Landfilling of waste is the final step in the solid-waste management process but also the least desirable due to its inherent environmental impacts.
Landfilling of waste is the final step in the solid-waste management process but also the least desirable due to its inherent environmental impacts. Rent-A-Drum makes every consideration to avoid disposal to landfill through the application of recycling and its related technologies including resource recovery.
It is a well-known fact that landfills cannot be ruled out completely in the waste management hierarchy and will always form part of waste management due to the nature and consistency of certain waste materials.
With a shift towards the diversion of waste to landfill as well as the emergence of a green consciousness, public and international pressure in the way in which landfills are managed is constantly growing. Further to this, municipalities, mines and utility corporations no longer want to be associated with dumping sites but rather with engineered and sanitary landfills where the possible pollution of the environment is restricted and controlled to the absolute minimum.
Rent-A-Drum has an excellent reputation for environmental responsibility and has played a pivotal role in raising the standards in waste management in Namibia.
