Due to the absence of trash can in the community, when trash in various home has piled up. What most people does is to dump them in anywhere they could find a hole such as canal and nearby pond. Some even burn their trash which mostly comprises of plastic waste, which releases harmful chemical to the atmosphere.

These various trash disposal, has become a major issue during the raining season. When the canal has been blocked with trash, water finds it difficult to move through the drainage system which causes a minor flood. The pond level rises and all the trash will been transported to another location mostly nearby farm lands.

My contribution in saving my community from this crisis

I have made a lot of effort to communicate the effect of improper waste disposal and its effect on the community. Mosquitos uses this waste land as a breeding ground which in turn causes malaria sickness. With all my effort little has change because most people in my community is waiting for the government to make provision for trash cans at various location in the community.

We also try to contact the city representative on this issue but no positive feedback. All the member of the community has agree to contribute certain amount of money to buy trash cans our self because we are the one been affected by lack of it. Hopefully all these problem will be resolve if everyone play his or her role.

We have come to the end this article and I will like to thank all my audience. Thanks for reading see you soon.
