In general this does not include excreta,although sometimes nappies and the faeces of young children may be mixed with solidwaste. Solid waste can create significant health problems and a very unpleasant livingenvironment if not disposed of safely and appropriately. If not correctly disposed of, wastemay provide breeding sites for insect-vectors, pests, snakes and vermin (rats) that increasethe likelihood of disease transmission.
