Disposal of Items: The final and environmentally sound disposition of a material that cannot be recycled, reused or renewed. Purchasing choices made every day, whether for the home, business, institution or industry, affect whatgoes in the trash and, ultimately, what ends up at a landfill or incinerator. By making choices that support reusable, recyclable or compostable products and packaging, you can reduce the amount of waste needing to be disposed. How we handle what is left - the waste we have to throw away – can take advantage of efficient and durable waste handling equipment and new collection and transport technologies that increase compaction and reduce costs and environmental impact.
