Disposal, or removal, refers to the process of getting rid of unwanted items or waste materials. This can include anything from household trash to hazardous materials. Proper disposal is essential to maintain cleanliness and protect the environment, as improper disposal can lead to pollution and health risks. There are various methods of disposal, including recycling, composting, and landfill use. Each method has its own guidelines and regulations to ensure safety and efficiency. Organizations like EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) provide resources and information on best practices for waste disposal to help individuals and communities manage their waste responsibly.
