Spatial analysis – location and scale of sites around New Zealand;Linking the data on disposal sites with Landfill Census data i.e. providing a full picture of disposal sites around New Zealand;Looking at alternative drivers of waste generation as a method for extrapolating data to regions where detailed quantity data is not available – building activity, regional GDP, …;Comparing landfill and cleanfill rules across New Zealand;Analysis of scale and number of non-MSW landfills correlated with waste management policy and infrastructure (including price structures)
The mounting garbage is an eyesore. But there is an even more harmful effect of the garbage - Mother Earth is grieving.

Reducing waste is one of the most important parts of waste minimization. Avoiding the unnecessary use of resources means there is less wastes to manage. The aim of waste reduction is to eliminate waste before it is produced. The next most cost effective means of minimizing waste is to reuse waste material in its same form. Reusing an item means it doesn't go in the rubbish and end up in the landfill. It also means that you don't have to buy a new product and so you are saving the energy and resources that would have been used to make the new product.
