Waste management and disposal involves the collection, transport, treatment, and disposal of waste materials. Sustainable waste management practices prioritize minimizing waste generation through source reduction, reuse, and recycling, while ensuring that any remaining waste is disposed of safely and responsibly. This includes proper handling of hazardous waste, composting organic materials, and utilizing waste-to-energy technologies to recover energy from waste streams. Effective waste management systems are crucial for protecting human health, safeguarding the environment, and conserving natural resources.
