Causes, Effects and Solutions to Illegal Dumping
It is no longer uncommon to see or find huge piles of wastes, old house items, construction waste or used products dumped by the roadside, in the forests, or non-designated dumping sites. This trend is on the rise and is increasingly becoming a problem because it hinders the objective of keeping the environment clean and can have serious impacts on wildlife and habitat.
According to environmental protection agencies and departments, this malpractice is termed as illegal dumping. It is considered unlawful on account of the harm it causes to the environment.
What’s more, there are officially designated areas with properly integrated waste management systems, which should be used for dumping. Therefore, in defying the clearly outlined laws for appropriate dumping by throwing trash just anywhere, such as by the roadside or in the forest, it becomes unlawful.
The increase in overall waste production is in tandem with riches, rapid change of preferences, and the ever-growing population throughout the world. Additionally, people are becoming more and more consumer-oriented than in the past.
Previously, people depended on new and creative ways to use old stuff. Still, in the contemporary world, the majority of people are in search of new and better products, especially home appliances, clothes and electronics. The throwing out of old devices and used home appliances has thus lead to an increase in illegal waste dumping.
