In the past, people burned their waste, causing many problems with pollution being introduced to the air. Solid waste was often disposed of in unsafe manners, compromising the health of the environment. In 1965, the federal government put a stop to these activities by introducing the Solid Waste Disposal Act. This was an amendment to the Clean Air Act. This law required individuals and companies to use environmentally sound methods of disposing solid waste.
Over the years, the government has gotten more and more involved in making sure this act is followed so the environment is protected. Through environmental service companies, Solid Waste Disposal Services Oklahoma can be carried out properly.
