Indiscriminatory dumping of waste can harm our surroundings because the waste we dump may be harmful for animals. It may contain toxic substances such as mercury, lead, arsenic, etc. When animals sense the food polythenes, they swallow it. This may choke their windpipe and lead to death. It pollutes land and water. The waste can seep into the ground to pollute ground water. Surroundings do not remain hygienic. Because of this, diseases spread very quickly. They kill helpful microbes in the soil. Decomposition of organic matter produces methane. This can lead to fires. Many posionous fumes come out of waste.
