Waste Management

1) In Nicaragua they use landfills to manage their waste. The largest landfill is located in Managua, Nicaragua on the south shore of lake Managua and it is the largest land fill in Central America. 

2) Some of the challenges that the city faces with the disposal of the waste is that the landfill is growing over 7km long and coming to the point where is might be hard to containing it in one place so it doesn't over flow into the lake. Considering it's an open air landfill and it is next to a lake. 

3) They could improve their waste management by doing what we do and control what is happening with there waste. Also having a place where there recycling goes and have a recycling system instead of putting it with the waste  and having families sort through it. Also to cover it up as the landfill begins to overfill.
