Illegally Exporting Garbage
Exported Garbage in China
Garbage is illegally exported to other countries by companies who try to avoid the taxes on garbage in their country. Many times a developed country will send its garbage illegally to a developing country. The country there must then deal with it. The country, however, is too poor to actually deal it. The garbage continues to pile up and disease spreads because of the lack of sanitation. Some people who live near garbage will search through it and reuse or sell it. However, diseases become very rampant with this and many people get infected by doing this.
