During the COVID 19 pandemic, many people were operating under the assumption that waste management would be a minor issue. However, as the disease quickly spread and more people began dying (and consequently contributing to a greater amount of waste), significant problems began arising. In order to combat this growing problem, wastes were directed through mass incineration facilities where they were reduced to ash before being released into atmosphere.


Waste management has been a concern of COVID 19 since it first became a pandemic. The virus can spread through contact with feces, so it is important for us to dispose of our waste in a way that prevents it from contaminating others or the environment. People are advised to wear gloves before handling any trash, and all items must be washed thoroughly before being reused.


Waste management during COVID 19 pandemic is a serious issue that governments around the world are still struggling with. Many counties have resorted to burning their trash, which releases harmful toxins into the air and surrounding area while also causing litter on street corners. Though some communities have benefited from using sanitary methods of disposal like composting, many people are reluctant to jump on the bandwagon without knowing how they will be affected economically or environmentally by this new technique. With millions of people sick, and many cities in the early stages of capitulation, waste disposal is becoming increasingly difficult.
