This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 80%. (I'm a bot)


PRIBOJ, Serbia - In southwest Serbia, construction machines are being repurposed to clear tons of waste clogging the Potpec lake.
That's because the Lim river feeding into the lake swells during the winter months and sweeps up trash from dozens of illegal landfills along its banks, as it flows from Montenegro to Serbia.
The garbage problem is evident everywhere - piles of waste dot hills and valleys, trash lines roads and plastic bags twist from tree branches.

How to properly dispose waste is never ending problem and places that fail to take waste disposal seriously will find that the longer it fail to act the more headache and costly they will end up with. >

So true. You only have to a little math to see how everything we have left is trash.. Edit: unless we deal with it now, not soon. >

Waste disposal, I guess, is consumer - end. When all those lovely recyclables land at a plant to deal with its separation and processing, I guess there's still the bulk of the work to be done. Reusing things we can is the way forward, it's a shame a great many more don't recycle.
