What happeneds to our thrash?

When we dispose of trash, it typically ends up in landfills, where it can take years to decompose, releasing methane gas and potentially leaching harmful substances into the soil and water. Some waste is incinerated, reducing its volume but releasing pollutants into the air. Recycling programs aim to divert materials like plastics, paper, and metals from landfills, allowing them to be processed and reused. Ultimately, effective waste management and reduction strategies are essential to minimize environmental impact.
