MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN AUSTIN TEXAS

MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN AUSTIN TEXAS 1 Municipal Solid Waste Management in Austin Texas by Ken Carter at VIP Dumpster Rental Solid waste management is a problem in our society. The problem becomes worse in areas where there are high concentrations of humanity like Austin, Texas. Urban centers come to mind when we look at the challenge. The volumes of garbage produced each day by families and industrial set-ups have become a significant threat to our environmental habitation (Dunlop, R.E 1991). In light of the enormity of the challenge that the waste collection and disposal poses, it is important that those of us who are environmentally conscious find mechanisms to help alleviate the situation. The team at VIP Dumpster Rental Austin Texas are committed to finding creative solutions to eliminating the chaotic situation. There are laid down principles that guide waste management in different ecological setups. The main reason for these policies is the fact that trashes are of different nature. While some garbages are decomposable, others are not (Polplasert, R.E 1989). In the same vein, while others are reusable, some are not. The different composition of debris collected in trash removal also ensures that there must be a variety of mechanisms that we can apply to eradicate them. In this paper, I have made efforts to discuss a lot of facts regarding garbage collection and disposal. I will first discuss in brief some of the principles that guide the process of trash removal containment; The first principle concerns itself with waste minimization. The principal is formally known as the waste hierarchy. The key concept in this idea is the reduction of garbage being disposed of in the environment. It creates the criteria which involve reduction, reuse and recycle (Sheldon, R.A 1996). The provided criteria are guiding trash producers such as domestic sources and industrial sources first to reduce the capacity they dump at the Austin landfill, reuse those that can be reused and ultimately recycle. If we follow the steps, we will make a giant leap in the endeavor. MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN AUSTIN TEXAS 2 The second principle relates to the life cycle of products; I must note the existence of refuse starts at the designing stage, the production and finally distribution. It is prudent for policymakers in these steps to have in mind the need to conserve the surrounding in which we live. The guys in charge, therefore, use materials that are capable of being reused and recycled. The polluter pays; it has been a practice that the producers of garbage pay for that piece which has got to be dumped at the Austin landfill since it is irrecoverable. The practice is a deterrent to large producers of garbage. The fear of financial loss may serve to hinder some of the industries from carrying on with what may otherwise be a hazard in the society. Over the years, a lot of effort has been made to combat the menace. However, the efforts being made have not been active. I find it needful that I examine some of the reasons why the mechanisms applied to manage wastes have not been as successful as anticipated. Rapid industrialization; the rate at which industries grow has hampered the efforts put in place to wage war on garbage collection. As industries grow, they emit a lot of dirt that may not be reused or recycled. The companies, therefore, have to find places where to relieve them. This habit led to the rise of massive Austin dumps and a deteriorated surrounding (Shrivastava, P 1995). Unresponsive authorities; I realize that there laws that have been established which ought to guide the whole process of trash generation and disposal. In spite of this, we still encounter some unguided garbage elimination in the environment. In this matter, we have been failed by our leadership. Had we followed the laws strictly, the challenge would not have been monumental as it has been (Aznar, M.P et al 2006). Deducing from the statement above, it may appear like there is no hope for a better future. It is however not the case. A lot of players are making reasonable efforts to ensure that we make a better country free from pollution due to garbage collection services and disposal.
