Garbage removal during the industrial revolution and today
Our residences, in addition to commercial businesses, receive a large amount of waste material that needs to be disposed of almost every day. Gone are the days when society was scarce and waste collection companies were unknown. Historically, the community used to dig out a large tank-like structure, ideally on the outskirts of the village or town, and everyone used to dump their own kitchen waste there. Finally, when the particular tank was filled, it was closed with mud and sand and another one was dug up nearby.
Right now, this particular practice is followed by a number of tight-knit tribes who stay away from modernization in far flung jungles untouched by technology. This process has its own merits and also its demerits. Men and women ensure that everyone in the local community participates in the excavation of the particular tank and makes sure that all the waste from the community is deposited directly into this tank. Each person will make sure that people do not throw garbage here and there in the town or city. A major disadvantage in this type of waste disposal strategy is that the community tank must be close to the village or town and there is usually a danger of disease through litter and garbage, especially during rainy seasons. The particular stench of the tank is likely to be experienced everywhere and make people sick.
The industrial revolution seemed to be to blame for the disintegration of community life. People migrated en masse to towns and cities in search of work in factories and industries. These people began to dump waste and garbage from their houses anywhere and everywhere they pleased. This was a big problem for the regulatory authorities because they were responsible for the real welfare of the people residing in their country. Therefore, the government of that area or country organized for waste disposal using the local government agencies. This was the time when society split into two parts, the haves plus the have-nots. It is evident that the have-nots were primarily associated with accumulation, in addition to the removal of the rubbish that had accumulated each day.
After a while, the collection and disposal of garbage and waste became associated with a stigma in which people involved with this profession were belittled. So the government authorities found fewer and fewer people who were actually ready to do this garbage collection and disposal job. This was the time for those who had a vision to change the way things worked and how they really needed to work. Young and energetic entrepreneurs appeared who did not consider anything servile or low-level. These people were that kind of real arena that had the guts to think and act in ways that the community could never have approved of.
A garbage collection organization during the industrial revolution, when almost all businessmen talked about textile factories or factories that created tools or perhaps weapons; it was unimaginable. People might have laughed at the simple reference to a garbage collection company. However, there were a few who knew precisely how essential and important the service was not only for a certain company, but for the entire ecosystem or, for that matter, the environment.
