What happens to your waste?

household waste
Everything disposed of in this container will be sent to landfill and not recycled. Waste that is sent to landfill breaks down and can produce a toxic liquid and methane gas, which contributes to global warming.
With increasing waste produced each year, existing landfills are rapidly filling up. Recycling of materials reduces the need for new and ever larger landfill facilities. Help protect the environment – only throw away materials that cannot be recycled or re-used.
