This cost is then passed on to the local community. Once these locations were exhausted, transfer stations were constructed to transport our waste to larger regional landfills. These landfills occupy a much larger land area and have an increased life span. Unfortunately, this is not a solution to our waste problem, and we have only succeeded in leaving the search for a solution to future generations. Burying our waste is not the solution.
Valuable land is contaminated and unusable for years to come, and out precious resources are lost.
Unfortunately, at This point in time, zero waste is more of a hope than a reality, but one solution exists that directly addresses the move toward zero waste as well as several other valid concerns of both the government and local communities. This program is a well designed concept that addresses the concerns of the community. The waste generators. The program includes education generators on the theories of deconstruction, reuse, and recycling. The waste material is then diverted from landfill to the Raisch Park for either reuse or recycling.
