recyclable, but most of an unusable car’s mass winds up in a junkyard. Another contribution to pollution is landfills. A landfill is a location designed for the systematic storage of waste, and the waste is buried using soil. Most things we use daily become useless and wind up in a landfill. Experiments show that gases and chemicals released from landfills can cause harm to humans and animals.
Recycling reduces the rate of pollution, and pollution affects human conditions. As an example, in a landfill, the chemicals that are decomposing are releasing air toxins, harming human's senses. Hydrogen sulfate gases are an example of harmful chemicals, and these gases can cause respiratory problems and irritation in the eyes and nose. When the waste material that could be recycled is burned, that process also releases a whole mass of toxins that people breathe. Finally, recycling helps people in terms of health and
Industrial and capital hubs in developing countries are similarly characterized by multiple urban sprawls, informal settlements and overcrowding. The local governments or municipalities in many developing countries are highly challenged by mainly poor or weak policy and legislative provisions to regulate and enforce waste management guidelines. They also lack adequate funding and the correct capacity in terms of waste management personnel. All these challenges lead to situations where these local authorities are failing to take effective decisions with regards to solid waste management. It is worth noting that the decisions which municipalities are facing in terms of managing solid waste are not only difficult and capital intensive but they impact greatly on the natural environment as well as on social lives of people, therefore solutions to this issue are a matter of
