Management

Recent innovations in urban waste management, such as waste-to-energy recycling and multiple bin waste collection, are enabling municipalities to divert waste from landfills to recycling facilities.
Large cities have the capacity to fund cost-effective waste collection and recycling programs. Smaller towns and villages are still having to rely on urban facilities that come with the cost of self-hauling to transfer stations. Crop-burning and garbage-burning practices are also a concern that lead to health and environmental problems.
