Dumping of waste One of the main causes of Soil Pollution is the dumping of waste. Until a few years ago the separate collection didn’t exist in our area. The garbage was collected all together and everything was thrown into landfills.In these years many people have understood that the mountains of rubbish can be an asset that helps to save on resources. With recycled paper we save trees, with the plastic from bottles we can make benches for public gardens, tables and chairs for the home. Kitchen leftovers can become excellent fertiliser, and wood chippings a source of energy; that is why it is important to separate waste.
