	Waste management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Waste management is the collection, transport, processing (waste treatment), recycling or disposal of waste materials, usually ones produced by human activity, in an effort to reduce their effect on human health or local aesthetics or amenity.
		Waste management for non-hazardous residential and institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually the responsibility of local government authorities, while management for non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste is usually the responsibility of the generator.
		Disposing of waste in a landfill is the most traditional method of waste disposal, and it remains a common practice in most countries.

	What Is Waste?
		Zero Waste America defines waste as "a resource that is not safely recycled back into the environment or the marketplace." This definition takes into account the value of waste as a resource, as well as the threat unsafe recycling can present to the environment and public health.

	Sustainable Solid Waste Management in Developing Countries
		The lack of effective legislation for solid waste management, which is a norm in most developing countries, is partially responsible for the roles/functions of the relevant national agencies not being clearly defined and the lack of coordination among them.
		To develop human resources with technical expertise in solid waste management in developing countries, there are three strategically important groups for external support, namely (i) key personnel in the national coordinating unit of the central government; (ii) operational managers of selected local governments; and (iii) university and other higher educational institutions.
		Among these target groups, the strengthening of human resources in the national coordinating unit and one or two selected local governments is the first priority and should be done in short term while support to higher educational institutions is a long-term programme.

	Hands On: Divide and Spray - Sweden
		By failing to return natural fertilisers, such as human excreta, back onto the land, we are depleting soils of nutrients, resulting in the production and use of artificial fertilisers, and the increased use of pesticides to prevent the food supply from diminishing.
		Applying human waste to crops is safer than spraying them with chemical fertilisers because it diverts raw sewage from rivers and can help improve agricultural production.
		Source separation of human urine is based on toilets equipped with two bowls, a front one for the collection of urine and a rear one for faeces.

	Torrents of human waste pouring into a sick Yarra - National - theage.com.au
		Test results due in March will determine how much of the pollution in the drains is either human or animal faeces, but the EPA expects the human component to be significant due to the problem of sewage spills.
		EPA chairman Mick Bourke said it was the human faeces that was the most concerning, as it was a prime transmitter of illness between people.
		The Opposition had warned the Government of the problem of human faeces in the river a year ago, said environment spokesman David Davis, and a 1997 scientific study had showed human material was a significant pollutant in the river.

		PMMV survives processing of foods and passage through the human gut, and the viral particles are known to be extremely stable," she adds.
		The virus might even multiply in the human gut, the researchers say, as the amount in the faeces was more than the virus load measured in food.
		She even thinks humans might someday benefit from plant viruses, since scientists might be able to deliver medications for diarrhoea and other intestinal disorders using the viruses, now that it is known the viruses survive the acidic, arduous journey through our bodies.

	Human Settlements - Waste
		Waste is material discarded, used up or left over in the course of industrial, commercial, domestic or other activities.
		The majority of our solid waste (waste that is not hazardous or in liquid form) is sent to landfill depots for disposal – an expensive and traditional approach.
		Poor waste management practices can lead to the pollution of surface and groundwater resources, air pollution, the generation of greenhouse gases (methane is a major greenhouse gas that is released by landfill sites), site contamination and the generation of odours.

	Solid Waste Policy - Conservation Policies - Sierra Club
		Although the Sierra Club supports the use of pathogen- and pollutant-free treated human waste as fertilizer, such a practice is only possible by separating the industrial waste stream from human waste.
		Data are needed on the identity, prevalence, fate, transformation, transport, and survival of disease causing pathogens and airborne sludge contaminants.
		Data are needed on chemical mixtures and their toxicologic interactions in sludges, and how they affect human health and the environment.

	Wired News: Human Feces Powers Rwandan Prison
		Lwakabamba said that prior to the construction of biogas facilities at a prison situated atop a hill at Cyangugu in southwestern Rwanda, some human waste was being thrown down the hill, near natural bodies of water such as Lake Kivu.
		The process requires putting a given amount of human or other animal waste into a "digester," which ferments it using bacteria to release methane gas that can be captured and then burned as fuel.
		Once the methane is produced, the remaining waste is used as an odor-free fertilizer for the gardens at the prison.
