Rubbish costs money. The
of our dustbins either have to be buried or burned, but we do not always realise how
the cost of its disposal can be. In addition
the cost of the rubbish collectors and their vehicles, there is also the
of burying the rubbish in holes in the
or 'tips'. These costs are going to increase as existing tips are filled and places for new tips become
to find. Rubbish can be burned
buried, but this method is far more expensive to operate. So, as
as sufficient holes are available, burning is
to play a major role. Moreover, much rubbish will not burn and remains as waste. But the
of rubbish, that is the reuse of materials, can help to improve the
in many ways. For example, glass bottles and jars
one tenth of household rubbish. The more that people can see the
of recycling, the more they can be
to give their support to it. It is hard to find anyone who does not benefit from the modern method of getting
waste. |
