11. Ways to minimize wasteReduceReuse is to use an item more than onceReuseReducing the amount of waste produced by a person or a society.RecycleRecycling involves processing used materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials

12. Waste management methodsLand fill methodDisposing of waste in a landfill involves burying the waste

13. IncinerationIncineration is a disposal method that involves combustion of waste material. Incineration and other high temperature waste treatment systems are sometimes described as "thermal treatment". Incinerators convert waste materials into heat, gas, steam, and ash.Spittelau incineration plant in Vienna.
