Basura

Garbage is all the material and unwanted product considered as waste and needs to be eliminated because it lacks economic value. The OECD defines as waste "those materials generated in production and consumption activities, which have not reached economic value in the context in which they are produced." Waste management is the term used to designate the human control of collection, treatment and disposal of different types of waste. These actions are intended to reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment and society. It is usually deposited in places intended for collection to be channeled into landfills, landfills, or other places. At the moment, that term is used to denominate that fraction of residues that are not usable and that therefore should be treated and arranged to avoid sanitary or environmental problems, for that reason the recycling consists in recovering the waste to transform them into an object with new useful life. La basura es todo el material y producto no deseado considerado como desecho y que se necesita eliminar porque carece de valor económico. La OCDE define como residuo a "aquellas materias generadas en las actividades de producción y consumo, que no han alcanzado un valor económico en el contexto en el que son producidas." El manejo de residuos es el término empleado para designar al control humano de recolección, tratamiento y eliminación de los diferentes tipos de residuos. Estas acciones son a los efectos de reducir el nivel de impacto negativo de los residuos sobre el medio ambiente y la sociedad. Normalmente se deposita en lugares previstos para la recolección para ser canalizada a tiraderos o vertederos, rellenos sanitarios u otro lugar. Actualmente, se usa ese término para denominar aquella fracción de residuos que no son aprovechables y que por lo tanto debería ser tratada y dispuesta para evitar problemas sanitarios o ambientales, por eso el reciclaje consiste en recuperar a los residuos para transformarlos en un objeto con nueva vida útil.
