The New Litter: Disposable Masks

by Lisa Luck, Solid Waste Consultant and Volunteer Writer

Like it or not, masks will be a part of our lives for an unknown period of time thanks to Covid-19. Covid-19 is most easily spread through droplets from our respiratory systems propelled outward through breathing, singing, coughing and/or sneezing. Properly worn masks contain our respiratory droplets and keep others from being exposed to any viruses or diseases we may harbor. When we wear masks – we protect others. When others wear masks – they protect us. Containing our own respiratory waste has become crucial in preventing the spread of this virus.
