- Though a company that handles the physical trash removal will take the trash away, you could be left with a considerable mess to clean up on your own. Often, the company will remove all of the garbage, but some debris gets left behind. If you do not check with the company, there is a good chance that they will tell you they are not responsible for clean-up. So, make sure that you ask them this and hold them accountable if necessary.
Municipal solid wastes are leftovers made by the population such as food, plastic bottles, household wares and many more. These items referred by most as “the garage” or “trash”. (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2015) In the early 1900’s, incinerators were used to burn waste however by the Mid-20th century, lawmakers enacted the first government regulations in an attempt to address increasing concerns about the environmental impact of unregulated waste management practices. With the first waste management legislation being passed in 1965, brought along the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970, thus bringing us into a new world of waste management.(Vault, n.d.)

Toxic waste disposal should be on everyone's mind in the United States. Even if this problem does not affect our surroundings first hand, it may end up affecting us later down the road. The way toxic waste is disposed of throughout America is not always the most legal way or the most safe way. Toxic waste should be carefully watched, but it is always left to businesses to declare what they want to do with it. Whether they want to dispose of toxic waste legally or illegally, it's up to them. No matter what produced the toxic waste, the waste itself is always the last thought on the minds of the businesses. As long as the waste is disposed of and it doesn’t cost them a significant amount of money is all that matters to them. This should be a concern for everyone in the United States and not just the people in the vicinity of the toxic waste. The people in the vicinity of the toxic waste may be hit with the hardest problems, but we are all at risk. Toxic waste has the ability to move freely and could easily move anywhere in the United States. Toxic waste also doesn’t care who it affects. It will affect adults, animals, plants, kids and even kids that aren’t even born yet. It also does not discriminate against social class. The toxic waste comes and goes as it pleases, but is usually left until it becomes a problem and by that time it is usually going to take a lot more to fix the issue then if it was just dealt with the right way. By the time toxic waste is found, it will have

The waste contains large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorous, the primary ingredients in fertilizer for plants. This causes the plants to grow faster, so when the waste gets into waterways it can cause algae blooms. The algae can block out the sunlight from other organisms in the water. Algae grows very quickly and dies very quickly. The decomposing algae uses the dissolved oxygen in the water which is essential to the lives of the organisms in the water. It causes a dead zone, an area where it is difficult for organisms to live there. The excessive nitrates in the waste can cause more than environmental problems, it can also be detrimental to our health. The nitrates can get into the groundwater and the surface water. Excessive nitrate exposer can cause blue baby syndrome, the disruption of the thyroid, and bladder cancer. Communities near the hog farms can also suffer from respiratory problems, anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. Humans can acquire more than 40 different types of diseases from the hog waste.

Land value goes down in the communities near the farms due to the health risks and the foul smell. Property tax is based on land value, so when the land value is low, the local
The current recycling program in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana is insufficient to meet the needs of the community. Many urban populations are taking advantage of technological innovations to maximize the effectiveness of recycling programs. One issue in Vermilion Parish is that there is an insufficient number of locations in which recyclables can be dropped off. Thus, even though the recycling industry in Vermilion Parish is well-established, the availability and feasibility for recycling opportunities is quite low to much of the population. The result is that the recycling program is relatively inefficient in Vermilion Parish. With an annual population growth of around 2% (Prakken & White, 2014), the need for increased recycling

At the moment, the collection day for household waste and recycling is every Monday. This is looking to change due to the cost of money and bank holidays affecting people's bins being changed every week.

Hazardous waste and its proper disposal have become a major sociological problem today due to its capability of contaminating the area in which we live and its potential to be lethal to all living things. In order for the United States and the rest of the world to save itself from a potentially life threatening problem they must fix the causes which lead to the improper disposal of hazardous wastes and like materials. Some reasons that hazardous waste has become a problem in the United States today is due to the breakdown in enforcing laws for the proper disposal of such wastes, a lack of initiative on big companies behalf to spend money on proper disposal, and the ease of disposing of such wastes illegally.
