Abstract

Currently, there is about 1 ton of garbage per person per year in the world – all this is called household municipal waste (MSW). The article presents factors that negatively affect the environment that lead to global environmental problems (underground fires, uncontrolled release of methane, thinning of the ozone layer, etc.), lists activities that are carried out to protect nature from MSW in the Russian Federation and abroad (Israel), several examples of engineering methods for solving the problem with MSW landfills are given. The problem with municipal waste is so great that there is no absolutely correct solution, at the moment, that will help the world forget about this problem forever.
