Read the comprehension passage and answer the following questions: 

Waste management are a set of activities that include collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste material. There are four methods of managing waste. The first one is Recycling which means turning waste into new material but some argue that collecting, processing and converting waste uses more energy than land filling.
