When something is thrown away, it will not disappear or disintegrate. It will only end up somewhere else in some other form. When waste ends up where it is not suppose to be, it becomes useless, causes pollution and poses health risks. On the other hand, when waste is put in the right place, it becomes a valuable resource.
