The Garbage Problem

Inappropriate garbage disposal can cause harm of underground water sources. Relocate

the garbage dumps, and there will still be this incredible unhealthful problem. Garbage disposal

laws prescriptive to the discovery of this problem were not mandated. Now the reaction of

authorities is more proactive as the laws toughen. Some garbage dumps have deflated in size,

but most have increased as the incredible amount of garbage produced continues to multiply.
