Appropriate Organic Waste Disposal Tips And Methods

By Kimberly Johnson


The amount of garbage being generated on daily basis is worrying the world. Garbage is piling up on every corner leading to pollution as management appears to be a problem. This calls for cost effective and modern methods of organic waste disposal. The methods should be sustainable, cost effective and where possible even generate income. The tips and methods given below will ensure effective dumping of all garbage generated.

It is said that preventing something is always better than having to treat or deal with the consequences. The first approach to managing garbage is to reduce the amount. As people go for new dresses, appliances, electronics and packaging materials, the amount of junk grows. There is need to exhaust the use of any item before it can be disposed.

Recycling is for items that are labeled as such. This is an industrial process that transforms wastes into the genre of the initial product. The products that are commonly recycled include aluminum, paper, glass and plastics. This is an excellent and environmentally friendly way to deal with wastes instead of filling them in nature. The process of recycling requires extensive investment but generates income in return.

Incineration is the recommended way of dealing with toxic and hazardous garbage. It results in assorted gases and inert ash. This method of dealing with garbage requires a professionally created incinerator. It may lead to environmental pollution and is sometimes prohibited for inhabited areas because some of the fumes produced are toxic.

Organic garbage is best dealt with through composting. This has been regarded as the most environmentally friendly approach. It works by compressing garbage in a pit and allowing microbes to work on it. This process takes time and demands that the rubbish be selected to avoid what cannot decompose. You will end up with compost that has a lot of nutrients that can be applied on flowers or horticulture. If you are dealing with garbage for a large population, you will require an extensive piece of land. When the compost is applied on soil, it greatly boosts its fertility levels.

Sanitary landfills are used for garbage that is likely to contaminate soil and water. The ground is prepared with a protective layer that prevents toxins from contaminating ground water. You will require technical assistance to effectively create a landfill. Ensure that the area has very low water table.

Organic recycling is almost similar to composting, but the idea here is to create manure deliberately. It is recommended for garbage that can decompose, especially kitchen leftovers. The quantity of garbage that ends up in landfills will reduce. The cost of disposing waste will also reduce. The quality or fertility of soil after the manure has been applied will also increase significantly. It is a sustainable approach to garbage management.

Garbage is best dealt with when separated. You will end up with garbage that can decompose and that which cannot decompose. The method adopted to manage waste must be sustainable, safe for the environment, appropriately executed and if possible self funding by generating income.
