Garbage cans are not magical portals. Trash does not disappear when you toss it in a can. Yet, the
average
American throws away an estimated 1,600 pounds of waste each year. If there are no magic
garbage fairies, where does all that trash go? There are four methods to managing waste: recycling,
landfilling, composting, and incinerating. Each method has its strengths and weaknesses. Let's take a
quick look at each.
Recycling is the process of turning waste into new materials. For example, used paper can be turned
into paperboard, which can be used to make book covers. Recycling can reduce pollution, save materials,
and lower energy use. Yet, some argue that recycling wastes energy. They believe that collecting,
processing, and converting waste uses more energy than it saves. Still, most people agree that recycling
is better for the planet than landfilling.
1) Landfilling is the oldest method of managing waste. In its simplest form, landfilling is when people
bury garbage in a hole. Over time the practice of landfilling has advanced. Garbage is compacted before
it is thrown into the hole. In this way more garbage can fit in each landfill. Large liners are placed in the
bottom of landfills so that toxic garbage juice doesn't get into the ground water. Sadly, these liners
sed don't always work. Landfills may pollute the local water supply. Not to mention that all of that garbage
stinks. Nobody wants to live next to a landfill. This makes it hard to find new locations for landfills.
As landfill space increases, interest in composting grows. Compositing is when people pile up organi
matter, such as food waste, and allow it to decompose. The product of this decomposition is compos
Compost can be added to the soil to make the soil richer and better for growing crops. While compostin
is easy to do onsite somewhere, like home or school, it's hard to do after the garbage gets all mixed u
This is because plastic and other inorganic materials must be removed from the compost pile or the
