International waste

International Waste Compactor at a Marine Terminal

International waste is any organic waste product that is deemed unsafe to be released into the environment or standard municipal solid waste stream that has originated from an external country, and sometimes territory.[1] Such waste must be treated before it can be disposed of in the municipal solid waste stream to prevent sickness and environmental damage.[2][3] If not managed properly, regulated garbage can have detrimental impacts on agriculture, livestock, and crops.
