Sewage collection in urban areas can be a really big problem and although people don't appreciate it, it can really harm the environment.
You may be sat there wondering how it supposedly harms the environment and if this is the case this article is just for you.
This article will explain how we just all reconsider our sewage collection.
I hope you find this article informative and useful.
Don't forget that there is plenty of further information online so get searching if you wish to know more.
As you may or may not know if you live in a built up/urban area you will almost definitely be on mains drains.
If you live in a rural area you could be on a cesspit emptying scheme or a septic tank.
If you live in an urban area have you ever thought about the sewage collection in your area and where it may end up? Understandable you may not have thought about this.
Your waste leaves your house through pipes and you don't have to think any more of it other than your monthly bill or direct debit to have it removed.
If you knew it most probably went into a landfill would you still be as happy? There are so many other ways it can be removed and filling up landfills by burying waste isn't the best solution for the environment.
Landfills are often established in no longer used quarries, mining areas or borrow pits and we can only fill up so many until we have no more land to use.
If you are on a cesspit emptying scheme you could be in luck.
You'll be helping to prevent extra waste going into landfills.
Your waste will probably be sprayed over land, which isn't currently being used.
Many farmers will rest land for a few years and in that time they will allow or be paid by cesspit emptying company so that they can spray waste from your house onto the field.
It helps everyone as not only does your waste get emptied somewhere but it also helps the environment because it's not being emptied into the ground, along with this it helps fertilise the soil in the fields, which will help grow food.
As you can see this is a far better way to get rid of bulk waste.
It's a shame that not many companies do this but if it were done it would help everyone involved.
