of disposal and management. Waste
management normally deals with all types of
waste whether it was created in forms that

special cases where it may pose a threat to
human health. [2] It is produced due to human
activity such as when factories extract and

among countries ( developed and developing
nations ); regions ( urban and rural areas ), and
