Contaminated soil
When waste removal in Perth is not done properly soil contamination is a harmful side effect. Products with hazardous chemicals that end up in landfills result in these chemicals leaking into the soil. This will of course affect plants growing in the area but then will also affect any animals (or even humans) who feed on them.
Contaminated air
When certain plastics go to landfill they get burned and release toxic gas and chemicals into the air. Plus the gas released from decomposing waste can also be quite explosive which can cause issues for communities that live nearby.
Contaminated water
That’s right, it's not only air and soil that gets contaminated. Waste that leaks into the soil can often find its way into groundwater. This is then used directly in our water supply which we use for watering and even drinking. Worse still is if it makes its way into streams or other bodies of water.
Poor impact on our health
With all this contamination, the population near landfills can be greatly affected. People who work in waste disposal and landfill facilities are at high risk. Exposure to waste that has been poorly handled can lead to a variety of adverse effects like infections, skin irritations and sometimes even reproductive issues.
Harms wildlife
Animals are highly affected by carelessly handled waste. Many marine animals can die from eating plastic or styrofoam. Additionally many animals who graze on grasses grown on contaminated soils can find themselves poisoned by the toxins.
Disease ridden pests
Pests like rats or mosquitos live near sewage areas and have a tendency to carry diseases, some of which can be life threatening. Poorly disposed cans and car tyres can cause diseases like malaria or dengue to be carried.
Diminishes recycling opportunities
Besides being good for the environment, waste recycling in Perth brings in some good revenue. Improperly disposed waste causes small losses on an individual scale but this can lead to larger revenue and resource loss if poor waste practices are practiced in the long term.
Contributes to climate change
Gases that are released from the decomposing waste can contribute to the greenhouse effect. Careless waste practices can harm our planet immeasurably and will make it a harsher, more difficult place for ourselves and future generations.
