To recover valuable materials from closed or inactive landfills

To increase the waste load in landfills

To accelerate the decomposition of buried organic waste

To reduce waste by converting it into energy

Question 2: What is the primary benefit of using project scheduling software in waste management projects?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It automates the waste collection process

It helps track project milestones, resources, and deadlines

It streamlines the waste sorting process
