Waste management poses a daunting global challenge. This resource provides an in-depth look at the waste management industry in the USA and elsewhere.

The book begins with an introduction to waste disposal and management through history, from early civilizations and the Middle Ages through to the present. Readers will better understand current problems, controversies, and solutions relating to waste management, including the exportation of hazardous wastes, electronic wastes, agricultural waste, and environmental justice.

A series of perspective essays cover topics such as recycling, compositing, and wastewater management solutions. Readers are supported in their continued research on the topic with an extended annotated bibliography; a chronology; a glossary; lists of noteworthy individuals and organizations in the field; and important data and documents.
