Se presenta el problema de las ciudades que no recogen sus basuras, por ejemplo una población de 300.000 habitantes produciría residuos sólidos que a 1 metro de altura, en una calle de 10 metros de ancho, ocuparían 50 metros lineales en un día, que equivale a 228 cuadras al año. La naturaleza actúa a favor del ambiente; si un hombre de 80 kilos muere, su cuerpo después de descomponerse ocupa un volumen de 2 x 10-3 m3, pero el excedente se convierte en gases malolientes, en líquidos con alta demanda de oxígeno y en sólidos inertes. Los autores calculan que cada tonelada de basura colombiana se convierte en 115 kg de materia residual inerte; 180 litros de lixiviados que contaminan el suelo, el aire y las aguas y 644 kg de gases, en su mayoría compuestos de CH4 y CO2.
