The bar chart compares the amount of waste disposed to three types of ways namely landfill, burning and dumping in sea in a nation in Europe between 2005 and 2008.
Overall, it is clear that waste disposal to landfill decreased slightly, while there was a gradual increase in the figure for burning during the period shown.
In 2005, 70 million tonnes of garbage went into landfill. Both burning and dumping in the sea were also popular methods. In the following years, this number then dropped steadily by around 10 million tonnes and was only 40 million tonnes in 2008. Likewise, the amount of trash discharged into the sea declined from 55 million tonnes to 40 million tonnes at the end of the period.
The garbage disposal by incineration was slightly lower than that of landfill by around 5 million tonnes in 2005. Over the following four year, however, burning was the most used method to around 65 million tonnes. The air pollution was dramatically increasing.
