Description
Waste management is a topic that people do not think about much. Most of the time, they just throw their trash in the bin and are not interested in what happens to it afterward. However, modern society would not be able to function without an effective waste management system. Just think of the situation in cities when the waste collection system does not work as it should. A strike by employees or another disruption of the system makes life in cities unbearable. The smell of waste is everywhere, and flies, rats, and other pests multiply. That is why it is important for sociologists to address this hidden yet very important aspect of modern life and help us understand the ecological consequences of a 'throwaway society'.
