Garbage
indeed cause problems that are difficult to unravel complicated until now. The
problem continues to exist because the garbage is the density of an area, it is
difficult to find a site for a landfill. The following 4 Island landfills in
the world being used as a place of waste management.
1.Thilafushi
is located to the West of Malé, and is located between Kaafu Atoll's Giraavaru
and Gulhifalhu of the Maldives. Geographically it is part of the Vaadhoo
channel. Thilafushi received its first garbage from Malé on 7 January
1992. Work started with just 1 landing
craft ship, heavy weight trucks, 4 2 ekskavator and a single wheel loader.
During the early years of waste management, a hole with a volume of 37.500 ft3
(1060 m3) were excavated, after sand obtained from the excavation was used to
construct walled enclosures around the perimeter. Waste received from Malé was
deposited into the middle of the Middle holes, ending with a layer of uniform
construction waste then levelled with white sand.
Thilafushi
not only act as rescuer of waste matter on their own, but also sent them from a
cement warehouse storage and other bulk storage facilities. The Government of
the Maldives is now striving to maximize the management and processing of junk
with more sophisticated technology to pressing environmental pollution level
around the island.
2.Semakau
Island, Singapore. Located 8 kilometers south of Singapore and the island is
within 3.5 square kilometers, Semakau is designed by engineers in Singapore the
NEA. It consists of two small islands that have been connected with a stone
embankment. The inside is divided into 11 regions of the Gulf, which is coated
with a thick plastic and clay to prevent unwanted materials pollute the ocean
Since
it started being used in 1999, four of the 11 Bay has been filled in, covered
with soil and planted with grass. Greening it cost about $ 400 million, can
store up to 60 million cubic meters of debris, enough to fill the waste
management of Singapore until 2040.
3.Yumenoshima
is an artificial island in Tokyo Bay really made out of trash. It began in the
late 1960s (although some sources say has started since the late 1950s or late
1970s) by the Government of Tokyo Prefecture/city as a solution to some
problems of garbage. But a solution was found in 1972 when the City Government
decided to make it into a garden. Now the spaces covered by eucalyptus trees
and come by train, green fields for picnics, sunbathing, and anyone who is
looking for relaxation. Between the garden can be reached by a bridge and the
yacht marina.
4.
Floating Garbage Island, Pacific Ocean. A very large island, twice the size of
Texas floating somewhere between San Francisco and Hawaii. It is composed of 80 percent plastic and
weighs around 3.5 million tons of float in which few people have ever traveled,
in the land of no man's land between San Francisco and Hawaii.
