Waste management
Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, recycling or disposal of waste materials.
Waste management is also carried out to reduce the materials' effect on the environment and to recover resources. Waste management can involve solid, liquid or gaseous substances, with different methods and fields of expertise for each.
The management of waste varies for residential and industrial producers. Management for household waste is the responsibility of local government, while management for commercial and industrial waste is usually the responsibility of the generator.
If you need advice about your waste management at home, contact your local council.
