There are many types of waste. If we search inside it, we will find a lot that we can use in other areas, and here lies the importance of modern methods of disposing of waste. Specialists in this matter sort the waste and use it for other purposes such as the industry of recycling and paper. Some are used as organic land fertilizers, and others are used in bridging some of the new projects, which save a lot of expenses to the state. There are other methods in dealing with hazardous and harmful waste materials because throwing them in the sea affects the fishery wealth. Hence we know the importance of modern methods in preserving the environment, which has an impact on human health. Smoke from burning waste and exhaust results in the lack of oxygen and damages the lungs of many. The radioactive materials and factory waste which are poured to the sea or on roadsides and other things can cause many human infections and diseases, and costs the state large sums of money for the treatment of these diseases, which could lead to the death of many people. Modern roads have many benefits in providing amounts of funds to the state, or providing a clean environment where the citizens can enjoy their life. The country must pay attention to this important file and prepare specialists in this area, provide opportunities and help them with what they need in order to work and provide new ideas to help them provide methods of waste disposal in a secure way, and cooperate with other countries making use of their experience and capabilities, and offer our ideas because the world is now a small interconnected village, so what is happening there can hurt me here.

Governments should work to develop plans and strategies for the long-term and short-term to deal with the waste in its various forms in order to make them less dangerous to the health of citizens in all of the country. Developed countries know the exact extent of risk from such waste, so it is known to all that these developed countries dump their wastes in other countries that are less economically developed and offer them little money in exchange because they know very well that this waste could affect the health of their citizens. Therefore, the development of methods for waste disposal will transform the world map to manufacturing and energy use without fear or worry about health and the environment. They should implement proper planning with the appropriate and effective mechanisms under a legislation that governs all this system, which should be mandatory and applied to society. The more the people, the more the vehicles, the manufacturing, and the discoveries that lead to frequent waste. At the same time there has to be parallel work to get rid of this waste in a modern and sophisticated way that is safer on the health of citizens using the production line, its increase and the increase in population and energy use. That way the methods become preventive and we stop heading towards the spread of diseases and becoming obliged to seek treatment for diseases which may be difficult to recover from; prevention is always better than cure for these diseases.

The burden of waste disposal lies on the state that produces it on its territory in order to avoid infecting their society with epidemics and diseases. This is an essentially inevitable matter to governments and of utmost importance in cleansing the environment and climate for the population and organisms in addition to the landscape. The latest methods of waste disposal are through recycling of waste through automated and sophisticated methods. The process of recycling materials include solid, liquid, soft, and also nuclear and radioactive waste disposal. Development varies from one country to another according to the technological advances in recycling and optimal waste disposal. Here, people pay the price of their country's delaying the process with deteriorating health. The partial wastes produced by individual people are not the most dangerous, which we may worry about, but the major wastes from factories and wastes resulting from it. The State must provide all modern methods to overcome these risks to their people. For individuals, this matter may have been resolved much more easily than the wastes coming from the exhaust of factories, nuclear reactors and medical hospitals. This is government’s role, and it is necessary for governments to positively affect how to get rid of wastes in the modern way using burial, burning or recycling of biological waste and energy recovery and mainly minimizing waste reduction, minimizing use and consumption, and how to move it optimally, and to collect it. In addition to spreading awareness and educating people on how to deal with this deadly waste, as the importance of safe disposal of this waste lies in the continuation of human life in the light of a few diseases and epidemics. These wastes hurt many people in various countries of the world, so even if getting rid of the waste costs the State’s budgets

In the light of proliferation of technology and the proliferation of electronic consumption of individuals, we can see that everyone has at least one TV set, one computer and a mobile phone, if he does not have even more. All the heavy industries, we cannot get rid of them as we get rid of food, plants or the like as we bury animals and men. Those heavy industries contain chemicals that cannot decompose naturally. However, it takes thousands of years for their decomposition. It is toxic to the land even if it is decomposing on the land. The land wants to be probed and it will cause harm to both man and animal. The technology and the modern techniques came to fix what it ruined a little. If we see this technology from the perspective of maintaining the environment, we will find that it ruined more than it fixed. The scientists were able to find solutions to these industries. They found that they could reuse these products one way or another. For example, the computers have many electronic chips that can be used in making chips for human minds to work on fixing many diseases such as deafness or forgetting. This is the latest that science has come up with. Western society has paid attention to this matter since a long time ago, so it put in place special policies to handle the wastes. For example, we can separate wastes in every home, so that they will put biological wastes in one place, bags in another and electronics in another place. That is what should be done in the developing countries that have rapid population growth like Cairo, which will open the door to use in all fields of life, and not because it is a new industry but because it enters in all industries of life. The wastes produced from the industry can be used in a good manner that will save us a lot of energy and raw materials.

Modern methods of dealing with wastes. In the past wastes were collected in certain places and burned, which caused many problems from atmospheric and environmental pollution because of the smoke from burning, besides the accumulation of insects and the stench in these places where there is an assembly of waste. Its accumulation in many places where it was left for long periods also led to the spread of diseases and epidemics. There are modern methods of collection, classification and recycling to eliminate all these problems as well as the addition of some advantages to it, as modern methods are based on several stages. The first stage is classifying wastes, which means separating each component into a place far away from the other components, such as the separation of plastics away from the rest of the materials and separation of paper away from the rest of the material. The second stage is to collect this waste, which is classified before, and re-manufacturing it or recycle it such as taking plastics into factories and adding materials to melt it down, and re-using it to produce garbage bags, as well as paper. This way, we will be able to eliminate pollution problems, which happen because of burning wastes. We will also be able to earn new resources for the State and find new jobs, which means reducing unemployment gradually. Some developed countries have already started to use these modern methods in dealing with wastes, such as China, which is currently importing the waste that is classified by countries, re-manufacturing it, and then exporting it to the same countries as finished products.

The competent authorities in most countries resort to a lot of ways to dispose of household and industrial wastes. The process includes three stages, collecting the wastes, recycling them and using them once again. The countries are using different means to collect and transport wastes. It differs from one country to another. The States also hold educational and awareness campaigns. Besides, some countries conduct various environmental studies in order to reveal the impact of the waste on their land as well as the people. They want to make sure that the disposal of waste makes the minimum negative impacts on the environment. They want to reduce the negative consequences on the environment and the health, safety and comfort of the citizens. In other words, they are trying to choose the means of disposal that create the minimum damage. On the other hand, many countries are trying to reinvest the wastes in order to get various types of energy. Some countries use wastes to obtain fuel, in addition to other sources and derivatives of energy. There are many possibilities to convert such wastes into an important resource for the State. This process requires good management, particularly at the stage of the wastes treatment. The overall objective is to develop the means and the methods in this field. Thus, we should benefit from the wastes.

Lots of countries are recycling wastes and using the useful things once again and introducing some of them in different industries. As for the rest of wastes which cannot be used in any form, they will be disposed of once and for all in an environment-friendly way which will not harm human beings and the general appearance. In fact, only developed countries and a few other countries in the world are recycling wastes. However, a few other countries and particularly the underdeveloped ones are carrying out very risky acts in the process of disposing of wastes. In fact, they are piled up in a way that causes the pollution of the environment and the spread of diseases and epidemics. They also affect people’s health and the atmosphere because the toxic gases which are released by the wastes and the carbon dioxide will affect the hole in the ozone layer and this will affect all humanity in the future. On the other hand, some other countries burn or bury wastes in order to get rid of them. Yet, the latter cannot be considered as safe methods of disposing of wastes. On the contrary, they are extremely dangerous for the environment and the people. Therefore, we have to adopt developed means and methods to recycle and treat wastes.

We can dispose of wastes once and for all in a different way but this should be according to developed and modern methods. The latter will enable us to benefit from wastes once again, away from the traditional methods which have been and are still adopted by some countries in the process of waste disposal. In fact, they used sometimes to burn wastes causing considerable air pollution in addition to the spread of smoke which has a significant negative impact on people’s health and the atmosphere. Besides, we will lose these wastes, their benefits and the opportunity to re-use them onceagain. In fact, we can gather these wastes, treat them, recycle them and determine the useful things which could be exploited in other industries or even the things which could be repaired and used once again. Indeed, these wastes are considered as a wealth for developed countries since they are indispensable for many industries, including the heavy ones. In fact, recycling and re-exploiting wastes in other fields have been adopted by Western countries for a long time. Wastes are considered as a major resource for a lot of companies, countries and people and this will relieve the negative effects of these wastes on the environment, people’s health and the general appearance, given that wastes leave a lot of filth. In addition, recycling wastes is considered as one of the financial resources for some countries which directly interfere in their economies. Recycling wastes differs from one country to another and from the developed, the developing to the underdeveloped countries. Each country extracts a benefit from wastes which is different from the other one. Therefore, we call on our country to get the maximum benefit from these wastes, which are in reality considered as wealth for other countries in the world.

The disposal of waste caused by human beings must be carried out in a proper way in order to prevent harming people. For instance, some parties may burn wastes and cause air pollution. Some other may dispose of them in the sea or rivers and this will cause water pollution. On the other hand, some others bury wastes in remote places away from residential areas but these wastes will pollute the soil and may contaminate groundwater wells which can be consumed by human beings. In this case, people may consume contaminated water. Indeed, there are different methods to dispose of wastes safely. They can rather be very useful for human beings. For instance, in many developed countries, governments have established areas which can be accessed by litter vans. In these places, wastes are classified into solid, organic, plastic and metal wastes. After that, each type of these wastes will be sent to the places where they will be recycled and turned into useful materials for people in a different way from its initial usage. Therefore, all countries must establish such stations which can benefit the nation, protect the environment, employ a lot of manpower and create new job opportunities.

With the development in all our life aspects we have unfortunately witnessed the terrible increase of waste which has accumulated without any benefit. However, in the recent period the phenomenon of recycling has appeared and it has mainly relied on all the kinds of waste. In fact, the accumulation of wastes whose manufacturing involves chemical products can greatly harm the environment. For example, plastic is one of the most dangerous kinds of waste and it is difficult to get rid of it. And if we don’t get rid of it in the right way, it will become very harmful. One of the ways of managing them is by burning them, and even though that might do the job, however, it will lead to extreme air pollution that harms people. Besides, burying such wastes will harm the soil because they are inorganic materials and they cannot decompose in the soil. In fact, these methods are not useful. Thus, the right way to benefit from this waste is to recycle them in order to be beneficial to human beings. For example, it is possible to recycle them in order to become rubbish bags especially that the manufacturing of these bags doesn’t require sanitary standards. Thus, we can use any kind of plastic to manufacture these bags that are indispensable to any house. This is instead of getting rid of this plastic waste in a way that can harm the environment.

It is time to get rid of the wastes because these wastes cause the spread of illnesses and environmental pollution. Using plastic bags resulted in the problem of the wastes being scattered everywhere in uncivilized ways. Moreover, they will be a way to collect them easily by municipal workers, so that we have to use plastic bags specialized for these wastes. There should be guidance from the municipalities everywhere to raise the awareness of people about the dangers of not using plastic bags. The government should work on getting rid of wastes with modern techniques that prevent the spread of environmental pollution and diseases. They can make use of the useful wastes and get rid of the useless. The world has witnessed significant progress in exploiting plastic wastes as the manufacturing of plastic material depends mainly on the material of plastic, so you can imagine what a country imports of plastic so that one can be used again to produce household or sanitary items valid for using again. How much will be the profit of this country from such a process or how much will it save for the citizens from having to buy imported materials, and all that needs a good study by the government to provide the equipment and tools needed to solve this problem and get rid of wastes in streets. The modern techniques should be supported to protect the health of citizens and they should be made aware of why they should have clean environment and pure air.
