Which of the following is not a common method for treating municipal solid waste? a)  b)  c)  d) 

 

 

The option that is not a common method for treating municipal solid waste is Deforestation.

Deforestation is not a method for treating municipal solid waste, but rather a destructive practice that involves the removal of trees and other vegetation from forests and other natural ecosystems.

The three common methods for treating municipal solid waste are:

Composting - the process of breaking down organic waste materials, such as food and yard waste, into nutrient-rich soil that can be used for gardening and farming.

Incineration - the process of burning waste materials at high temperatures to reduce the volume of waste and generate energy in the form of electricity or heat.

Recycling - the process of collecting and processing waste materials, such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal, and turning them into new products, reducing the need for virgin materials and reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills.

These methods help to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and promote more sustainable waste management practices.
