6. WHAT IS WASTE?  Waste is any unwanted material or substance that results from human activity or process.  3 categories:  Municipal – nonliquid waste that comes from homes, institutions, or small businesses  Industrial – comes from consumer goods, mining, agriculture, or petroleum extraction  Hazardous – solid or liquid waste that is toxic, reactive, flammable, or corrosive

7. METHODS OF DISPOSAL  Sanitary Landfill  Waste is buried or piled up  Designed to prevent contamination of groundwater and reduce soil/air pollution  Incineration  Controlled process in which mixed garbage is burned at a very high temperature

8. SANITARY LANDFILLS  Almost 6,000 landfills have been closed since 1988 and some have been converted into recreational parks  Liners can be punctured, releasing pollution into groundwater  Keeping the landfill dry prevents decomposition of materials that are biodegradable  Gas (methane) pumped up from the bottom can be used to create energy

10. INCINERATORS  Reducing volume doesn’t get rid of the toxins  The waste must be transported to a hazardous waste landfill  Scrubbers, much like those on factories, remove some toxins from emissions  These incinerators can be used to create energy, not profitable

12. MINIMIZING WASTE  Waste Reduction  Bring own cups/bags  Donate  Reduce packaging  Recycling  Composting

13. HAZARDOUS WASTE E-waste Heavy Metals Organic Compounds

14. DISPOSAL  Landfills  Must have several solid, watertight liners  Located far from aquifer  Surface Impoundment  Shallow pits lined with plastic and impermeable materials  Deep Well Injection  Well drilled deep beneath the water table, with waste being injected into it
