SCEI210 - Unit 4 IP Municipal Solid Waste ******** ********** American InterContinental University Abstract In this research paper we will be reviewing the history of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). We will describe what problems an open landfill‚ early landfill and a modern landfill are and how innovations are being implemented to the landfill to make it more productive and reduce the environmental impact. Introduction In this research

Transported excrements from people and animals are broken down with enzymes and bacteria to form a natural gas used for energy in the villages [ (Docksai‚ 2009) ].

However there are bins installed in local markets‚ but the refugees there still rarely uses it. Other than that‚ there is only little organized recycling or reuse of waste materials

Hence‚ they do not harm the environment or upset the ecological balance when they are disposed of. There are also eco friendly products that are made out of recycled materials. These recycle products help reduce the need for new raw materials and the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators (because waste can be diverted to making recycled products).
