Man’s survival entails a good clean living environment. However, how can we survive if the earth is full of waste materials? Life depends much on the planet that we live in.
It is a fact that the production of waste has been growing at an amount greater than the economic growth of a certain place. In developing countries, their population is rapidly increasing side by side with their economy. With this, there is also urbanization within their community that brings a high living standards. This further results to the generation of waste (Guerrero, L. A., Maas, G., & Hogland, W., 2013). These summed up to an unintended and negative impact on the environment with the great acceleration of waste.

It implies that developing countries are critically under pressure to come up with an effective, functional and economical solid waste management systems (Ejaz, N., and Janjua, N. S., 2012). It is a harsh reality that the different cities and provinces down to the smallest unit of the country contributed to the garbage situation in the country. Hence, solid waste management is a challenge and responsibility of the city leaders (Guerrero, L. A., Maas, G., & Hogland, W., 2013), especially that there is great need on the implementation of such activity. However, this must not be the sole responsibility of government officials, rather every citizen must contribute in the degeneration of waste materials.
The aforementioned scenarios then strengthen the need to conduct researches on environmental issues related to waste materials.
With the dangers posed by the generation of waste, several waste management are being introduced. Waste management refers to the control of generation, storage, collection, transfer, processing and disposal of solid waste materials in a way that best addresses the range of public health, conservation, economics, aesthetic, engineering and other environmental considerations (LeBlanc, R.,

The documentary ‘Trashed, with Jeremy Irons’ focuses on how the waste management industry is having deleterious consequences on human and animal life on this planet. By using case studies from around the world, Jeremy Irons takes the viewer on a narrated journey from Lebanon, to the UK, to Vietnam, and to the North Pacific, all with the objective of demonstrating how the ways in which humans get rid of waste: through landfills, incinerators, and oceanic dumping, are harming human health, destroying people’s livelihoods, and adversely affecting animals’ welfare. Irons concludes this dismal narration of the anthropogenic harms of the waste industry with an uplifting look at the positive changes that grassroots organizations are effectuating in the disposal of waste. Ultimately, this film is incredibly successful in getting its point across in its 93 minutes running time; that humans must change the way in which we deal with waste. This success can be attributed to how skillfully Jeremy Irons exploits

Industrial and capital hubs in developing countries are similarly characterized by multiple urban sprawls, informal settlements and overcrowding. The local governments or municipalities in many developing countries are highly challenged by mainly poor or weak policy and legislative provisions to regulate and enforce waste management guidelines. They also lack adequate funding and the correct capacity in terms of waste management personnel. All these challenges lead to situations where these local authorities are failing to take effective decisions with regards to solid waste management. It is worth noting that the decisions which municipalities are facing in terms of managing solid waste are not only difficult and capital intensive but they impact greatly on the natural environment as well as on social lives of people, therefore solutions to this issue are a matter of
