Join us online for Trash Week | Waste Managers, Monday 11 October 2021 at 6.30 p.m.

Humans play an important role in the waste cycle, from raw material extraction and processing through product manufacturing and disposal. A waste management system may provide advantages and generate income or cause significant environmental harm depending on how well a community is informed and aware of the types of trash it produces and its possible consequences on the natural environment and public health.
Interventions in waste management should be supported by public awareness and education campaigns. Waste is the product of human activity, and every person must be aware of the problems and risks associated with waste management, as well as the critical role he or she plays in turning waste into riches.
