Answer
The problem of city garbage dumps has acquired a global nature due to the increasing amount of waste generated by urban populations. On average, every town dweller throws away around 1.5 tons of garbage annually. Garbage dumps are usually located in remote areas, and they take up large areas of land. Garbage dumps can harm people and animals by releasing toxic chemicals into the environment, and by creating an unsightly landscape. The most effective method of waste disposal is to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Garbage can be useful in industry and agriculture by being used as a source of energy or as a fertilizer. The most complicated type of garbage to get rid of is hazardous waste, such as chemicals and radioactive materials.
