| Description: |
At present, almost all the waste produced in England and Wales is sent to landfill sites. However, the volume of waste being produced by households and businesses is increasing to such an extent that other methods of waste management have to be adopted. Recent European legislation has stated that landfill must be the last option for waste disposal. All other options, like recycling, minimisation, prevention and re-use, must first be considered before the landfill option.
