A Report Into Rubbish, Waste and Recycling Services Provided by Newcastle City Council

Heather Roger claims our current garbage disposal methods are short term and etiquette. Rogers’s position is clear that we need to minimize the use of landfills and create better means to discard trash. In supporting Rogers’s environment views I think that we need to create a more economic and environmental friendly garbage disposal system. Heather Rogers and Lars Eighner both acknowledge the issue with society’s throwaway mentality. Eighner proves that we throw away perfectly working stuff, having survived off others discarded materials. Eighner argues against excessive waste we create but does not have any prospected solutions. Whereas Rogers acknowledges the obvious need to minimize our consumption of waste but argues the need

Light needs to be shed on the reality of the recycling process as to where all of our trash

Wasting is something we’re all fond of doing; it has become a very popular issue in my city. Whether arising from lack of time to consume, or greed driven. The council is stopping land fill, and having household waste collected in groups i.e. Glass, metal, food waste, plastic and paper. This assures quick delivery to recycling plants to be materially

Recycling is presently one of the most controversial topics, considering that while most individuals put across their support regarding the act the number of individuals who actually do something in order to recycle is much smaller. Many people are currently unable or unwilling to recycle properly because the process often requires a series of changes in one's life. It is thus essential for the authorities to provide educational programs meant to assist individuals in understanding why recycling is important and in learning how to recycle effectively. People need to accept the fact that the benefits of recycling will reflect on the future and that conditions are currently critical as a result of the fact that the masses are generally unacquainted with the importance of this process.

The council has put in place the recycling program, to try reduce and improve human health. The programme has managed to tackle landfills from being full with rubbish that can cause the air to pollute, causing severe damage to human health. The recycling program has had a positive impact on human health, less pollution in the air means people get to live a longer and healthier life because , environmental factors such as pollution is not causing so much damage to the air and environment.

There are many different types of needs that need to be met. They are health, development and social care. There are also PIES needs. As my service is within health I will need to explore how their health needs are met by Carters Green Medical Centre. Depending on their life stage I need to consider their social and or development needs.

It can be observed that they have motivated and direct people toward the best practices of waste management. Separate bins for recyclable garbage and other garbage are provided by Southbank.

As with the Hardy Township site, trash must be removed from and around all bins before collectors will pick up recycling. That means an investment of man hours and added cost to the county, said Miller, who is hopeful changes will inspire voluntary

Household waste management is a growing problem in the United States and many other parts of the world. “The U.S. creates a lot of household solid waste per day per person. If there is a huge population of millions of people in a small area, household garbage can easily accumulate to 100,000 pounds per day. A few years ago, residents made a million tons of city waste per year and a billion tons of industrial solid wastes. In 2006, the U.S. residents generated half of 251 tons million tons of municipal solid waste per year and about 8 billion tons of industrial solid waste. This tremendous amount of waste includes both hazardous and nonhazardous waste. (Massawe, et.al, 2014)” A better understanding of household behavior is needed to assist

The topic chosen to look at in this case study is how sending unused food to landfill contributes to the greenhouse effect, and the methods humans can use to reduce the large amount of food wasted. This is a huge problem in society today as people tend to have an ‘out of sight, out of mind’ mentality when it comes to wastage. They throw out food without a thought of the harm it could cause if it is not dealt with properly. This problem was first highlighted in the three part series ‘War on Waste’ presented by The Chaser’s Craig Reucassel, which aired on the ABC in May 2017. In the first episode Reucassel challenged 10 families living on a Sydney street to go as “waste-free” as possible for a month. He starts by sorting through the bins of the

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is a significant issue in New Zealand. Teo and Loosemore (2001) maintain: “Levels of waste within the construction industry need to be reduced for environmental and economic reasons. Changing people's wasteful behaviour can make a significant contribution” (pp.741). This paper defines the CDW issue, significant stakeholders, relevant ethical theories and costs.

Recycling is an essential part of reducing the amount of waste filling up landfills. Recycling materials cannot only reduce waste but pollution as well. Unfortunately the typical recycling programs such as curbside pick-up and recycling centers require significant commitment from the public to be successful which generally leads to low participation. However there may be a solution to the problem. The pollution prevention and reduction program suggests the use of materials recovery facilities. Materials recovery facilities sort out recyclable materials from other waste products such as compostable items. By sorting out the waste at one central location more items get recycled and waste is reduced without public participation. A recent article by Wang (2010) suggests, “The installation of materials recovery facilities (MRFs) can be an alternative solution to the problem of low participation of voluntary household and curbside recycling in fast-growing cities.” Materials recovery facilities can be a viable solution for waste management problems where public participation is an obstacle. This solution also provides less societal impact because lifestyle change is not as critical.

3 Major environmental issues in my local region where l reside (West Midland, United Kingdom) are: (a). Waste. This is defined by the law as “any substance or object which the holder discards or intends or is required discard.” (Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC). This is known as item thrown away or no longer useful by the owner. Waste is generated daily, if it is not properly manage it
