Solid waste disposal methods were presented. Solid waste is defined as useless and unwanted solid products from human activities. There are eight main sources of solid waste including municipal, industrial, and medical wastes. Sewage consists of wastewater from homes and businesses. Common solid waste disposal methods presented included sanitary landfills, incineration, and composting. Sanitary landfills involve burying waste in trenches where microorganisms break it down over time. Incineration reduces waste volumes but has high costs. Composting separates organic waste which can be used as fertilizer.
